By day, I'm a mild-mannered bank teller. But when darkness falls, I transform into FRENCH-MAN! The world's most cowardly and annoying superhero. Why, just last night...
French-Man: Hark! I hear a mugging. This looks like a job for... FRENCH-MAN!
[arriving way outside the nick of time]
French-Man: Hey there, evil criminal. What are you doing to that innocent victim?
Criminal: Beating the crap out of him with this tire iron so I can steal me some crack money. [WHACK!]
Victim: Ow! God! My skull!
French-Man: No need for violence. I'm sure there's a diplomatic...
[WHACK!]
Victim: Oof! My kidneys!
French-Man: Please, Innocent Victim, don't interrupt my beautiful voice. That's cowboyish and rude! Now, if we examine the root causes of this mugger's rage...
[WHACK!]
Victim: AAAAAAAH! My groin!
Criminal: I need money for crack NOW! CRAAAAAAACK!
French-Man: See? Now if you'll just appease him instead of persisting in your unilateral struggles...
Criminal: Can it, Froggy! He's dead and I've got the money... Saaaaaay... what's in YOUR wallet?
French-Man: Uh... I can see my work here is done. I have an important surrendering ceremony to attend across town... YIKES! MOMMY!...
Another day, another diplomatic victory, courtesy of... FRENCH-MAN!
