Good lord, where am I? And what is this ugly city?

Manhattan. Shelbyville Manhattan.

*gasp* I know you! You're the guy who invented Manhattan Clam Chowder!
|
|
No, Dad, he's the man who founded Shelbyville.
|
|
Oh. Is Shelbyville Clam Chowder the creamy kind or the red kind?
|
|
|
Speaking of red and creamy, I could go for a little female companionship.
|
|
|
Are any of my attractive cousins around?
|
|
Eew.
|
|
Now now, Lisa. Who are we to judge the racist and sexist ways of the past.
|
|
Fine. I'll take you to see your cousins. But first you have to let me interview you for the school newspaper.

|
Fine. What's the subject of your article -- American heroes?

No -- a recently discovered caveman.

You there! Where did you find that girl you're always kissing who's also always kissing everyone else?
|
|
What?! Shauna's cheating on me?
|
|
We met in high school.
|
|
|
“High school?” Very well, to "high school" I go!
|
|
Hold it right there! You're not setting foot in that school, creep! Can't you read the sign? “No Trespassing”.

No I cannot!

|
|
If you're going to live here, you'll need to get with the times. No modern woman would go for such a brute.
|
|
|
What difference does her opinion make? I'll just club her over the head and force her to marry me.
|
|
Okay, even back in your time, I'm pretty sure that wasn't acceptable.
|
|
|
We're going to the library so you can read up on contemporary culture.
|
|
|
How am I supposed to do that? I don't know how to read.
|
|
Um, hello? Don't you know there's a whole genre of movies of guys being frozen and then thawed out in the future?

What's your point?

|
My point is that these movies always contain a montage of the character catching up on all the stuff they missed.

|
|
|
Now that I'm a modern man, I can start dating, but the idea of dating an unrelated person disgusts me. I hope I've made that abundantly clear.
|
|
|
If only there was a surefire way to find out if someone was related to me.
|
|
Actually, there is. It's called DNA testing.
|
|
|
All you have to do is get people to let you swab the inside of their cheek, and I can test their DNA in my laborator -- BLURGHGH!
|

Get your finger out of my mouth! You're supposed to use a COTTON SWAB to take the sample!

|
|
|
Well, the dream is over. I'll just have to settle for a non-cousin “normy”.
|
|
I'm sorry, I don't mean to eavesdrop, but did you just say you were thinking of settling?
|
|
|
You know, I sort of have a thing for guys who are out of other options. The name's Miss Hoover.
|
|
|
*sigh* If only your last name was Manhattan, I'd be all up in that.

Wait a minute! Your name isn't Manhattan, but what if MINE was Hoover! Do you have any uncles?

Stop trying to control me and my gun! I think we should see other people.
