The first 200 lines.
Target is Doc Seismic.
Huh?
We're going to college together.
I guess I get to keep my superhero boyfriend after all.
The Immortal's now in charge.
We are down, Houston.
If a single sequid fuses with
one of your people, they will rise up as one.
Finally, some action!
I always wanted to be my dad.
What if that happens?
It's been an honor, sir.
I'm better.
- I'm stronger. I'm ready. - No, you're not.
I'll work for you,
just put me back out there.
For some of you,
it probably seemed like this day would never come.
For others,
it came far too quickly.
Maybe you're even wondering if you're ready for this.
For what comes next.
You are. I look out at this class
and I see hope.
I see a bright new world with a special place
for each and every one of you. You may not know yet...
Mark's not seriously gonna miss his own graduation, is he?
He's just running a little late.
This is why I quit superheroing.
I mean, you only get to say goodbye to high school once.
It needs to be enjoyed.
Appreciated. Savored.
He'll be here. He promised.
Look at you. You're thieves! Rapists!
Criminals.
All so ignorant of your
true crimes against terra therma.
What is it with you and historical monuments? S... Uh,
Professor Seismic, right?
Doc Seismic.
I never taught.
Didn't you fall into, like, a huge pool of lava?
I fell into a new realm of understanding.
Do you know what this obscene
phallus is constructed from?
He asked, expecting some idiotic answer.
Uh...
Granite stolen from the Earth.
Iron ripped from her loins.
Bricks made of the clay she bleeds
from humanity's endless ruinations.
Isn't that most buildings?
You can keep the ones made of wood.
Everything else, we're taking back.
Ha!
Ah!
I made a few new friends
during my time underground.
Meet my Magmanites.
I liked you better when you just hated presidents.
As you find your place in the world,
know that it won't always be easy.
Sometimes, life hits you with everything it's got.
Huh?
The Earth reclaims her stolen flesh.
When you find yourself
in the shadow of adversity, do not be afraid.
For without adversity,
there can be no triumph.
Without testing your limits,
you will never know how strong you truly are.
You're running out of time, kid.
I know.
Aah!
See? Even your greatest heroes are useless
against the power of Doc...
Nice save, Mark.
Would've been better if you had stopped him before he destroyed
another one of America's greatest treasures.
It's not destroyed.
I could, you know, I could try pushing it back out
- to, you know... - Do not do that.
We'll take it from here.
As the great
Abraham Lincoln once said,
"Whatever you are, be a good one."
Did he, though? Did he really say that?
Doesn't sound very Lincoln-y.
So, all I missed were the
made-up inspirational quotes? Cool.
Hey there, hero. Good timing.
- Mm. - Mm.
Is that... sulfur?
Oh, man, wait till I tell you about this guy.
He's a case against higher education.
Amber Justine Bennett.
Yeah!
William Francis Clockwell.
I'd say it's been fun, but, you know...
high school.
Markus Sebastian Grayson.
Let's go, Markus.
Samantha Eve Wilkins.
Markus Sebastian?
I thought we weren't keeping secrets from each other anymore.
Some secrets should never
be revealed... Justine.
Everyone, please rise.
Congratulations, graduates.
Yeah!
Ooh, crap.
Remember, be bold,
be original, be...
I don't know. I don't feel any different.
It's graduating high school, not losing your virginity.
Amber, summer plans. Go.
Nothing but swimming pools and sleeping late
for two whole months.
I mean...
on the weekends, maybe.
I'm at the community center
Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Oh, and did I tell you guys I'm volunteering
for the Katie Giles campaign?
That's your idea of a summer vacation?
Hey, Giles is the real deal.
Do you even know your state comptroller?
I don't even know what a state comptroller is, but you do you.
I'm gonna find the trashiest reality show
I've never heard of and binge every episode twice.
Eve, please tell Amber how to properly vay-cay.
I'm, uh, gonna go help finish the reconstruction,
up in Chicago.
Sorry, I didn't mean to make that
weird for you or...
No, that's... that's amazing.
Do you ever miss punching bad guys in the face?
Seems cathartic.
Right now, I'm just happy helping people.
Speaking of...
God, I love having superhero friends.
I mean Eve, specifically.
Mark won't even take me flying anymore. Boo. Hiss.
To graduation and new beginnings.
Mark?
I'm on call. Cecil might need me.
You're always on call now.
- That's the job. - It's all right.
Here.
What's this?
Virgin mai tai.
Very funny.
Cheers, guys.
To the best summer ever.
I'm telling you, this Martian problem
isn't gonna fix itself.
They were gonna execute us.
We-we barely got off that rock alive.
Come on. They were trying to save their planet.
From their own slaves.
If those sequids ever take over, Earth is next.
We need to strike first.
Send up that Invincible guy again.
You're talking about starting an interplanetary war.
Hm... Livingston?
Uh... What-what-what? Well, what-what makes you
think I know anything about Martians?
Is that how you say it... Martians?
I, um, I have to visit... the urination chamber.
Get a grip. Get a grip.
You are a smart Earth astronaut.
Say, uh, everything okay, Rus?
Fine. Everything... everything's okay, yeah.
Sorry, how long have you been standing there?
Not that it matters, because I have nothing to hide.
Well, I, uh, l-listen, son,
I know things haven't been easy since Mars.
After what you all went through up there,
no one can blame you for being a little, uh...
Uh... not yourself.
But it's been months, and quite frankly, Livingston,
this is the U.S. Space Administration,
not therapy.
Oh, God. No.
Well, I-I don't know how else to say this...
Please don't kill me!
What?
Spare me! I won't fail you again.
I swear on my three-chambered heart.
Just please do not stab all three of them.
Uh, Christ on a Christmas tree.
No one's killing anybody.
But effective immediately, you're taking a temporary leave
till you can get your head on straight.
Holy shit.
Um...
Whew. There.
Saved you some work.
What the hell do you think you're doing?
You scared the piss out of my entire crew.
