[Retired crimefighters reminisce about the good old days.]

Laurie Juspeczyk:
Hey, you remember that guy? The one who pretended to be a supervillain so he could get beaten up?
-
Dan Dreiberg:
Oh, You mean Captain Carnage. Ha ha ha! He was one for the books.
-
Laurie:
You're telling me! I remember, I caught him coming out of this jeweller's. I didn't know what his racket was. I start hitting him and I think "Jeez! He's breathing funny! Does he have asthma?
-
Dan:
Ha Ha Ha. He tried that with me, only I'd heard about him, so I just walked away. He follows me down the street… broad daylight, right? He's saying "PUNISH me!" I'm saying "No! Get lost!"
-
Laurie:
Ha Ha Ha. What ever happened to him?
-
Dan:
Well, he pulled it on Rorschach, and Rorschach dropped him down an elevator shaft.
-
Laurie:
PHAAA HA HA HA! Oh, God, I'm sorry, that isn't funny, Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!
-
Dan:
Ha Ha Ha! No, I guess it's not... It's a little funny...
-
Laurie:
Ahuh. Ahuhuhuh...Jeez, y'know, that felt good. There don't seem to be that many laughs around these days.
-
Dan:
Well, what do you expect? The Comedian is dead.
