Justice League of America

So Tori, tell us what happened.

Oh, I don't know.

I guess I don't have very much confidence in myself, you know,

and I'm obviously never thinking that I'd become a superhero.

I want this storm analyzed from top to bottom. We need to know exactly what we're dealing with here.

Dr. Eno, could you spare a few minutes?

Do you know what those readings I asked for?

Actually, um, no, but I'm anxious to show you something extremely important.

I'll help you right now. There's nothing more important. Do it now.

But now.

Yes, sir.

Give me a hand.

Oh, that's okay. I'll get it.

Shouldn't you be heading home?

Uh, well, leaving early wouldn't impress the boss.

Besides, I want to go downstairs and check on the readings for that storm.

You've got to get your rest. I need you if we're going to get Senator Hoffman to write a check at the fundraiser.

You know, sir, I'm not even sure I should come. You're much better at that sort of thing.

Me, on the other hand...

An attractive, intelligent researcher who is going to knock him dead.

Well, I think that's your department.

Uh, you know, the knock-em-dead part, not the attractive.

Well, no, I'm not saying that you're not attractive as to...

You know what I mean.

Mm-hmm.

You know, I'm a nice guy, I think. You know, I like to go, uh, eat sushi sometimes.

I like to go to the park, have a little picnic and stuff. You know, I don't know. I don't know.

I've got a lot of time on my hands these days, I guess. I don't know.

Come on, give me a week.

Look, I know I'm behind on the red, but come on, I just lost my job.

Tell it to somebody who cares.

Look, I'll be back for my stuff.

Hey.

Barry's lucky.

His life is so unencumbered.

I mean, he...

Mine is so complex. Extremely complex.

How's this, sir?

It's good.

My life depends on you guys.

See, I'm the new one around here, and, uh, I have to say, it's been quite the adjustment.

I was really happy with my job at the Eno Institute.

Wow.

Tori, did you talk to Dr. Eno?

Oh, uh...

Look, you said you were gonna talk to him for me.

I will. It's just Dr. Eno's a very busy man, and now is not the time to be bothering him.

Bother?

Listen, my project's the kind of scientific breakthrough that could save this institute.

Well, if the storm system hits this place, we're not gonna have an institute.

Thanks a lot.

Oh, come on, Arliss, I'll talk to him.

Yeah, yeah.

Dr. Eno should see this.

See what?

Oh, um, wind speeds topping 210. We're right off the Saffir-Simpson scale.

A hurricane in New Metro.

Yeah, first one on record.

Bob, can you get me the vertical wind shear readings?

Anyway, I recorded this earlier. I think some clown's been all over the tube predicting this storm.

Good afternoon, New Metro. This is The Weatherman with today's forecast, in case you haven't noticed it's windy out.

It's very windy.

Those gusts are up to 200 miles per hour, and I'm afraid it's the beginning of a severe weather trend.

We should go up and check this out.

Out? You mean like, like outside? Out?

You can't spend your life in front of a computer, Tori.

You know, it's a lot safer.

To hell with safer, right?

Guy, I don't believe it.

Well, I felt so bad about leaving you in the opera the other night. I went out and bought the CD and learned your favorite part.

Oh, Guy.

Cheryl, I'm going to be there for you more often in the future, I promise.

Starting real soon.

Guy, don't walk.

I really love acting. I really do. You know, you get these fabulous parts, these unbelievable characters, monologues and costumes.

All right, act!

Sign in.

God, I'm back in acting 101.

Cut, cut, cut. Remember, you're a cherry. I'm a strawberry.

Excuse me.

It's a national spot, plus all the fruit you can eat for a year.

Oh, well, I have a vitamin C allergy.

I'm sorry.

I'm talking to a raisin, aren't I?

A pram.

Whatever.

Where's the banana?

Oh, uh, maybe the pasta?

At your service.

Oh, uh, but I gotta split.

So, bye.

I became a scientist so that I could help people, so that I could discover new things about the world, so I could discover new things about people and our planet, where we came from, where we're going, what's going to happen to us in the future.

The most fascinating aspect of the photosynthetic process is...

I'm the only one who's fascinated by it.

Mr. Drazen.

What?

Elaborate, please.

Oh, yeah.

All right, well, uh, what we have here is...

Hey, hey!

Class dismissed!

Look at that.

It's incredible.

Imagine if we could harness the power of that storm, we could light the entire country for six months.

With two, we could light the world.

If anyone could do it, it would be you, sir.

Billy!

Thank you, Green Lantern.

Let's get him someplace safe.

Hey, Rudy, get out of here.

He doesn't look right, does he?

Oh!

Let out!

Look out!

Help!

Come on!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Coffee breaks over, boys.

Oh Whiskers!

Oh Whiskers!

Oh Whiskers!

Oh Whiskers!

Oh Whiskers!

Oh Whiskers!

Oh Whiskers!

Please!

Please, I know.

Please, you've got to get back inside.

Please, go inside, ma'am.

I can't go without Whiskers.

Come on, Whiskers.

Oh!

I'm not leaving without Whiskers.

Allow me, ma'am.

Oh, my.

Okay.

Oh, my.

Come on.

Come on, baby.

Come on.

Come on.

Oh.

Oh, my.

Oh, my.

Oh, my.

This is absolutely incredible.

The Flash is slowing down the wind speed

by creating a counter-current.

What would New Metro do without the Justice League?

So much for that Weatherman's predictions.

Can't trust forecasters.

What if my stuff's still in there?

Bravo, Justice League.

Bravo, a virtual ocean performance.

But I want you to keep one thing in mind about the weather.

It can change at any moment.

I'm really just a regular guy, I guess.

You know, I like bowling, football, watching the tube.

I really like the bowling.

I guess I haven't figured out those life and career decisions yet.

But, you know, why rush it?

Good work, Flash.

Thanks.

Who do we save next?

Storm's over.

We're done rescuing people for the day.

What was that all about?

I don't know.

But you think that Weatherman's for real?

Nobody can manipulate the weather.

It's impossible.

No.

Finding a job is impossible.

Still no luck?

None.

And I just lost my apartment.

God knows where I'm gonna stay tonight.

Oh, would you look at the time.

You know, how long do you think somebody can listen to that tomorrow

before they fall asleep?

Listen, maybe they haven't picked the entire fruit basket.

B.B.

What?

Oh, I'll do it on the way.

Maybe I still got a student or two left.

Maybe I'm hitting the want ads again.

There's the other side that I really, I really like to focus my life on, too.

The part that helps people.

Sort of interferes with acting a bit, but, you know, I'll try to marry the two eventually.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Typical.

Looking for someone?

Yeah.

Are you still taking resumes?

No, I'm not.
