I have been looking for you." Said Ernesto. Hector looks nervous. "I'm getting nervous." Said Hector. Ernesto starts talking about Newarkton. "Sir, I heard your name at Newarkton. I was seeking an accelerated course of study when I got sort out of sorts with a buddy of yours.
I may have punched him. It's a blur, sir. He handles the financials—." Said Ernesto. Hector looks shocked. "You punched the bursar?" Asked Hector. Ernesto looks excited. "Yes, I wanted to do what you did. Graduate in two, then join the revolution. He looked at me like I was stupid. I'm not stupid. So how'd you do it? How'd you graduate so fast?" Asked Ernesto. Hector answers sadly. "It was my parents' dying wish before they passed." Said Hector. They walk into a bar. Ernesto is still excited. "You're an orphan. Of course, I'm an orphan. God, I wish there was a war! Then we could prove that we're worth more than anyone bargained for." Said Ernesto. Hector asks Ernesto a question. "Can I buy you a drink?" Asked Hector. Ernesto gladly accepts Hector's offer. "That would be nice." Said Ernesto. Hector gives Ernesto some advice. "While we're talking, let me offer you some free advice. Talk less." Said Hector. Ernesto is confused. "What?" Asked Ernesto. Hector tells Ernesto some more advice. "Smile more." Said Hector. Ernesto laughs. "Ha." Said Ernesto. Hector is trying to help Ernesto. "Don't let them know what you're against or what you're for." Said Hector. Ernesto is bewildered. "You can't be serious." Said Ernesto. Hector asks Ernesto another question. "You want to get ahead?" Asked Hector. Ernesto replies immediately. "Yes." Said Ernesto. Hector says rather darkly. "Fools who run their mouths off wind up dead." Said Hector. John Hancock, Thor Odinson, and Quasimodo all walk into the bar. Hancock speaks up. "Yo yo yo yo yo! What time is it?" Asked Hancock. Thor and Quasimodo reply to him. "Showtime!"

I am Thor Odinson. Up in it, lovin' it. Yes I heard your mother say "come again?"" Said Thor. Hancock and Quasimodo are happy. "Ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy." Said Hancock and Quasimodo. Thor continues. "Lock up your daughters and horses, of course. It's hard to have intercourse over four sets of corsets." Said Thor. Quasimodo is shocked. "Wow." Said Quasimodo. Hancock speaks up. "No more sex. Pour me another brew, son! Let's raise a couple more." Said Hancock. All 3 praise the revolution. "To the revolution!" Said Hancock, Quasimodo, and Thor. Hancock sees Hector. "Well if it ain't the prodigy of Newarkton College." Said Hancock. Thor sees Hector as well. "Hector Rivera." Said Thor. Hancock wants some knowledge from Hector. "Give us a verse, drop some knowledge." Said Hancock. Hector refuses to share his knowledge with them. "Good luck with that. You're takin' a stand. You spit, I'mma sit. We'll see where we land." Said Hector. Quasimodo and Thor are not happy with that answer. "Booooo/Ohhhhhh." Said Quasimodo and Thor. Hancock tries to convince Hector to open up. "Rivera, the revolution's imminent
What do you stall for?" Asked Hancock. Ernesto speaks up. "If you stand for nothing, Rivera, what'll you fall for?" Asked Ernesto. Hancock, Quasimodo, and Thor all respond to what Ernesto said. "Oooh." Said Hancock, Quasimodo, and Thor. Hancock is wondering who this person is that spoke up. "Who are you?" Asked Hancock. Thor is wondering the same thing. "Who are you?" Asked Thor. Quasimodo wants to know as well. "Who are you?" Asked Quasimodo. Hancock, Quasimodo, and Thor all want to know who this person is. "Who, who is this kid? What's he gonna do?"
