Evil
Sits Down for a Moment
|
If
you are a fan of Die Fledermaus,
this is the episode for you! The City is beset with an evil supervillain
who has the power to control furniture. Unfortunately, Die Fledermaus
falls for the villain, The
Ottoman Empress, and of course she falls for him because of
his incredible style and fashion sense.
The
budding romance is snuffed out, though, when The Ottoman Empress
mentions "marriage" and the rest of the episode features
Die Fledermaus fleeing in terror of commitment.
The
next best thing in this episode is The Royal British
Tick. Soon after escaping from the clutches of the World's
Most Comfortable Chair, Tick falls about a mile and crashes through
the street and is hit by a subway, after which he speaks with
a British accent and insists on being called "Duchess."

Tickisms
The
Tick:
I
didn't realize furniture technology had made such great strides.
Rogue loveseat! You face the Tick!
Pack it in, Ottoman! You've heisted your last highboy!
Falling in love with a supervillain is trouble with a capital
Troub!
There'll be no justice of peace for you, just a piece of justice!
I'm to be addressed as Duchess!
Oh, look, Arthur! It's a completely rehabilitated villain. She's
comfortable with herself. Comfort, commitment, marriage…what do
these things have in common? The letter "C"…except for marriage.
And if people get all British when they get knocked on the head…what
do British people get? I know; comatose! Another "C"!

Arthur:
The
furniture's moving by itself…that's not supposed to happen.
I'm worried about the Tick…I don't think falling 4000 feet and
getting hit by a subway train did him any good.
Die
Fledermaus:
Hey;
wait a second…is this some kind of superhero emergency?
Keep making that mouth-music, beautiful…I'm reading you like a
cheap paperback!
I'm Die Fledermaus and the only one I'm in love with is me!
Loyal colleague, helps a lot of people, wouldn't let me fall…want's
to tie me down, force for evil…AIRPLANE!!!
If we don't put that crazy dame away…she's gonna Marry me!
