Maxwell Freedman, unaired audition interview. Open auditions at Mall of the Millenium
Max walks past the camera. The sound of muffled talking. He wanders back to the camera, points to the chair placed there for auditioners.
Oh! This chair! See, there were other chairs over there, so I just thought, it can't be this one that's so close and ... oh, yeah, there is a big camera in front of it. Heh. Should have noticed that, huh?
blushes, then composes self.
Okay. Hit me.
1. Ooh, my energy! Not just that crazy hyper-charge I get when I shrink, but really, I'm just always on the go. How can I not change the world with that much pep, right?
2. Sometimes I have nightmares that I can't un-shrink. Or ... these are private, right? I ... well, one time the nightmare was that only a ... certain part of me was stuck mini-sized. Man, I can't believe I told you guys that! Cameras in the face are like truth serum or something.
3. Well, since I don't know how a guy lives without a planet, I guess you gotta go with 'save the world,' right?
4. I can't shrink other folks. I kinda think being that small really changes your perspective. Maybe if I could do that, folks would figure out how small we all are, really. Woah, that was way too hippie-talk. I swear I only had that one trip...
5. Two words: hyper. active. Man, my folks had a handful with me. Always running around, getting myself scraped up. I don't think I got far enough past 'ooh, shiny!' most of the time to really think about being a hero. Well, except that one time I tried to fly off the roof. The three broken bones cured me of that one.
6. Hey, if the people at home don't have HD, I might not appear on TV! Oh, man, that was a good one... 'cause I shrink, and you'd have to have HD to see me when I'm small ... okay, maybe it's only funny to me.
7. Aw, there's always hope for the world. The future? Man, I haven't thought about it much. Guess I'm still a little like that kid my parents barely got out of the house alive. Flying cars! Yes. Flying cars in the future. And hover rocking chairs for old folks like me.
8. This season I'm hoping for a really rocking secret HQ. And road trips! Love the road trips. No forced day jobs though; that was such a snore season ... I mean, that was less interesting than the other super compelling seasons. So, it was only normally compelling ... crud
9. I'd say I'd hate for the cops to have to tussle with indestructible flying guys who can throw cars. Yoinks. If there weren't anarchs, I'd be all for archons living normal lives. But that's not how it is, you know?
10. Ooh, you missed giving the 'no wishing for more wishes' clause. Totally wishing for more wishes, 'cause then I wouldn't go into meltdown trying to pick one thing.
11. Speedy Gonzales. Only guy I know who has more energy than me. Plus, he's tiny, too!
