The Pursuit for Punchy Flyers
Lucy: Come on, come all to the grand opening of The Electric Palace. You'll find high voltage savings¹ on current models, prices so low they're shocking! Boltover to The Electric Palace and find out what's happening. Just say - charge it! Well?
Rodney: Uhhh...I just don't know, Lucy.
Lucy: Rodney, this is the sixth flyer I've done for you. I put in everything you wanted. What's wrong with it this time?
Rodney: It just doesn't grab me, y'know?
Lucy: No. I don't know. I don't know what you want!
Rodney: I just want something a little more...punchy, that's all.
Lucy: Punchy? If it were any more punchy, it would have two black eyes and a broken nose!
Rodney: Hey, that's good! Could you put that in somewhere?
Lucy: No. I don't think so.
