Man, Joe sure is late...
|
|
And here we are on our victory lap vacation.
|
|
And it's been almost three hours since the meeting time... Should someone go get him?
|
|
Knowing that guy, he probably overslept! Or mixed up his underwear and swim trunks.
|
|
There she goes again...
|
|
...Huh? Isn't that Joe?
|
|
Heeeeey, you guuuuys!
|
|
Joe! The heck're those injuries from?!
|
|
Is he carrying... a crocodile?
|
|
Hey! That thing doesn't bite, does it?!
|
|
Joe... What in the world were you doing? Is that reptile the reason you're late?
|
|
As if! This is just a little souvenir I picked up for you guys!
|
|
But more importantly, get this Terry, Andy! I, Joe Higashi, have finally...
|
|
Gotten Lilly to go on a date with meee!
|
|
All in unison: Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!
|
|
Lilly... You mean Billy's little sister?
|
|
Oh yeah, I remember you going on about asking her out if we won the championship.
|
|
Exactly! That brother of hers kept butting in, but he won't get away with that this time!
|
|
The story will bring you to tears--heck, I'm getting misty just thinking about it. So? Will ya give it a listen?!
|
|
The tale of Joe and Lilly's romance extravaganzaaaa?!
|
|
Okay, I'll hear you out! But you gotta use your inside voice. Here, take a drink.
|
|
I have to admit, I'm curious what you got up to this time...
|
|
Oh! I bet you gave her some fried crocodile or something!
|
|
What?! No! Still, you're on the right track with this bad boy!
|
|
See, what makes a maiden's heart go pitter-patter? Why, flowers of course!
|
|
No lady would turn her nose up at a nice, big bouquet! So, I popped over to Thailand.
|
|
Huh, not a bad instinct. Thailand is famous for its exotic flowers.
|
|
But I didn't just pick some common bloom...
|
|
I punched my way through man-eating snakes, Hurricane Upper'd a huge, ferocious crocodile, all to get my hands on... THIS!
|
|
Flower(?): SHAAAAAAAH!
|
|
Yeeek! What the heck is that gross thing?!
|
|
Are you sure she'd want to receive that monst-- I mean flower?
|
|
Sure, I'm sure! "Oh, what a rare and beautiful specimen! Darling, you shouldn't have!" she'll say!
