Joey: Okay, so the HHL’s strongest member has been corrupted by the Great Adversary from Kiln’s past.
Alex: Yup.
Joey: And the HHL won’t be able to hold them for long.
Alex: Correct.
Joey: And the world is in danger, and Gothwitch is the monster’s first target, and Roddy’s probably wanted for trespassing and kidnapping, and the HHL is probably gunning for all of us right now, and Mette is freaking out and so is Kiln (though for different reasons).
Alex: Uh-huh.
Joey: And we missed out on the chicken tendies.
Alex: You got it.
Joey: Okay. I just wanted to be sure I was aware of all the aspects of the terrible situation we’re in.
Alex: You’re still in a super-gorilla body.
Joey: Goddammit.

Joey: But, in all honesty, man, I’m sorry Powertronic turned out to be a gutless wonder.

Joey: How so?
Roddy: Well now, instead of just being my best friend, you can be my idol, too!
Joey: Goddammit.
