"Today, Sue Storm has announced…"
DP:"Pfft. She's so totally got fake boobs. Look at them, they're too perfect… Damnit, she's hot… Why are the invisible ones always hot?"
Click.
"E.T Phone Home…"
DP:"Gay. No, I didn't mean it like that! I'm not homophobic, Joe… am I?"
Click.
"Spider-Man has done it again! This time saving the life of…"
DP:"I so totally got my costume first! Look at that crappy stitching! And the colour always gets darker every issue! How can people say I look like him…?"
RING. RING.
DP:"Yeeeellow?"
Client:"Hello? Is this Deadpool?"
DP:"No, this is Thor."
Client:"Thor?"
DP:"That's right, Thor. Y'know, turns green when he's angry."
Client:"Umm… That's The Hulk."
DP:"It is?"
Client:"Yeah."
DP: "Oh. How did Thor get his powers?"
Client: "Isn't he a God?"
DP: "Really? I just thought he was on steroids and had to talk like Macbeth."
Client: "Is this Deadpool or not?!"
DP: "Do I owe you money?"
Client: "No."
DP: "Do I owe you a body part?"
Client: "What!? No!"
DP: "Do you kill me later?"
Client: "I… no?"
DP: "Great! Yeah, this is Deadpool."
Client: "I hear you… you kill people?"
DP: "Sir, I am a baker!"
Client: "… No, really, do you kill people?"
DP: "Well, I sure do make a KILLER cupcake!"
[Deadpool shows a thumbs up.]
DP: "…"
Client: "… Are you still there?
DP: "Yeah. So what did you need, anyway?
Client: "I have a job for you."
DP: "I got a job, thanks. I'm a mercenary."
Client: "… That's what I mean. I want you to get rid of someone."
DP: "Who?"
Client: "…"
DP: "Oh, HIM!"
Client: "I haven't told you yet…"
DP: "Weren't those periods so the reader wouldn't know who it was?"
Client: "What periods? Reader?"
DP: "Nevermind. So who?"
Client: "Mister Fantastic."
DP: "Ooh, wowzers. How much?"
Client: "£500,000."
DP: "You're cold."
Client: "£750,000?"
DP: "Ooh, so close. Bob Barker would so be owning you by now."
Client: "Not a Million…"
DP: "DING DING DING, we have a winner."
Client: "But… A million dollars?!"
DP: "Unless you're in Turkey."
Client: "It's only one kill!"
DP: "The rock-dude is usually quite an obstacle. Plus, he hits me harder 'cause I never understand a thing he's saying. I mean, who does? It's just deep gutteral sounds that with the help of a translator can maybe make out some singular letters."
Client: "Yeah, but…"
DP: "Then there's Sue Storm. If she got in the way – and she would – I have to wreck her pretty face, and I'm not prepared to make her a paper bag job yet… I'd probably get some minutes alone with her though…"
Client: "But whe-"
DP: "Oh, and don't even get me started on Johnny whats-his-name. He ALWAYS talks. He never stops! I mean, why can't he just shut up and let the other person speak for a little bit…?! Note the hypocritical reference."
Client: "… Fair enough. Deal."
DP: "Great!… How do you kill a guy made of rubber…?"
Client: "I don't know?"
DP: "Then I have nothing more to say to you! Good day, sir!"|
Client: "…"
DP: "…"
Client: "Aren't you gonna hang up?"
DP: "You called me."
Client: "So?"
DP: "You're paying for this."
Client: "So I should hang up then?"
DP: "Unless you wanna talk… So… how was school?"
Client: "…"
DP: "Bastard hung up on me!"
Client: "I haven't hung up…"
DP: "Oh…"
Click.
"Save the cheerleader, save the world."
DP: "X-Men copycats… They haven't even got a guy with lasers from his eyes…"
Client: "Who?"
DP: "I'm watching Heroes."
Client: "Oh."
DP: "That power would so totally rock. Lasers from your eyes… maybe adamantium swords from the arms, and teleporting… Except then my mouth would have to be sewn shut…"
Client: "Huh?"
DP: "Nevermind."
