Invisible Boy : [after becoming invisible for a moment and reappearing naked] I'm invisible. Can you see me?
The Blue Raja , The Shoveller , Mr. Furious , The Sphinx , The Bowler , The Spleen : Yes!
Mr. Furious : Wow.
The Blue Raja : Two hands there, son.

The Spleen : Why are you guys always dissing me? It hurts my feelings. I'm a superhero too. I have powers.
Invisible Boy : Really? Like what?
The Spleen : So glad you asked. Excuse me. Excuse me. Excuse me. Well, it all started when I was just 13 years of age. One day, while walking with some friends, I accidentally cut the cheese. Well, in my adolescent awkwardness, I blamed it on an old gypsy woman who happened to be passing by. BIG MISTAKE! The gypsy woman placed a curse upon my head. Because I smelled it, she decreed I would forevermore BE HE WHO DEALT IT!

The Shoveller : And what do you call this?
Dr. Heller : Careful, careful, that's a Blame Thrower!
The Shoveller : A Blame Thrower? Oops.

The Shoveller : Oh, I'm sorry!
[Suddenly the team breaks out into screaming cross-talk as they blame each other for trivia. 'I'm sorry if I smell all the time,' etc. Heller comes to their help and powers the Thrower down]
The Spleen : I'm sorry.
The Bowler : I'm sorry.
[Spleen leans over for a hug, but Bowler waves him away with an admonitory finger]
The Bowler : No, no. No. No no no. No.
The Shoveller : Doctor, you *are* a genius.
Dr. Heller : That's what the card says.

The Blue Raja : Oh, shit.
