Phoebe walks into Max's Lair, as he works on a rocket.

Phoebe: Max! Max, I'm trying to study.

Max: What?

Phoebe: I'm trying to study!

Max: Hold on.

Max stops working and looks at Phoebe.

Max: What about pickles?

Phoebe: No pickles. You're making too much noise, and I can't study for my class Math Bowl.

Max: The Math Bowl? Is that where you flush away any chance of having a social life?

Phoebe: Says the guy who spends all his time alone in his layer.

Max: I'm too busy for friends.

Dr. Colosso: So, our dance parties mean nothing?

Max: In case you haven't noticed, I'm trying to launch the Max 10 into the stratosphere.

Phoebe: Well, my Math Bowl is more important.

Max: Rocket is.

Phoebe: Math bowl.

Max: Rocket.

Phoebe: Math bowl.

Max: Rocket. Now go study with your boyfriend, Y/N.

Phoebe gets offended and without hesitation Phoebe pushes a button, launching the rocket prematurely.

Max: My baby. I wanted to push that button.

Phoebe: You still can. It just won't do anything.

Phoebe then walks out.

The next day, everyone is having breakfast as Nora pulls her cereal and a prize comes out.

Nora: Yay, I got the prize.

Billy zooms in and takes it.

Billy: You snooze, you lose.

Nora uses her heat vision on Billy's hand.

Billy: Ow!

Nora takes the prize back.

Nora: You take, you bake.

Barb then walks over.

Barb: Zap your brother, prize goes to mother.

Barb takes the prize from Nora.

Barb: Sweet. I always wanted a glow-in-the-dark... Whatever this is.

Hank then enters.

Hank: Unbelievable. This is the sixth day in a row my newspaper's missing. Some miscreant is stealing it.

Nora: What's a miscreant?

Billy: What's a newspaper?

Hank: You know, you move to a nice suburb far away from Metroburg, you'd think you wouldn't have to fight crime anymore.

Barb: You don't, Hank. You're a retired superhero, remember?

Hank: Yeah, well, crime hasn't retired. It starts with my newspaper, but then it's your expensive jewelry.

Barb: Since when do I have expensive jewelry?

Hank: Oh, so now I'm the bad guy.

Phoebe walks in along with Max.
