Rant – Let’s Take A Call
Supreme Overlord: In your cases, the Supreme Judge, Jury, and Executioner!
Rod: ah……ah…….ah……
Barry: (whispers to Rod) What do we do now?
Rod: (whispering) Think fast and talk faster!
Barry: Your Supremeness, to what do we owe this pleasure?
Supreme Overlord: Oh, it will be MY pleasure when I deal with you two idiots personally!
Barry: (whispering) I TOLD you we were going to get in trouble.
Rod: (whispering) But you said it would be with the planet’s authorities, not HER!
Barry: (whispering) No, I said we’d get in trouble, period. You are the one that didn’t think she’d find out.
Rod: (whispering) I know, I know, I KNOW!
Barry: But your Supreme Greatness! We are spreading the word of your majesty!
Supreme Overlord: Who do you think you are talking to? I know what you two are doing and WHY!
Barry: But Your Greatness…….
Supreme Overlord: Don’t “Your Greatness” me, pipsqueak! You are both doing this over your crush on an Earth woman………..AN EARTH WOMAN!!!
Rod: (whispering) We are so DEAD!
Barry: (whispering) And what was your first clue?
Rod: Cut the feed!
Show Producer: We can’t. Something has taken over the system.
Rod: (whispering) Now what?
Barry: (whispering) I’ve got it! I remember what humans do when things like this happen on live television.
Rod: (whispering) I’ve got a bad feeling about this.
