Hey, I'm plenty cool as it is! I'm not giving the devil any power over this show just for that. No sireee!

... That's a joke, right.

Of course not! I don't joke about something so serious.

You're not going to try and convert me, are you? I'm not interested in religion.

Easy there! I'm not about that. You do you! And I'll do me. While helping the show stay super moral!

Right.

[God... everything he has to say about that will offend this kid. Might as well change the subject.]

So why me? You just slap random numbers in or something?

I... Yeah, that's exactly what I did.

See, I'm trying to win this bingo game?

Yeah, I figured. Did the same to someone else earlier.

[Except he didn't start with banana phone. But... now that he's here...]

Hey. You know anything about odes?

See? You totally feel me, man!

What, like the poems?

Yeah. The most I know is that violets are blue rhyme but this thing wants me to be Shakespeare or something.

Then Shakespeare it up! Just make a sentence and look up the fanciest synonyms that each word has. That'd be a good start, right?

Sounds like you don't know how to write an ode either.

No way man! I'm a poet and I didn't even know it!

[GROANING]

I'm gonna hang up if you keep that up.

[why hasn't he hung up already...]

Hey man, if you hang up, I'm just going to think that you're whack!

I don't want to hear that from someone who thinks swearing summons the devil.

I don't really think it works like that... but it's still not a good idea!

Well I guess you'd be the expert on that.

What, because of my character? Heh, I guess I know a thing or two!

[he can't believe this is real]

How does a kid like you survive in show business?

It's called having charisma, and being hipper than hip!

[Well, it's not like he's gotten much in the way of acting work recently.]

To the max!

Yeah? So what else have you been in?

Well, I mean, I've been focusing on Heckbusters for more of my acting career, you know... [He admits nervously.] B-but I've totally made some rad cameo appearances in some of my father's flicks! My face is out there, man.

[so that's how it is. damn. is that a bit of empathy he's feeling?? zoro sighs.]

You're having a hard time with work too, huh? Just come out and say it. I won't blame you.

What? No. No! No trouble here! All is well in the house of Wagner! I- I'm just working on my education right now, that's all! A-and I totally have modeling gig lined up, and Heckbusters is just on hiatus man!
