Well, well, what is this little beauty doing here? And all made up for me? I even see some handwriting I know. Guess I’m honored to join this little club. Normally I would say something this intricate could only come from the mind of a Mr. Stark, but I see no concealed weaponry or electricity here. I may have to find the clown who left this on my

Nope.

[takehisbird]

[Justin has to adjust his glasses to read the scribble.]

Well, I don't think kindergarteners would be well versed in the weapons market.

[cowboy_newsie]

Reporter, actually, so excuse yourself.

[takehisbird]

As soon as I see your press card, I'd be more than glad to do that.

[noironman]

Why no, I've never heard it at all.

[takehisbird]

[Oh, he'd know that writing anywhere.]

Now, now, Anthony, don't be shy. Did you just get one of these, or have you been keeping a little secret from your friendly competitors?

[noironman]

I'm afraid it was just you that was locked out of the exclusive little club. It's probably because you're only now starting to make a dent in the market.

[takehisbird]

Well, I'm thrilled to be initiated now, Anthony. Got any tips for a new member?

[sideshowboss]

Hammer, hm? I suppose you were due to turn up here eventually.

[takehisbird]

You think so? Why's that, er..? [He may or may not be playing dumb as to if he knows this is Osborn or not.]

[sideshowboss]

[ A slight pause. ] Osborn. Maybe you've heard of me.

[takehisbird]

[Oh crap, don't piss him off.]

Ah. Norman. Sure have, of course. Lots of things, recently, in fact.

[redshards]

Not really. Are you a movie star?

[takehisbird]

Not quite, sweetheart. [Maybe he'd have a biopic someday, but ah... let's not get ahead.] I'm an industrialist.

[redshards]

Don't call me sweetheart! I have a name. It's Sara.

What do you industrialize?

[takehisbird]

I'm in the weapons and arms business, Miss Sara.

[enigmaestro]

You're looking for an explanation, yet you're not asking the right questions. How nonsensical, like having a Wall as a Street.

[takehisbird]

Not specific enough for you, then?

[enigmaestro]

Quite the opposite, actually, but I haven't the patience to play your shepherd through each and every step. Where's the fun in that?

[takehisbird]

Fine, allow me to be direct: Where the hell did these things come from?
