1:03:00
- Probably had a slew of women since.
- Oh, lots of women.
1:03:04
Jagger and me, we had a running
contest to see who had the most.
1:03:08
Matter of fact, last time
I looked, I was way ahead.
1:03:11
- Damn, that's hot!
- But I never forgot that girl.
1:03:15
Did you ever get back together with her?
1:03:17
One day I found out she'd got married.
1:03:19
I had blown it. I had missed my window.
1:03:23
No way. What'd you do?
1:03:26
I went on with my life.
1:03:28
I created some special new superheroes.
1:03:32
They were characters that reflected
my own heartbreak and my own regrets.
1:03:36
- How so?
- Doctor Doom wears body armour...
1:03:39
..to conceal his own mangled form, right?
1:03:42
Yeah.
1:03:43
OK, that was me beneath the armour.
1:03:47
The Hulk. A normal guy one minute,...
1:03:50
..a rage of emotions the next.
1:03:52
Just like me when I thought
about what I'd given up.
1:03:55
So you created each character as
a way to deal with your one big regret.
1:03:59
Yeah. The girl that got away.
1:04:01
Look, do yourself a favour, Brodie.
1:04:04
Don't wait, because all the money,...
1:04:06
..all the women, even
all the comic books in the world,...
1:04:10
..they can't substitute for that one person.
1:04:13
- I dunno. All the comics in the world.
- Trust me, true believer.
1:04:17
- Well, good talking to you.
- Keep up all the good work.
1:04:20
You keep reading 'em,
I'll keep writing 'em.
1:04:23
- Hey, Stan.
- Yeah?
1:04:26
- She really meant that much to you?
- Brodie, I'd give it all up, all of it,...
1:04:31
..for just one more day with her.
1:04:35
Take care.
1:04:46
- Stan!
- Hi.
1:04:48
- Hey, I think he bought it.
- What kinda story you give him?
1:04:51
It was the Vulture's soliloquy from
the Spider-Man anniversary issue.
1:04:55
- "Love Be a Vulture Tonight."
- Yeah, well, I can't thank you enough.
1:04:59
Oh, forget it. But I think
you oughta get him some help.
