|
|
We're live from downtown where Hydrangea has just caught Snake in the midst of an armed robbery. Hydrangea, any comments?
|
|
I'm just doing my part to help make Springfield a cleaner place.
|
|
Yo, lady, watch the thorns. That's like police brutality.
|
|
Police brutality?! We can't be too careful these days. Better let him down, Hydrangea.
|
|
I can't believe that worked. So long, suckers. *starts running*
|
|
Aw, jeez, he's getting away. Catch him, Hydrangea! Use all the police brutality you want!
|
|
I'm on it. *uses superpowers*
|
|
What the?! A giant Venus flytrap?! Eaaggh! *gets eaten*
|
|
Whoa, what did you do with him?
|
|
It's best you don't know.
|
|
Okay, I'm pretty good at not knowing.

Pt. 2
| After tapping on Hydrangea's exclamation mark
|
|
Whenever Hydrangea uses super plants to thwart criminals she's praised as a hero. When my nuclear radiation creates one, everyone casts me as a villain!
|
|
You're right, sir. It's a complete double standard.
|
|
I wonder… Is there any way to leverage Hydrangea's unique talents to our benefit?
|
|
|
I'm not sure. Given your reputation as a tyrant.
|
|
A tyrant? Who said I'm a tyrant?
|
|
Certainly not me! Just…every other person in Springfield.
|
|
Yes, well, all the more reason to enlist a superhero to our ranks. Go. Make it happen.
|
|
*sigh* A boring desk job sounds so wonderful to me now.

Pt. 3
| After tapping on Hydrangea's exclamation mark
|
|
|
Thank you for agreeing to meet with me, Hydrangea. I find myself in need of your services.
|
|
|
Look, I'll tell you what I tell everyone. I cannot grow medical mari—
|
|
|
No, no. You misunderstand. I'm afraid there are some extremists that claim the pollution caused by my power plant is having an adverse effect on the local fauna.
|
|
|
Yeah. I'm one of them.
|
|
|
In that case, would it not be in both of our interests to come to an agreement?
|
|
|
I'm listening…

|
|
So, the next time our radiation produces another abomination; you turn it back to normal with your superpowers. No more lawsuits.
|
|
Isn't it wiser to stop the radiation leaks that cause the problem?
|
|
|
You obviously don't understand the ins and outs of nuclear energy but maybe you'll understand this. *opens suitcase full of cash*
|
|
|
You can't buy me off. In fact, now I'm going to work twice as hard to make sure you wind up behind bars.
|
|
|
Smithers! Release the hounds!
|
|
|
I did, sir, but Hydrangea has subdued them by surrounding them with calming chamomile.
|
|
|
*sigh* I cannot wait until this superhero fad is over.
