- Oliver: Hey, you're NeoCortex. What's wrong?
- NeoCortex: I hurt my shoulder surfing... the Internet. Funny squirrel video, fell out of my chair. I don't want to talk about it. Anyway, just sign my chart and get me out of here.
- Oliver: Oh, no problem. I just remembered something...
- NeoCortex: Yes, I do have the power to send out psychic bursts which can immobilize a villain or control their behavior. It's called neural manipulation.
- Oliver: How did you know I was...
- NeoCortex: Was gonna ask that? 'Cause I also have the power to read minds, not to mention the power of psychic communication.
- NeoCortex: [telepathically] Which is how I'm talking to you right now.
- Oliver: Oh... Okay, I'm gonna need to test out all of your powers. Why don't you go ahead and make me... I don't know, a little more adventurous and daring and "leap-before-I-looky"?
- NeoCortex: Dude, I can read your mind. You want me to make you more like your friend Kaz.
- Oliver: Fine. Let's try it this way: If you don't do it for me, I won't sign your chart. That's what we call plain old manipulation.
- NeoCortex: [telepathically] Weasel.
- Oliver: I can hear you.
- NeoCortex: [telepathically] Yeah, I know.
- NeoCortex: Fine. Let's do this thing.
- [a light blue energy wave goes from NeoCortex's forehead to Oliver's]
- Oliver: Hmm. I don't feel any different.
- [sees a wrist-mounted device]
- Oliver: I wonder what this button does.
- [he pushes the button, causing a pneumatic drill to appear on his hand]
- Oliver: Aah!
- [turns it off]
- Oliver: That was awesome!
- [Skylar has caught the flu]
- Skylar Storm: Alan, can you please get me a blanket? I'm achy, and I'm cold and I don't feel good.
- Alan Diaz: Oh, are you sick? What a coincidence, because I'm sick. I'm sick of sick people telling me they're sick!
- Skylar Storm: You're in a hospital. That's where sick people go.
- Alan Diaz: And I'm sick of it! Besides, I'm too busy to get some washed-up superhero a stupid blanket. I need to figure out how to move up in the staff rankings and get my uncle Horace to take me seriously.
- Skylar Storm: Please get me a blanket. My head is throbbing, and my stomach hurts and I don't know what to do. Oliver told me to try chicken soup,
- [zoom out to reveal Skylar is soaking her feet in soup]
- Skylar Storm: but I don't think it's helping
- Alan Diaz: Why don't you just get the blanket yourself, since you're obviously able to fly again?
- Skylar Storm: What are you talking abo...
- [she looks down and sees she is levitating]
- Skylar Storm: Are you kidding me? I'm flying again.
- [she sneezes and flies higher]
- Alan Diaz: I think your flu is causing your power of flight to return. This could be a major medical breakthrough. Tell you what, you let me take credit for this, I'll get you whatever you want.
- Skylar Storm: Well, some crackers for my foot soup would be nice.
- Alan Diaz: You got it, because if this works out, everyone will love me. Not only will I be number one in the staff rankings, but maybe my uncle Horace will take down all these signs.
- [he holds up a sign with a "no" symbol over his face with the caption "DO NOT let this boy treat you. Warning: Not a doctor."]
