Marvelous and The Black Hole

What kind of monster would do this?

It's been a rough year.

We're all just still trying to adjust.

I'm sorry for your loss.

Sue was a really nice lady.

The mutants have us surrounded.

I knew we should've built the walls higher. But then I remembered the rocket launcher, so,

Jean blasts it through the windows and the suckers are all

like.

Didn't you vanquish the mutants

the last time I was here?

We need to talk after dinner. Yeah, but they come back from the dead. For you.

Are you okay, Sammy?

Hm. She hit a door, in the face.

Getting in trouble at school.

Hey, get back here!

I used to do roller derby and the best way to get rid of a black eye is a hot compress.

Found that stuff lying around, thought you might miss it

and wanna take it back to your house.

Thanks.

How thoughtful.

You can put it in one of my drawers.

Why are we eating Lou's express? I hate that place.

"Mm, I'm Sammy.

Everything sucks and I can't get over myself."

Ow! It burns 'cause it's true!

Shut up!

Stop it, Sammy!

You know, I've been too easy on you.

My parents used to work me hard and punish me for much less.

Dr. Klein would say

that you're mostly damaged from grandma. Oh, that idiot. What a waste of money.

You know, when I feel "meh", I work harder.

I don't have time to think or to get into trouble.

He'd call that repression.

I don't wanna have this talk right now,

but you're forcing it.

You're starting a class at the community college. Wait, what?

It's either that or camp sparrow cliff.

Summer is not a time to just sit around.

I want good grades and perfect attendance.

You mess this up and it's straight to camp.

Got it?

Good.

And so that you're extra busy,

you can take over Patricia's chores.

Yes! Patricia?

Keep a close eye on your sister.

No more games if she gets into trouble.

Let go of me!

I can't waste time policing your plebeian butt! I have a kingdom to protect!

Whatever!

I know what you really do with your nasty friends. "Oh, Jean, I need it bigger and sharper!"

I'm telling him how to forge a crossbow!

Kingdom cog sucks!

Don't do anything stupid.

I chose a spa 'cause I love the spa.

And I like helping people relax.

Smoothie drink. It's the best one on the list.

And I want the doggy daycare, because dogs are my life.

My best friend is my puppers, Mr. Max.

Dave's got passion,

and a personal connection to the business.

Good job, Dave.

Great. All right!

So, now!

Who's next?

How about our youngest entrepreneur?

Come on up here.

Good business people always have smiles. Okay, great.

I can't decide.

I mean, I'm not really into any of these.

Oh, um...

Okay.

All right, well, let's get you into it, all right? Just throw away the paper.

Throw away the list.

Throw it away, great.

Now...

Dig deep.

What is your passion

and how do we turn that passion into money?

Go big.

I guess maybe a store that sells dishes and stuff?

Okay.

It'd look like a regular shop, except you can take a bat and break everything.

Oh, and then you could like charge customers extra

if they wanted to upgrade to an ax or something-

yeah, um, I think the overhead would be really enormous.

Okay, do you have any other ideas?

A euthanasia service that comes to your door.

Okay, Sammy, I get the feeling that you're afraid.

Afraid

to go

for

that dream. What dream?

It's okay to be scared.

You can only grow by pushing yourself

beyond your comfort zone.

Thrive!

In the uncomfort zone, okay?

You have until the end of the class to figure it out.

Okay!

So!

All of your assignments

will be based upon the business that you choose.

And at the end of the semester, you will give a presentation

of your prospectus in front of a panel of judges.

Your next assignment is to find someone in your business

and interview them, all right?

Really get to know them.

Where are you going?

Taking a shit.

Try fiber.

You were grunting in there for a while.

What happened there?

Fist fight.

Three against one.

Totally beat their ass.

Looks like it.

You're bleeding.

Oh, crap!

You remind me of me when I was your age.

You wish, lady.

I wasted a lot of time being angry.

Are you a teacher or something?

No. Then get lost.

You can't smoke in here.

Come on!

Just let me go back to class! Quit whinin', we're almost there. My life is over if I get in trouble again!

Hello?

Sorry we're late. Oh, thank god you're here!

She's gonna be my assistant today.

I'm what?

Great, you can start right now! Okay, stand over there and pay attention to my cues.

No.

Or would you rather go to the admissions office? I'm sure your parents would love to get a call from them. Get over there.

What's your name? Sammy.

What?

Ah, it'll do.

Where's that pesky ball?

It's in your hair!

It's in my hair?

Now I gotcha.

This ball has been trying to get away from me, but now I've got it and it's not going anywhere.

Wait a minute.

Where'd it go?

Oh, I see it.

I see it, I see it!

You forget that ball. It is an annoying ball.

I have a story to tell you guys. Everybody huddle in close.

Long ago and far away,

the sun shined big and bright over a beautiful village.

Everyone was happy there.

But one day, an ancient evil descended upon the land.

It swallowed the sun.

It became so dark that all the flowers and trees died,

and the animals left.

I can't handle this!

It's all right, Levi.

Hang in there, because some very brave villagers

decided to band together to fight the darkness.

They gathered all the candles and lamps in the village,

to make light.

Here's a candle.

Here's a candle and lamp.

Candles and lamps for everyone.

Here we go, but aside from light,

what else do flowers and trees need to grow?

Water!

Bingo!

Using this new light,

the villagers gathered all the water they could find.

They looked for water leftover from faucet drips

and at the bottoms of buckets and even in unexpected places

like under chairs.

You see anything?

Yes! Good!

And now, welcome Sammy, our water collector.

Sammy's a little shy so let's give her some encouragement!

All right, and hand her your water drips as she goes by.

They won't bite. Here you go.

Oh, she's doing a good job.

Now.

The villagers sprinkled the water over the barren land.

Aim it at me and spray.

The trigger.

And all the plants returned.

And the creatures returned, too.

Sensing how fearless the villagers were,

the ancient evil grew weak,

and left to recover in the shadows.

The villagers knew that the evil would one day return,

but until then, we celebrate!

Don't eat it!

Sammy! What did you think of the show?

Oh, you mean my kidnapping?

I was held hostage and forced to watch some corny bullshit.

I thought you were enjoying the magic.

It's not real.

Oh, yeah? Then how did I do it?
