— Xavier (Unknown Fan #1): Excuse me, miss. I seem to have lost my way. Could you point me in the right direction? Stranger (Unknown Fan #2): Well, shoot, stranger. My pointin' days are long gone, what with these prosthetic limbs and all. Xavier: What the hell? Who transformed your form, messed with your temple, altered your altar, modied ^([sic]) your body? Stranger: Why, Dr. Bruce blessed me with my new hands. He does all sorts of surgeries, but he specializes in hand jobs. Prior to this, I was just a misfit, a nobody. Xavier: Well, being a nubby nobody is better than being a stubby somebody. Stranger: I'm very grateful for these hands, but they're preventing me from getting silly old Whiskers down from that tree.
