《地心历险记2》四

 

Sean: Hey, how's it going?

 

Kalani: Well, apart from you stranding² us on this stupid island, just fine.

 

Sean: Good. Good. So, hey, I was thinking, you know, sometime we could hang out or something...if you wanted to.

 

Kalani: I have a feeling that your idea of fun and my idea of fun are two very different things.

 

Sean: I don’t know. What do you like doing on the weekends?

 

Kalani: Collect and label mollusks.

 

Sean: No way! Me too. I'm way into mollusks.

 

Kalani: Really?

 

Sean: Yeah.

 

Kalani: Well, which one's your favorite? Mine's the Mxyzptlk snail⁴.

 

Sean: You're not gonna believe me, but that's my favorite too.

 

Kalani: I just made that up. Mxyzptlk isn't a snail. It's one of Superman's archenemies.

 

Hank: Way to slay⁵ the heart.

 

Sean: Whatever.

 

Hank: Getting the attention of a woman is one of the hardest things to do.

 

Sean: All right. So, what do I do, Casanova?

 

Hank: I been waiting a long time to have this talk with you, buddy⁶. There are three things you need to know about understanding girls. Number One: Don't follow your instincts. Any other area in life, instincts will get you there. Not with women. So whatever you think you should do, do the opposite. Number Two: You need to be open, sensitive. Women don't want a man just because he's big and strong and has abs like mine. No. They want a thinker, they want a feeler. They want someone who can understand them. Women want a man who is in touch with his most inner emotions. And the third thing is the most important. It's something that women have responded to for thousands of years.

 

Sean: Well, tell me.

 

Hank: You have got to do this.

 

Sean: What is that?

 

Hank: That is the pec pop of love. Now go on and throw a berry.

 

Sean: No.

 

Hank: Go on and throw a berry. There's some behind you. Grab one and throw it. Don't be afraid, they're not gonna bite. Grab a berry. Boom. Go ahead, grab a bunch. Rapid-fire, now.

 

Sean: I'm not doing rapid-fire.

 

Hank: They will not stop until you feed them.

 

Sean: Feed them? No.

 

Hank: Feed them. They're hungry.

 

Gabato: I'll feed them.

 

Hank: Attaboy. Come get some.

 

Gabato: Okay, you ready? Ready? Here we go. Ooh. Ooh. Ooh. Ooh. Ooh. Ooh. Ooh. Ooh. Ooh. Ooh. Ooh. Ooh. Ooh.

 

Sean: Stop.

 

Gabato: OK. Ready? This one's special.

 

Hank: Make this one count.

 

Gabato: Mmm. No way, that's awesome⁷.

 

Sean: Stop encouraging him.

 

Gabato: It's a gift.

 

Hank: It is a gift.

 

Gabato: He has a gift.
