“Doctor Doom wears body armor to conceal his own mangled form, right?”

Stan

Doctor Doom wears body armor to conceal his own mangled form, right?

Brodie

Yeah.

Stan

Okay. That was me beneath the armor. The Hulk! A normal guy one minute, a rage of emotions the next, just like me when I thought about what I'd given up.

Brodie

So you created each character as a way to deal with your one big regret.

Stan

Yeah. The girl that got away. Look, do yourself a favor Brodie -- don't wait. Because all the money, all the women, even all the comic books in the world, they can't substitute for that one person.

Brodie

I don't know, all the comics in the world?

Stan

Trust me, True Believer.

Brodie Bruce Listen, not a year goes by, not a year, that I don't hear about some escalator accident involving some bastard kid which could have easily been avoided had some parent--I don't care which one--but some parent conditioned him to fear and respect that escalator! Brodie Bruce Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned for Sega. Brodie Bruce You're gonna listen to me? To something I said? Jesus, man, hasn't it become abundantly clear during the tenure of our friendship that I don't know shit? I mean, half the time I'm just talking out of my ass, or sticking my hand in it.
