Listen, ah, [ he makes a small gesture with his hands to buy himself some time. what did this gurl call herself again? she'd introduced herself, sure, but he'd not been paying attention, because he just didn't care. ] mun lady, keep your plans to yourself, because I don't have time for your little games.

I'm a very busy man. I have the gurls to worry about and then, of course, there's the world! [ nods his head for emphasis as he looks aside. ] I'm trying to save it, you know, ... [ sets a finger to his lips. ] oh, Wait, you should know this, because you'd just watched the movie! Again!

[ sighs, rubbing his temples. ] Just go bother somebody else. I don't have time for you. I have to find Lucy.

Mister Scarf─ [ grabs the tail of his scarf and deadpan. oh!, these little childrens... ] That's wonderful, really, [ he doesn't believe her. ] I bet your dollies feel real safe.

Menma doesn't have any dolls anymore. [ Though the pout suggests that she wouldn't mind dolls, by any means. ] But Menma does have pets! On Jin-tan's video game. One of them Menma named Popo!

[ Prepare to have whatever tail of his scarf that he isn't holding grasped at, and then lifted up and down in a fluttering motion as she giggles. ]

What super powers does Mister Scarf have?

[notsobadtothebone]

No, well, [ and he'll feign interest. ] isn't that a shame. [ but, no, it's not. he doesn't care. ] ... [ lifts a brow, however, at the mention of a virtual pet. ] You have a pet in a video game? Now that, that's not a half bad idea.

Hey. HeyHeyHey! Cut that out. Now! [ swats at her hand and takes a few steps back. ] What do you think you are doing? This isn't a play thing for you to... play with!

First of all, little girl, let's get one thing straight. It is not Mister Scarf. Second of all, I don't have super powers. I don't need them. I'm a criminal mastermind. [ toots his own horn, toot toot. ] and I have a bunch of minions and gadgets and gizmos at my disposal, so I don't need at fancy shmancy super powers.

[ With every step that he takes backward, she takes another forward, hands outstretched in attempt to recapture his scarf. ]

Mister Scarf is a bad guy? [ Blink blink. Because if he isn't going to give her a replacement name, what is she to call him? Besides, it fits, doesn't it? She tugs lightly at his scarf, pouting a little now. ] Menma thought you said you were saving the world.

Bad guys can't save the world, can they?

[ And without allowing him time to answer. ]

Menma wants to know what kind of gadgets!

[notsobadtothebone]

... [ uhm. he looks back and forth as he continues backpedaling. what is with this little gurl. she's got to be broken or something. while he's too preoccupied trying to figure out what her "deal" might be he trips over himself and falls onto his butt. darnit. blinks, looking up at her. ] Yes. Sometimes. [ ... ] And what did I say about calling me Mister Scarf? You ears, they aren't full of the wax, are they? [ stares at her, though she seems to distract herself with his scarf again. he sighs. he hadn't really wanted to introduce himself, but... ] Gru. Call me Gru. And I did. I am saving the world.

[ this gurl is driving him up the walls! ] I can do whatever I want. [ and maybe he wants to save it so he can destroy it later or something! don't question his motives! but, no, he's a father now... so... ]

[ this! this is something he doesn't mind talking about. ] My favorite gadget happens to be the Freeze Ray! [ whips it out and freezes and random passerby-er. ]
