We Live in an Age of Marvels





In Fair Philadelphia, we lay our scene, 
City of Brotherly Love :
Hey, Yo Baby-Creed, Rock-O, remember The Neighborhood!
Hey, Yo, Jazzy Jeff, Fresh Prince —
Spider Rico —
Hey there, Mick, Yo, Paulie —
Hey, Yo, Steps, Little Marie (from The Atomic Hoagie Stand) — Let The Be LIGHT!

Captain Marvel

No, not that one. 

Or The Other One. 

Or, the other, Other One, who was an imposter, but not in a bad way. 

Or, any one of The Girl Ones


Captain Marvel saves Mary from being hit by a snow plow 


Mary Bromfield : 
Oh, my God.

Captain Marvel : 
Mary... Mary, are you okay? 
Are you...

Mary Bromfield : 
How do you know My Name?

Captain Marvel : 
Uh... How do I know your name? 
Uh... One of my superpowers is 
name-guessing. 

Which is really weird, I bet. 

Uh, it's not as cool as super-strength or super-speed, but it's really helpful when I meet new people. 

Are you Hurt?

Mary Bromfield : 
No, I'm okay. 
Thank you

Um... I just need a second to think. 

This has been such a weird day.

Captain Marvel : 
Um, using my powers of super-observation, I see that you're holding a letter from a college in your hand. 

Are you upset because you didn't get in?

Mary Bromfield : 
[shakes her head, then nods]  
I got in.

Captain Marvel : 
Uh... well, now my superpowers are failing me and I am very confused.

Mary Bromfield : 
Yeah. Me too. I don't know. 

I know I should be excited 'cause This is My Dream and I've worked really, really hard for this, but it's like... 

I don't know. 

Leaving My Family does not feel fun, you know?

Captain Marvel : 
Could I, could I give you a little piece of advice? 
Don't be worried about Everybody Else. 
Always look out for Number One. 
Gandhi said that.

Mary Bromfield : 
I don't think he said that.

Captain Marvel :
Yeah, he did.

Mary Bromfield : 
Gandhi did not say….

Captain Marvel : 
Somebody like Gandhi said that.

Mary Bromfield : 
Take care of Number One?

Captain Marvel : 
It was a really Wise... 
It might've been Yoda. Listen...

Mary Bromfield : 
I'm sorry, no.

Captain Marvel :
Agree to Disagree. 

The Point is, 
You Do You, you know? 

You Gotta Look Out for You. 

And get as far away from this place as you can.

Mary Bromfield : 
I don't know if I want to.

Captain Marvel : 
Of course you do. 
What're you gonna do?
 
You're gonna live in a Group Home 
for the rest of your life?

[pause

Captain Marvel : 
Look, Families are for 
People Who can't Take Care of Themselves, okay? So... 

You Know, and You Can Take Care of Yourself. 

Also, Look Both Ways When You Cross The Street.
