PETER PARKER
Hey dr banner I'm a big fan
I hope you don't mind if I ask
Do you really have 7 PhDs?

BRUCE BANNER
Oh, it's not as impressive as it sounds

PETER PARKER
Wow really

BRUCE BANNER
Yeah, a lot of my work counted in multiple fields at once
Many of my experiments were interdisciplinary
Made it way easier to pick up a few extra along the way

PETER PARKER
Dr banner that is incredibly impressive

BRUCE BANNER
Also
If I'm honest
I just really was looking for excuses not to graduate
Extra docs let me put it off a few more years

PETER PARKER
Really? Why?

BRUCE BANNER
Because that meant I'd have to go out into the real world
I mean, have you SEEN the real world?

PETER PARKER
I'm a gen zer sir
I get it
