The Helping Hand Acceptance Corporation

J. Frank Parnell :
J. Frank Parnell.

Otto :
Ott, Ott...

J. Frank Parnell :
You ever feel as if your mind 
had started to erode?

Otto :
….No.

J. Frank Parnell :
Ever been to Utah?

Otto :
Sir. I represent The Helping Hand
Acceptance Corporation.

J. Frank Parnell :
Radiation, yes indeed.

You hear the 
most outrageous 
lies about it.

Half-baked goggle-boxed do-gooders
telling everybody it's bad for you.

Pernicious nonsense.

Everybody could stand a hundred 
chest X-rays a year.
They ought to have them too.

When They cancelled The Project 
it almost did me in.

One day my mind was
literally bursting.

The next day nothing.
Swept away...

But I'll show them.
……I had A Lobotomy 
in the end.

Otto :
Lobotomy?
Isn't that for loonies?

J. Frank Parnell :
Not at all.

A friend of mine had one.
Designer of The Neutron Bomb.

Ever hear of The Neutron Bomb?
Destroys peopleLeaves 
buildings standing.

It fits in a suitcase.

It's so small no one knows
it's there until blammo.

Eyes melt, skin explodes,
everybody dead.

It's so immoral, working on
the thing can drive you mad.

That's What Happened to
this friend of mine.

So he had A Lobotomy.
Now he's well again.

Otto :
What kind of car does your...
does your friend drive?

J. Frank Parnell :
Chevy Malibu.

Otto :
This is really a nice old car.
Why don't you let me drive?

J. Frank Parnell :
What do you mean?

Otto :
Well, I don't know. I mean... 
Don't you feel funny?

J. Frank Parnell :
Why should I feel funny?

The two hemispheres are
fundamentally at odds.
Hemisphere/Hemisphere

You know it's strange.
I do feel funny...

Ah...
