Fat Bastard is sitting on a bench, looking at Dr. Evil, who is standing over him, yelling
Dr. Evil: why must I be surrounded by freakin' idiots?!, I give you one job, win the rumble, and yet you can't even make it longer than 1 minute? I guess if you want something done, you have to do it yourself! I'm an evil genius, why must I do all the work?!
Mean Gene enters the locker room, and walks up to Dr. Evil
Mean Gene: excuse me Mr. Evil, can I get a statement
Dr. Evil rudely interrupts Mean Gene

Mean Gene walks up to goku
Mean Gene: good evening goku, do you have a statement for tonight's rumble
Goku looks up at Mean Gene, dumbfounded, and talks with his mouth full, spitting crumbs all over his outfit
Goku: what's a statement? Oh hey, can you get me some more gravy?
Goku continued to scarf down his meal, and act as if mean gene wasn't even there
Mean Gene put his microphone to goten
Mean Gene: what about you son, do you have any words?
Goten: well, my dad won last year, and they say like father, like son, so maybe tonight is my night
Mean Gene looked into the camera
