(Spotlight comes up on a Superhero, Speedo, sitting in a chair. A figure sits near him but in the darkness.)

SPEEDO

I'm fast... so fast no one can see me. I thought I had something special... something I could help people with, but it ended up being a joke. Everyone started calling me Speedo. That's one of them guy's swim suits... not a flattering one either... Have you seen a guy in a speedo? Yuck.

DOCTOR

How fast are you?

SPEEDO

You know that pen that was in your pocket a second ago? Here it is.

DOCTOR

That is fast.

(Doctor thinks.)

DOCTOR (CONT.)

How about a chocolate fudge candy bar... wait... with almonds.

(Speedo holds it out to her.)

SPEEDO

That's what everyone wants me to do... fetch stuff... I should be called Errand Boy.

DOCTOR

And that's why you want to get rid of your power... this burden that haunts you... it ruins your life.

SPEEDO

Yes.

DOCTOR

I can do that for you... I can take away this hardship in your life... this curse... forever.
