MThe Monarch
[Laughs evilly] Time to pay the piper, Venture. Or in minutes my meca-pillar silky issue will destroy the only living proof you've actually had sex. That is, unless you give me $10 million!
VDr. Venture
What?! Since when do you arch for money?
Yeah, what are you doing?
MThe Monarch
Honey, how long have we been trying to kill this schmuck, 10, 20 years?
I don’t know, since Marky Mark had a Funky Bunch!
MThe Monarch
And it never works. You wanna know how to really hurt Venture?
Not really, but as a wife I try to be supportive, so.
MThe Monarch
We strike him in the pocket book. Ha-ha.
Yeah, speaking of which, how much did those meca-pillars set us back?
MThe Monarch
I dunno, a couple of mil. Anyway, it’s $10 million Venture. Tick-tock tick-tock.
VDr. Venture
Look I don’t have that type of cash lying around.
Daddy! [Meca-pillar gags him]
VDr. Venture
All right, you can have anything in my lab. Anything you see here, take your pick. Anything except for the positronic accelerator...
MThe Monarch
I don’t want any of your old crap. This isn't "Antiques Roadshow," dick. Its your money or their lives!
Yeah, quit being such a skin-flint and pay the piper-man.
Now don’t take sides with your arch-enemy!
Shut up, you're not the dad of me.
VDr. Venture
Hank! Don’t you sass your bodyguard.
VDr. Venture
Will you accept half for just Dean? You can keep Hank.
Your father doesn’t mean that Hank.
VDr. Venture
Oh don’t I? Do you know what Mr. Smart-Mouth called me as he stormed out this morning? A "honky!"
MThe Monarch
[Chuckle] Did you really?
MThe Monarch
I’m transmitting you the instruction for the drop-off now, I suggest you follow them. Or your boys will follow the rainbow bridge to Valhalla. [Laughs] That is not as dark as its sounds in my head, is it?
UWUPS Worker
"Well hey there, slugger! Looks like you're gunning for my job!"
"Did my dad tell you to say that?"
"Then... are you psychic?"
VDr. Venture
"Hank, leave the man alone. Just because he's black doesn't mean he has the shining."
[The Monarch is confronted by the Pupae Twins/Murderous Moppets]
I'm only gonna say this once. I don't like you two, and if you ever - EVER - try to give me an order again, I will kill you both and feed your tiny, rotting bodies to the neighborhood dogs!...Now, what were you saying?
[Venture and Sgt. Hatred ride to the gates of Malice, they are next to a security guard robot.]
GRGuard Robot
You're gonna have to turn your vehicle around. This is a gated community.
Yeah, I'm a pretty little flower. Like a prom date, maybe?
[Robot guard keeps saying, "This is a gated community."]
Enjoy the silence, are you for supper?
[The robot starts to malfunction while still saying, "This is a gated community."]
Turtles. Now let's go talk about little, breaded chicken fingers.
[The guard robot collapses on the car window.]
Heh, robots. Programmed to answer over 700 different questions, none of which includes chicken fingers.
C8Councilman 8
I'm staying in the car- We! WE are staying in the car.
We haven't been outside in over 30 years. I'm old and I'm afraid of everything!
C8Councilman 8
I am worried the streets will be overrun with teenage gangs.
Teenagers are cruel and will undoubtedly laugh and mock at us, because our trousers are not in style anymore.
C8Councilman 8
And we are two heads on one body, and that has never, ever been hip.
PLPhantom Limb (Revenge)
And I can kill a man by simply touching him. Now what were your special powers again?
C8Councilman 8
It's in the safe, isn't it?
DDoctor
I think a good way to begin is to tell Rusty a bit about yourselves and your journey to the group.
Me first? Well, I have a bit of an eating disorder...
DDoctor
Lance, wait your turn.
As a superhero sidekick, I led a very active, athletic lifestyle. But when I turned eighteen, and I was, shall we say, "replaced with a newer model," I started putting the weight on. And then I would eat more because I was depressed. (The Doctor prompts him to continue.) And...I have abandonment issues? More?
DDoctor
Tell Rusty your name.
Oh, well, that's a tricky one! The latest development in my caped crusade against Captain Sunshine's lawyers is that I get to keep most of the costume, but I'm no longer allowed to call myself Wonderboy when I appear in public.
Lance Hale: *cough* Mall openings! *cough*
LHLance Hale
Our turn? Lance Hale, one half of the world-famous Hale Brothers. Boy detectives. You've heard of us. Anyway, we're here because my allegedly twin brother Dale still hasn't gotten over our father's death.
DHDale Hale
I can still see his face through the steam of his pooling blood as he lay sputtering on the cold linoleum floor...
LHLance Hale
(punches Dale in the arm) Punch-buggy depressing! Nobody wants to hear that crap, Dale! Heheh, sorry. We didn't just lose our dad that night. His death remains our only unsolved case ever. We had to quit the business because the shame was just too great.
Yeah, retiring at thirty on daddy's famous fortune must've been real hard on you...
LHLance Hale
For your information, Action Junkie, he bequeathed most of it to the local boy detective academy. We hardly got dick because nothing we ever did was good enough!
DHDale Hale
He did leave us that nice car...
LHLance Hale
It's totally fuckin' cherry! But that is not the point, Dale, and don't interrupt me again, or I swear to God I will fuck you up...
