Goooood afternoon, ladies and gentlemen! Booster Gold’s the name, and I’m coming to you live from Wherever-We-Are-I-Didn’t-Catch-The-Name-Sorry, Florida! You might remember me from my many thrilling exploits – please, feel free to ask about those – or, slightly more recently, from the third season of Celebrity Dance-A-Thon. You probably don’t have that here. Don’t worry, I’ll give you the highlights. I didn’t learn to samba for nothing.

Oh, so this is a public service.

We all have our own methods of heroism. You do...whatever is it you expect to be doing, I'll save the onlookers from having their eyes burnt out from the glare.

You're too generous. Really.

What's there for me to say? I'm a giver.
