Dan Dreiberg's table.
Did you know that he and H.J. were-? I had no idea.
You remember that crazy guy? What'd he call himself?
Captain Carnage.
Used to pretend he was a supervillain just so he could get beat up?
Yeah, he tried that on me once. I just walked away.
He starts following me down the street in broad daylight...
...yelling, "Punish me! Punish me!"
I'm just saying, "No, get lost".
God, whatever happened to him?
Oh. Um... He pulled that on Rorschach...
...and Rorschach dropped him down an elevator shaft.
Oh, my God. That's not even funny.
- It's a little funny. - Yep.
I'm glad I ordered the four-legged chicken.
It's really good to see you again.
It's great seeing you too.
Why'd we do it, Dan? Dress up like that?
- No one else would. - Yeah, but do you remember my costume?
All that tight latex? I mean, it was awful.
Uh... Yeah, yeah, awful.
But didn't wanna disappoint Mother.
Wanted her little girl to be just like her and fight bad guys.
I think the Keene Act was the best thing that ever happened to us.
Well, we'll live longer anyway.
What?
Jon thinks, unless he can do something about it...
...that there's gonna be nuclear war.
Soon.
But I don't know what to think. I mean, it's all...
...quantum mechanics and parallel realities with him.
I never even know what universe he's actually seeing.
He just keeps getting further away from me.
Everyone.
I can't even tell if he actually cares about me anymore...
...or if he's just pretending.
If he's pretending, it means he cares.
Hold on, I'll get the door.
Thanks, Dan.
- Got it? - Yeah.
I'm sorry.
I invite you out to dinner to catch up and have a few laughs...
...but there don't seem to be many laughs around these days.
What do you expect? The Comedian's dead.
