Hey! Those are expensive! [ Megamind glances back, and then leans over to a brainbot. ] Make a note, order more bulbs...

And, what was that oil sands? That's gross and not environmentally sound. Are you some sort of fear-of-pollution bad guy? And you chose to operate in Michigan? Man...

[kingofnightmares]

No. It's dream sand. No oil involved. [Pitch glances back up at the alien, gesturing a hand back to his creatures.]

They're made of the same thing.

[megamind]

That's gross. You know we only have one planet. Trust me, they're hard to come by. [ Seriously, they're oil sands now even if they're not, Megamind will do this just to be a dick. ]

[kingofnightmares]

[Pitch sighs heavily, rolling his eyes. Oh Megamind, you were something else. The spirit waves his hand, his Nightmares collapsing into sand, to the ground, disappearing completely.]

Good thing I'm not exactly affected by what happens to the planet, then.

[He stares back up at the moon, seeing as how the event was over with, but he looks back out towards Metro City thoughtfully.]

How long have you been in Metro City?

[megamind]

Almost all my life. I grew up in Metrocity's Prison for the Criminally Gifted.

Why do you ask?

[kingofnightmares]

[That's new.]

You were raised in a prison? [He's trying to wrap his mind around it, honestly.]

The inmates were allowed to do that?

[megamind]

Well, I don't know about allowed, but that's how it worked out. [ He shrugs, nonplussed. ] It's really not that big a deal.
