Margot Kidder: What the fuck is happening?!
Super-Chris: Just a superhumanly strong flying dude, nothing to worry about! I'll just smile charmingly while your brain utterly breaks.
Margot Kidder: Oh I'm fine with the flying thing. I just, I'd been falling for five hundred feet when I hit your arms. Which were flying UP towards me, which would just INCREASE the impact velocity. Shouldn't that collision have given my body all kinds of interesting new corners?
Super-Chris: What is that, physics? Let me show you something.
