Quotes
-
The Monarch : [narrates] So what's all this crap about levels? Level 10, Level 4, Level Whatever? It's not that confusing. EMA Level means Equally Matched Aggression Level. It all started with, that's right, the original Dr Venture. See, fifty years ago, there was this freshman villain called Turnbuckle. No fancy car, no weapons. No clue, right? He shows up at the Venture Compound and snatches Rusty from his playpen or whatever, and demands a fight.
Action Man : Step away from the boy.
Turnbuckle : [gets into a stance] You face Turnbuckle! My punch is devastating!
Action Man : Step the fuck away from the boy!
The Monarch : [narrates] The guy puts up his dukes like a total douche, so the Action Man, because he's a full-on psycho, pistol-whips him into the ground like a tentpole. And then this Turnbuckle, he looks up and says...
Turnbuckle : Kiss my ass!
[Action Man turns around and shoots]
The Monarch : [narrates] Click! Takes one right in the brain. Not equal. So they came up with this system. If you have huge balls, a deadly partner, armed headquarters, a huge henchman army and a flying car, you're like a Level 9 or 10. If you just have a sidekick and enough change to ride the New Jersey Pass train, you're a 4. Guess who's a 4?
