Whoah - hang on-- [There is some shaky cam for a second, and then Scott has managed to prop the camera up...somewhere. As he backs away, it's pretty clear that it's on some kind of tree branch, because it's angled down at Scott. He's got a lacrosse stick in his hands, and there's a red helmet on the ground next to him.

He's also grinning the biggest grin.]

The CES is awesome, in case uh, anyone else hasn't been up here yet. Totally awesome. [He's juggling a ball in the net, jerking the stick back and forth and tossing the ball up every now and then.] There's this big space, and it's like, completely perfect for lacrosse. Does anyone else play? Maybe we could get a scrimmage going.

[Private to Bruce]

Hey, uh, I'm Scott McCall. I'm new here, but Chromie told me you were talking about opening an animal clinic? It's just, I worked in one back home and I thought, you know, if I'm waiting around for an inmate I could help with that?

[Private to Megamind]

Hi. Um - I'm Scott. Do you have a minute?

[Private to the Admiral]

Sooooo, how would it work if I wanted to run an animal clinic? You know, for the pets and...animals. Can I use an empty room or something? Can you get me supplies? It'll, um. [And now he is totally reading from the list Megamind gave him.] It'll be a good, uh, employment opportunity for inmates, it'll make wardens' jobs easier because they won't have to worry about their pets, and taking care of animals is a good...learning experience?

Comments

[semifreakingnormal]

No. That's dumb.

[versusnurture]

He's all right.

[STOP THAT, SCOTT, WITH THE FACE AND THE STUFF]

[patheticvillain]

You're dumb.

[semifreakingnormal]

[HE CAN'T IT'S HIS FACE]

Well, you like him. That's all you really need, right?

[semifreakingnormal]

Dude, you're face is dumb.

[patheticvillain]

Excuse you. I'm gorgeous.

[semifreakingnormal]

You're okay.

[versusnurture]

[Well now she's just looking at him like he's dumb.]

No. How could that possibly be all I need? It's nice but that's all.

[semifreakingnormal]

[He is p dumb.]

But like, if you like someone, you'll listen to them. It's better than hating him, isn't it?

[patheticvillain]

Please. I'm an unparalleled specimen of masculine beauty.

[semifreakingnormal]

Masculine okayness, maybe.

[patheticvillain]

You're a terrible liar.

[semifreakingnormal]

That was all truth, man, sorry.

[private]

[megamind]

Do you want me to crush your enthusiasm now, or do you want it to wear away slowly over time?

Because one of those two things are going to happen. It's hard here. Hard work, hard days, hard people. It will make you hurt a little. You will not leave here bright eyed and bushy tailed unless you're a little nuts yourself.

So, yeah.

It works.

But not without great cost.

[myresponsibility]

Then I guess I could play. You're gonna have to walk me through the rules, though.

[private]

[semifreakingnormal]

You got hurt?

[semifreakingnormal]

Yeah, no problem. It's like hockey, but with the sticks in the air. And no ice. So like...field hockey. I guess.

[private]

[megamind]

Everyone here gets hurt eventually.

[myresponsibility]

So, when I said I was never really that into sports? I mean like, that means basically nothing to me.

[private]

[semifreakingnormal]

So what, that's it, it works but it sucks? That's crap.

[semifreakingnormal]

[He's laughing, but at least it's good natured!] Okay, okay. Comes to the CES, I'll show you.

[private]

[megamind]

Look.

I'm not the right person to talk about this when I have had two inmate relationships and one has vanished off the barge into the warp to be dead and the other is in a coma right now.

It's--

It's hard. It's fun sometimes. You'll form strong bonds if you know what's good for you. But it'll hurt, because they're going to get hurt too.

[ a beat ]

Man, I have gotten to be a huge downer.

[private]

[semifreakingnormal]

People don't always have to get hurt. [Actual true alpha scott mccall peeking through!] You can protect them, you can make things better.

...Otherwise, what's the point.

[private]

[megamind]

[ Megamind just smiles a little, and says: ]

Just-- hold on to that thought, okay? Long as you can. Boat still needs heroes.

[ Megamind's not sure he qualifies, anymore. ]

[private]

[semifreakingnormal]

I'm not a hero. I'm just - jeez, I'm just a kid. [That's why he's here, because he can't do all the crazy shit. Or he doesn't think he can.]
