"This is so cool!!!" Shawn said, jumping up and down, "You're like Professor X and that makes me like Wolverine!"
"Shawn, you are not anything like Wolverine. Wait. Why do I have to be the old guy?"
"You look like him. In the forehead. Little bit."
"Shawn!"
"Fine, fine, you'll be the Jean Gray to my Logan."
"You know it makes me uncomfortable when you say things like that!"
"Whatever, this is awesome! We should charge people!"
"Charge them? To benefit from my psychic abilities?"
"Yeah!"
"You mean like with a psychic detective agency, Shawn?"
"Yeah! Oh, you're right. Well, hey, we're ahead of the game - score!!"
"Yeah, I think we'll let people think you're the psychic. I don't need people thinking I'm a freak."
Shawn smiled. "I am impressed by your generous willingness to let me stay in the spotlight. It's warm and cozy there. And I like it."
"You say that like you're kidding, Shawn, but we both know you're not."
"Whatevs. Hey, now that you're psychic, you're going to know all sorts of stuff that I don't!"
"I already know stuff that you don't! It's called common knowledge, Shawn."
"You can name all the Roman emporers in both chronological and alphabetical order."
"Yeah, I said common knowledge."
But Shawn was already onto his next idea, saying, "Oh! With your abilities you can do well in the stock market."
"That would be cheating, Shawn. And besides, my portfolio is doing well above market due to my research skills."
"Hey! Maybe now that you're psychic, we'll beat Lassiter to the good witnesses and totally make him turn red with anger and clench his jaw so tight we can see that vein pulse right next to his mole and-"
"We already do that, Shawn."
"So... um....even though you have a totally awesome superpower, not much is going to change?"
"That's right, Shawn. I am going to continue to be more interesting than you."
"Low blow, Gus. So how'd you get these powers anyway? Was it your supersniffer?" Shawn's eyes widened as he continued, "Did you train your sniffer and you got so good you were able to smell the future?!?"
Gus rolled his eyes again. "That is not how people become psychic, Shawn."
"I've heard it can happen that way."
"No you haven't."
