Alter Egos Page #7
- No, no, no, no, no.
- No, I'm gonna be fine.
It's okay.
Don't worry.
- You're gonna be okay.
- Yeah, no, seriously,
I'm gonna be okay.
[Warbling tone]
- You healed yourself.
You've got--
- healing powers, yeah.
- Why didn't you tell me?
- I was gonna tell you.
I've just kept it a secret
for so long.
I just didn't want it
to be the only thing
that people cared about.
[Breathing heavily]
- Yeah, tell me about it.
You okay?
- Yeah.
- C-Thru.
Come on.
Can you get up?
- Yeah.
- Oh, dude.
Can you heal him?
- Well, if he's still alive,
I can.
[Warbling tone]
- Come on, bud.
Claudel saved you.
She's got superpowers.
- Yeah, let's keep that
on the d.L., please.
- Brendan--
- look, just save it, all right?
You're one lucky piece of sh*t.
- Jimmy's dead.
I can't heal him.
- Oh, man.
Well, he did shoot you.
- So what happens now?
- As far as I'm concerned,
that's Fridge right there.
- Fridge is dead.
- Just as I was starting
to like superheroes.
- I'll take it from here.
[Grunting]
I got a report to write
about a dead superhero.
Hey, Brendan?
You think you'll ever
forgive me?
- [Sighs]
Sure.
Over my dead body.
- Good night
I say to you
good night
dream
of all the impossible
and when you wake
you'll see
that all these dreams
aren't fake
they're real
not impossible
believe
you'll be all right
sad things
you keep inside
so go
tell me what it's like
tell me what you like
about when you dream
ooh-ooh ooh-ooh
ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
ooh-ooh ooh-ooh
ooh-ooh
- With their funding
fully restored,
the supercorps determined
that Fridge,
whose body was found
washed up on shore,
was not evil,
but only under the mind-control
powers of shrink,
who faked his own death
to escape custody.
Shrink is still at large,
and considered
incredibly dangerous.
New evidence shows
he was responsible
for the deaths
of two superheroes in 1992.
Supercorps leader,
captain amazingness,
has pledged to spare no effort
in capturing shrink.
For the first time,
the supercorps
has confirmed the identity
of one of its members.
Fridge has been identified
as local police officer
His family and friends
claim they are not surprised
to find out that Jimmy
was a superhero.
"He had a true love
for justice," his wife says.
"He was one of the good guys,
and that's rare."
- The other day,
I took my third-grade class
into the park,
and three third-graders
found underwear in the bushes.
- Do I think guns are good?
No, I don't, really.
But I would sooner have a gun
in the hands of sunburn
than some law-enforcement
officials.
- What am I going to do
with a taser
if a guy is half a mile away?
I need pistols.
- I'd even go so far as to say,
you know, I would put
a stealth bomber in his hands.
- Superheroes, like yourself,
are getting their powers
younger and younger these days.
- Well, I mean,
some people think
it's like the hormones
in the cows
and that we spray on crops,
but I think it's cosmological.
- Now, we know what kind
of problems puberty causes
in a normal human being,
so we can only imagine what must
be going through the mind
of these troubled
teenage individuals
who suddenly have--
suddenly have fire
coming out of their fingertips
or pieces of metal
flying at their body.
I once had a young patient
whose parents thought,
"she's just bumping
into things."
But really things were bumping
into her.
See, she had just
developed magnetism
and couldn't control it.
[Romantic music]
- you don't need
to leap over buildings
in a single bound
or run to me faster
than the speed of sound
you don't need X-ray vision
to look into my heart
you're my hero
just the way you are
just the way you are
you don't need to fly
around the world
to show a girl a good time
you don't need telepathy
you can already read my mind
and you don't need
super strength
to hold me in your arms
you're my hero
just the way you are
you don't need a Batmobile
to take me to the prom
don't have to be
the man of steel
all you got to do
is open up your heart
you're my hero
just the way you are
you don't have
to move mountains
to show your sweetness
'cause, baby, you move me
without telekinesis
don't need to take me
to the moon
to show me all the stars
you're my hero
just the way you are
don't have to stop
one of the trains
with your bare hands
or befriend supervillains
just to stop
their evil plans
believe me when I say
I loved you from the start
you're my hero
just the way you are
