41	** The Boss (Mighty Eternal) tells Ms. Splosion Man "[[Film/ANightmareOnElmStreet1984 I'm your boyfriend now!]]".
42	*** After she defeats the Boss, there's [[Franchise/{{Predator}} this exchange]]:

44	---->'''Mighty Eternal:''' Wh-wh-wh-what the heck are ''you''?
45	---->''(The Boss then initiates a very familiar self-destruct sequence.)''
