Trying to be in charge kid:
Hear Yee. Hear Yee. The first ever meeting of the uselessly super powered superhero club is now called to order. Well, well. Who are you?

Trying to get attention girl:
(entering) I’m “Trying to get attention girl” notice how I am noticed by coming into the meeting late.

Can’t wait kid:
Is this meeting over yet? When will it be over?

Trying to be in charge kid:
It just started. Who are you?

Can’t wait kid:
I’m “can’t wait kid”

Trying to get attention girl:
Before the meeting is finished, I will sing you my newest song. I wrote it myself.

Can’t wait kid:
Oh boy I can’t wait.

Captain “Saying what everybody already knows”:
You see, “trying to get attention girl” wants everybody to pay attention to her, and “can’t wait kid” can’t wait. Hi. I ought to introduce myself. I’m Captain “Saying what everybody already knows” and you are in charge of this meeting. And I’m talking at the moment.

Trying to be in charge kid:
Please sit down.

Can’t wait kid:
When do we get a snack? Soon I hope.

Trying to get attention girl:
Oh for goodness sakes. I forgot to brush my hair a hundred times. But it still looks pretty don’t you think?

Trying to be in charge kid:
Please everyone sit down. Now the reason I have called you all together is . . .

Miss Agreeable:
You are so right. You are so so right. I can see why you are in charge.

Trying to get attention girl:
Oh be quiet “miss agreeable” That is the most annoying superpower that was ever created.

Miss Agreeable:
I know. You are so right. You are so right. It’s an annoying power. It really is.

Sis:
I think this whole thing is dumb. I think she’s dumb. I think superpowers are dumb, especially these.

Trying to be in charge kid:
Are you “Negative kid?”

Sis:
Not Likely.

Trying to be in charge kid:
Are you “unpleasant person?”

Sis:
I’m not one of you guys any way shape or form.

Trying to be in charge kid:
Then who are You?

Can’t wait kid:
She’s not a superhero. That’s my obnoxious teenage sister. I can’t wait until she goes to college and I don’t have to put up with her anymore.

Sis:
That goes double for me, sis.

Captain “Saying what everybody already knows”:
Um we’ve been meeting for a while now and we still don’t know why. But we know that she has an obnoxious sister. And we know that miss agreeable likes to agree.

Trying to be in charge kid:
Thank you for that summary Captain “Saying what everybody already knows”. Now as I was saying.

Twin 1:
French fries.

Trying to be in charge kid:
What?

Twin 2:
And the cat has my hat.

Trying to be in charge kid:
Listen now,

Twin 1:
My pillow has dog breath.

Twin 2:
Like the horses in the bathtub.

Trying to be in charge kid:
Would somebody get the “ what are they talking about” twins out of here?

Twin 2:
There are too many people in my jello.

Miss Agreeable:
I know what you mean. You are so right. Way too many.

Trying to be in charge kid:
Miss agreeable, take them out of here now.

Miss Agreeable:
Oh yes sir. Right away sir. Come on kids.

Twin 2:
We don’t have to go if we don’t want to.

Twin 1:
Really.

Miss Agreeable:
Well that’s true.

Trying to be in charge kid:
They have to leave now.

Miss Agreeable:
You have to leave now, that’s true.

Twin 2:
We don’t have to go if we don’t want to.

Miss agreeable:
Well, I guess you don’t really.

Sis:
Are you by any chance related to Wishy washy woman?

Miss agreeable:
She’s my mother. How did you know that?

Sis:
Lucky guess. Come on kids. I’ll take you to watch tv with Couch Potato man.

Trying to get attention girl:
My I have your attention please.

Trying to be in charge kid:
Do you have something important to say?

Trying to get attention girl:
No, I just wanted everyones attention. Isn’t it pretty how my hair swishes back and forth when I move?

Trying to be in charge kid:
Listen. Everybody. This is important. The most evil super villan of all time has arrived in town and we need to prepare to fight him.

Villain:
Too late. I am here. And no silly powered super heros are going to stop me from taking over the whole world.

Miss Agreeable:
She’s right you know.

Villain:
Of course I am. Everyone might as well give up now.

Miss Agreeable:
OK.

Trying to be in charge kid:
Miss agreeable come back. Don’t give up!

Kid:
OK

Villain:
It doesn’t matter. One way or the other the world will tremble before me. They will cower, and stoop. And I shall be ruler of everything. Everything.

Trying to be in charge kid:
Who are you? We could defeat you if only we knew who you were.

Villain:
You shall never know, just as you shall never know the pain and sadness deep in my heart. The sadness of a childhood without love, the pain of being different. But I will make them all pay. Haha ha ha. Now is my moment.

Trying to be in charge kid:
If only we knew who she was. Does, any one have clue?

Captain “Saying what everybody already knows”:
Well she talks way too loudly, and boy does she over act.

Trying to be in charge kid:
That’s it! We know who you are monster. You are “bad actor” kid.

Villain:
Curses. You know. But so what. Even with that knowledge, I shall defeat you all. For your powers are nothing, and I have the ultimate, most powerful. . .

Mom:
Betsy!!!

Villain:
The most powerful force in the world. .

Mom:
Betsy. Come on now. It’s time to go.

Villain:
But Mom. I was about to destroy the super heroes and take over the world.

Mom:
That’s nice dear, but I’m late for my appointment with your teacher. Come on. Say goodbye to everyone.

Villain:
Bye. See you later. I’ll get you next time.

Trying to be in charge kid:
And so we were saved by one of the most powerful heroes in the universe.

Everyone:
The Mom.

Can’t wait kid:
Can we just skip to the song now?

Trying to get attention girl:
Before we sing the song, can everyone watch me dance? Hello. Somebody? I’m dancing.
Hello? Oh well. I guess we’ll sing the song.
