You know what this place really needs?

Screwdriver.

[_superdork_]

No, looking beyond mere menial tools to the well-being of humanity.

[its_the_mask]

By your foot.

[_superdork_]

A symbol not to strike fear into men's hearts, but to inspire them onwards, to nurture them in their hour of need.

Superboy.

Screwdriver.

[_superdork_]

Don't you listen? This is a symbol that's going to speak to the hearts of millions, not just the technical geeks.

[its_the_mask]

I need the screwdriver.

[_superdork_]

Just listen to you. It's all about you -- your needs. What about thinking about the greater good for a change?

[_superdork_]

Anyway, back to me. You want to know what I think this place needs?

I mean, bat-signal, seriously. Who's really scared of bats? Not hardened criminals. Batman, on the other hand ... yeah, he's scary. But it's not a Batman signal. So how about replacing it with something more functional?

[its_the_mask]

Like what?

[_superdork_]

[its_the_mask]

No coffee signal.

[_superdork_]

-- but why not?
