Hey, not too shabby.

[theskyenceguy]

Mm. Isn't science beautiful?

[as the scarecrow test driver falls out of the car and starts vomiting up straw]

[iamironman]

I am a fan, yes.

[...ignores that and goes to poke at the engine] You could make it go faster.

[theskyenceguy]

Speed isn't really the point of this exercise.

[iamironman]

So? Faster's better.

[theskyenceguy]

That would burn through my bio-fuel way more quickly.

[iamironman]

Not if you make it more efficient.

[theskyenceguy]

Hey, give me a break. I didn't exactly plan on making an engine from scratch today.

[iamironman]

Hey, no, don't get me wrong, this is really solid work.

[iamironman]

I just think it could be a little cooler.

[theskyenceguy]

...You're one of those.

[iamironman]

Yeah?

[theskyenceguy]

The kind of guy who likes big, shiny motorcycles and expensive cars and noisy explosions.

[iamironman]

Oh, yeah, that's definitely true. I thought you were going to say something mean.

[theskyenceguy]

...That was something mean.

[iamironman]

I've been called worse, sweetheart.
