The Thing in My Head!/Quotes

References/Trivia

Giorgio Bishop: Holy father! [SHUDDER!]

Claude Kane III: [thinking] I must pretend to be a victim of some gory accident in order to protect my Radioactive Man identity--but how long can I keep this charade going? How long?!

Narrator: Soon, the strange little man comes to in a most unusual place...

Giorgio Bishop: I-I must've fainted! But where am I-- and who--? Gasp! You!! Radioactive Man!! But-- but-- what the--? Where am--? How did--?

Radioactive Man: Take it easy, Mr. Bishop----there's no need for incomplete sentences. I'll explain everything.

Narrator: Unbeknownst to the dumbfounded little man, he is on the perpetually fog-shrouded peak of Mt. Zenith, in the Atomic Avenger's very secret hideaway...

Radioactive Man: I brought you to my private sanctuary, the Containment Dome, for you to recuperate after your fainting spell!

Giorgio Bishop: Fainted? Oh my goodness--I'm so embarrassed! Hey, wait a minute----where'd you come from, Radioactive Man? And--and how do you know my name??

Radioactive Man: I have access to the most sophisticated and accurate detection equipment on the planet! Learning who you are was mere child's play...

Radioactive Man: [thinking] No need for him to know that I only looked through his wallet to find his I.D.!

Radioactive Man: I, er, would rather hear your story first hand, rather than processing the data from a cold, emotionless machine!

Giorgio Bishop: Yes, yes--if you insist! You know my name is Giorgio Bishop... I moved to Florida shortly after the war... ...but I grew up in Europe, where I nurtured a morbid fascination for the weird and the bizarre! For as long as I can remember, it had always excited me!

Radioactive Man: [thinking] Jeepers! And I brought this guy into my secret hideout? I hope he doesn't get any funny ideas!

Giorgio Bishop: And he's out there in Zenith somewhere!

Radioactive Man: Who?

Giorgio Bishop: What do you mean, who? That man with the thing in his head! Who else do you think I'm talking about?? I'm asking you to help me find him--that thing in his head resembles that gaudy ornament on your headgear!

Radioactive Man: [thinking] Great ions! This eccentric old fellow is oblivious to the obvious--he doesn't put it together that the man with the thing in his head and Radioactive Man are one and the same!!

Claude Kane III: Gloria! You certainly were a little rough on that copy boy!

Gloria Grand: Well, that idiot shouldn't be bringing this junk into a real news organization!

Claude Kane III: Junk? Oh, it's that new newspaper--the Weekly Global Gazette!

Gloria Grand: Oh, please! Sure, it sounds like a real newspaper--but it gives journalistic integrity a bad name! Just look at some of the big "scoops" they run! It's a joke--like that article about an eggplant that looks like our vice president! Don't you laugh, Claude--just look at this on the next page-- It looks like they used your head in this composite photo for this crackpot story! I'd sue if I was you!

Claude Kane III: Oh, no harm done, Gloria! No one takes this rag seriously!

Claude Kane III: [thinking] [CHUCKLE!] My plan worked! I convinced Bishop to publish his own newspaper... ...I knew a whole paper filled with his kind of material would be so way out, no right-thinking adult would believe anything in it! Being wealthy, I was able to finance his operation and write it off on my taxes. As far as everyone is concerned, this "news" paper is put out by some eccentric kook down in Florida! Once again, my secret is safe!
