Thought I’d share a fun scene from the Captain Dynamite and the Fallen Hero Chapter 3 script. Don’t worry, no major spoilers here. Enjoy!
[flash to the press conference]
CEO
Good morning everyone, and welcome! I’m Gavin Winters, CEO of CrispyFizz — everyone’s favorite snack and beverage company. We called this press conference to make a very special announcement. As you all know, the economy is down, the police force has been drastically cut, and crime is on the rise. We need heroes now more than ever, and CrispyFizz is proud to help answer the call by becoming the official corporate sponsor of Captain Dynamite! Captain, please step forward and say a few words.DYNAMITE
(forced politeness) Hello, everybody. It’s always been a great honor to serve those who need our help… And of course, we’d like to thank CrispyFizz… for their support. (awkward pause)MIGHTY
It’s easier to fight crime when you can afford to pay the bills![crowd laughs]
CEO
Thank you, Captain Dynamite. And his sidekick Guy Mighty as well! Since CrispyFizz is helping them fight crime, they’re returning the favor by helping us fight hunger and thirst! And look, who’s coming this way?[drumroll]
CEO
