-Yeah, right on, okay.

It's--
-All right.

-Okay.
Okay, it's true.

-So, now when you put on the Deadpool sort of get up, 'cause-- and it's really a great
get up at all-- all together--
-I try-- I try.
-Do you--
-It's a lot hard, but still I try.

-Half-assed [unk]--
-It's not the real me.
-Half-assed it so bad.
-I'm honored though.
I'm honored.
-Yeah, you did a good job.
Everybody here should be dressed up as someone like my friend here, absolutely.
Someone like as if when you put on the whole gear, do you feel like you have to act more like into how he's so outgoing?
-You what it is, dude?
It's the girls.
-Yeah.
-It's the girls.
-Deadpool gets the ladies?
-They just-- they just-- that's what it is.
-Yeah.
-And that's what it is.
-And then--
-They come to you.
-Yeah, and like when the mask comes off, it's still okay, like everything is still okay?
-It all goes away, bro.
It all goes away--
-Which is a [unk]--
-I look-- burned victims look better than me.

-The grandma from Addams Family.
-She's very hot.
-Right, right.
-Yeah.
-So, what's the deal here?
-Oh, you know, I don't really know.
It's just connected and it looks like I'm running low in fluids, you're supposed to help me.
-Yeah, yeah.
-All right.
-You really-- you sound like you're-- like a zombie from Long Island.
-Maybe I am.
