(sighs frustrated before Cecil appears before him, startling him) Whoah! Hey! Uh, we have these things called "doors" that normal people use all the time. You should try them.
We also have these things called Viltrumites. You should try winning a fight against them sometime.
Okay, too... too soon, Cecil. Also, how much does it cost every time you like teleport? Isn't that taxpayer money?
Do you know the gross economic output of Lichtenstein?
Not even a little.
More than that.
Uh... okay, well that seems really irresponsible-
(slams his hands on the table) It's been months, Mark! Months since 2000 retirees got their vacation ruined and you got your ass kicked by some second cousin of your dad's who dropped in to prove a point.
Hey-
That point being that she could kick your ass without breaking a sweat.
That's not nice.
Not only that, she promised Mr. Ten Times worse was on his way. So, what exactly have you been doing to prepare? There's only eight billion people counting on you.
Hey, I've- I've been busy!
Busy doing what exactly?
Well, I've been busy... (montage plays) Writing, designing, storyboarding, voice acting, key-posing-
(interrupting) Hey, hey, hey. No, no, no, no. Stop! I'm not falling for that shit. Who do you think I am? Some pickle-hating one-eyed rube from planet-just-let-the-Viltrumites-win?
I don't... think that. What?
No, I bet you don't. And don't even get me started on your little four month vacation right in the middle of things. We all sure loved that. Do you have mayonnaise?
Okay, it was more like... three and a half-
This is life or death, Mark. People are counting on you to live up your obligations. So what exactly are you doing to get ready for what's coming?
I'm... uh... You know I-I'm... stuff.
(facepalms) Yeah, that's what I was worried about. And why I shouldn't leave a nineteen-year-old in charge of Earth's security. All right, we're taking over your training.
Training? What training?
"What training?" Okay, how about... (small Chibi scenes appear) Weightlifting. Cardio. Speed. Damage resistance. Flexibility. Battle tactics. Reactions. And punctuality.
That's... so much stuff. Okay, when is... when is this all gonna start?
(sighs) I thought you'd never ask.
C'mon-
We're a top secret organization, Mark. And we learn from our mistakes.
But I need to know when to show up!
(sighs) Fine. Lights. (title card is presented with subtitle "NEW SEASON; FEBUARY 6 (NO MID-SEASON BREAK)")
Ah. Much better. Still can't believe I have to exercise.
