The Break In Put it down, now! Lauren, you and Sophie ok? Yeah, were ok. Peter? If he's the side of beef, he'll be fine, just give him a minute. You're a thief? Girls gotta make a living. Thank God. First time I ever heard that one. I was expecting someone else. Guess it wasn't the pizza delivery guy. We're just a little tense right now. You have good taste, french, 1920, attributed to chitaras. Whoever that is? Oh, so, you liked it cause it was shiny. No, because its the egyptian goddess Baust, the godess who comprehends all other godesses, the eye of rah, protector, avenger, destroyer, giver of life who lives forever. Listen, I'd love to hang and discuss art, but I gotta jet. By the way, love your show.

First Date How did you find me? Wasn't hard. The question is why? Well, you know who I am, where I live, so I figured I better find out who I'm dealing with incase your looking to hurt me. So, you tracked me down, what do you think. Too early to tell. How does miss eyes only like being married to a guy on everyones hit list? Lauren's not my wife. Girlfriend? One of my sources, her husband was murdered by a man named Edgar Son'Risa. I caught your hack, he's satans lapdog or something. So, whats your shot in all this? Being a famous underground pirate cyberjournalist can't be much of a payday. My folks were loaded. So what, you like the sound of your own voice. Look around at all this, built by people who got up every morning and worked hard to make a better life. Then the pulse happened. Everyone got scared. They blinked, and turned over the store to a bunch of thugs that were happy to take it off there hands. Overnight, goverment, police, everything that had been created to protect them, turned against them. So, you miss the good ol'e days, even though there were poor people who died from diseases even though they didn't need to, and rich people who spent obsene amounts of money redecorating the house to match the cat, those good old days. Even if they took it for granted they had a choice, now they dont. So, what are you going to do about it. Something. Personally, I'm more interested in going fast on my motorcycle than worring about stuff I can't do anything about. If you accept the way things are, then your an active participant in making them worse. Is the social studies class over with for today.

Brass Tacks You ever notice how cats always seem to turn up around dinner time? I won't be staying. I'm not a half bad cook. Like following me around and pestering the people I work with wasn't bad enough. It was open. You got alot of nerve. Me, your the one that tried to rip off this place. I steal things to sell them for money, its called commerce. Some stranger sneaking into a girls apartment is just bent. Bent? Bent! I left you a present. Am I supposed to be grateful? That wouldn't be inapproprate. How am I supposed to sleep there again knowing that some stranger has probably touched everything I own. Well, if your that nervous, then your welcome to stay here. Listen guy we've been through this. Peter relax. This is a tactical exposure I go on record as not liking. Peter, do me a favor and look in on Lauren and Sophie for me. Send me the bill for this by the way. Look, if I made you nervous, unconfortable, or creeped you out. Yes on all counts. Then I'm sorry, that wasn't my intention. I had to see you. You would think that a guy who has taken on the job of saving the world would have a few more important things to do than trapse around after some girl. I haven't been able to get you off my mind. You need to get out more. Come here, I want to show you something. American, neo classic, gold leaf detail, late 1800s, I could probably fence it for two or three grand. No, I ment this. Probably the most singulary beautiful face I've ever seen. Expensive gifts, suprise late night visits, over the top flattery, do you always come on this strong. Only when I meet someone that I have to know everything about... And now I think I know pretty much everything. Suppose I could help you locate the other ones? The other ones? The other ones like you. You lost me? Comeone Max, first I watch you take out a 250 lb ex-cop bodyguard without breaking a sweat. Girls kick ass, says so on a t-shirt. Then I watch you dive head first out a window like your rocky the flying squirrel, then I found this in your apartment. You went thorugh my stuff. They used to sell this stuff in health food stores as an energy booster, its also a neurotransmitter sometimes used in homeothopy to control seisures. Then the lightbulb went off. I got an anamyous report a few years ago about a covert genetics lab in the wyoming mountians. I don't know what kind of game your playing here, but I'm out because your a whack job. I located a med tech that claimed to work on something called Project Manticore, which was using recombinant DNA to produce a superior human, a warrior, an advanced infantry soldier. Not that I don't enjoy a good urban legend every now and then, but what does any of this have to do with me? The barcode on your neck Max, I know who you are, and who your running from. There were a couple dozen of these transgenic kids and in may of 09, a couple months before the pulse, twelve of them escaped. Twelve? I know you're one of those kids Max.

Chess Match Finally. She beats the retreat and faces the sicilian gambit. Check. Nope. Its not check mate, can't be. Fraid so. Ok, so, that's four games to you? Five. Right, five... Isn't it against the superhero code to use your powers to take advantage of we mere mortals? Yeah, and I'm not done taking advantage either. There's a stunt contenst at Crash tonight. Thinking about pulling a Linda Blair, riding my bike up on the ceiling or something. Wanna come? No thanks. Ahh, I forgot, no fun for Logan Cale, world's coming to an end, fight the power, protect the downtrodded, blah blah, woof woof, cya.

Dead Man See that, don't even trying telling me that its 'all good'. All the time. That is evil, strait up. Yes its evil. Wait, so, if its, 'all good all the time', and you adknowledge that what just happened is evil, then, aren't you sort of saying that evil is good. Yes, now you overstand, you have to forgive evil, alright, or love in spite of evil. You need to put down the swiff, because its clouding your mind. I'm going to have to more or less agree with Original Cindy on this one Herbal, and I ain't no stranger to stoner logic, but the guy looked pretty damn dead.

Working With Normal Ah, Ah, Ah. Little late. I was on call. Well, I want you on call here. What's the difference if I'm on call here or deployed in the field? More like deployed in bed. Did you sleep? I don't 'sleep'. Theo asked me to pick his up too. And Theo can't pick up his own check cause... He's sick. Ahh, for a change. You tell Theo, that if hes not in tomorrow then he can start looking for another job. I don't know how to break this to you Normal, but we're all looking for another job.

Lydecker's Addiction I'm an alcholic and my name is Don. Hi Don. I'm new in town and I have some business here, I've been coming to this meeting for the past couple weeks. I've listened to a few of you get up here and tell your stories, so now its my turn. Drinking damn near destroyed my life. I woke up one morning, took a look around, I was lying on the floor. I decided to never touch another drop, been sober ever since. I hear alot of you talk about taking things one day at a time. As far as I'm concerned, that's a copout. You make a decision and you take charge of your life. You don't need a higher power to help you out. You don't need a sponsor. What you need is strength of mind, willpower and character. Alchaolism is not a disease, its a failing. You have turned it into a church, you worship at the altar of self pity. I come to these rooms for one reason, to remember what I don't want to become. Helpless, Impotent, Weak. Thank You.

Normal Knows How To Insult Alright Idiots, lets get back to work. What did you just call me? I just called you and the rest of your colleagues here idiots. Its from the greek idiotaias as in... One who is afflicted by Idiocy. A feeble minded person having a mental age not exceeding three years. Who do you think you are talking to us like that? Your boss, now, bip, bip, bip. I want an apology. Is that right? Now. Alright, perhaps I was unduly harsh in calling you people idiots. When in fact, your morons, from the greek morose. As in, feeble minded or mental defective having an age between eight and twelve. Capable of doing menial tasks under supervision. Now get out of my sight, or you're all fired.

Max Tellin' The Truth Hot run, 46 Ukalid. 46 Ukalid has been incarcerated... solicitation of a minor. Oh, well, I'll return that to sender. Well, well, well... Someone who is two hours late for work looks like they were a dirty little party girl last night, good god girl look at your eyes. What have you been drinking, gasoline? I had to have radical emergency amateur brain surgery to remove a nanochip from my cerebellum before I stroked out from a neurochemical overload. This is all one great big joke to you isnt it. Your late one more time missy, your fired. Get some eye drops! How about you leave her alone, maybe she don't feel so hot. Yeah, well, ingesting petroleum products will do that every time.
