Angry Boy to rescue BCCI's ad revenues

In their top-secret, desirably situated, elegantly appointed underground base, our heroes are preparing for another day of fighting villainy. Well, at least one of them is...

Angry Boy: Breakfast is ready. I already called you three times!

Captain Cool: Yeah, yeah, I'll be there in a minute.

Angry Boy: I've been slaving over this hot stove for hours and if you don't come down right now your pancakes will be all cold and I swear I will lose it!

Captain Cool: Never fear, Angry Boy, for Captain Cool is here!

Angry Boy: Oh man, you're not even dressed! We're so going to be late!

Captain Cool: For what, my argumentative sidekick?

Angry Boy: Hello? For the Sri Lanka series? Have you forgotten?

Captain Cool: No, Angry Boy, Captain Cool never forgets.

Angry Boy: So why are you still wearing that ridiculous get-up?

Captain Cool: You mean desirable, high-margin superhero merchandise?

Angry Boy: That's what I said.

Captain Cool: Because, my temperamental friend, I am not going.

Angry Boy: What?

Captain Cool: That's right. I am taking a short break from fighting the forces of evil in order to rest and recuperate for the greater challenges ahead.

Angry Boy: You can't do that.

Captain Cool: According to my superhero contract, I'm entitled to three weeks annual leave, not including bank holidays. So I have decided to take a break.

Angry Boy: From what? All you do is stand behind the stumps, looking cool.

Captain Cool: Haha! Good one, my caped compadre! I'm afraid I used up a lot of cool energy in defeating the maroon menace of Dr Bravo and his minions.

Angry Boy: But they left halfway through the battle!

Captain Cool: And why did they leave? They left because they were no match for our insouciant imperturbability.

Angry Boy: No, they left because they rebelled against their board. And I'm not surprised. Some of these boards are just totally unreasonable.

Captain Cool: Shhhhhhhh! The BCCI will hear you. They have microphones everywhere.

Angry Boy: You're paranoid, old man.

Captain Cool: Oh really? Well, pick up that jar of maple syrup and put it next to your ear.

Angry Boy: Like this?

Captain Cool: Hear anything?

Angry Boy: Nothing. Wait, I can hear a kind of angry rumbling…

Srinivasan: Put the jar down, you overpaid imbecile. Do you think I want a view down your ear canal?

Srinivasan: Ow! Put me the right way up, you pair of preening nincompoops.

Srinivasan: Now listen up, Angry Boy. As deputy dogsbody, I am holding you responsible for our upcoming series against Sri Lanka.

Angry Boy: (Punches his left palm with his right fist) You can count on me, Commissioner Srinivasan!

Srinivasan: We'll see about that. This is the 767th time we have played Sri Lanka and our market research suggests that the Indian public may be getting a little bored. Boredom may mean a drop in advertising revenue and a drop in advertising revenue is not something that we should take lightly, is it, Angry Boy?

Angry Boy: No sir.

Srinivasan: Good. So I expect you to not only win this series against Sri Lanka, but to do so in a thoroughly entertaining and televisually spectacular manner. Got that?

Angry Boy: Er, yes. I think so.

Captain Cool: Mr Srinivasan, it's Captain Cool here.

Srinivasan: What do you want?

Captain Cool: Is there anything you would like me to do while I'm on leave? Maybe I could vacuum the dressing room? Decorate the Super Hero meditation annex?

Srinivasan: No, you just take it easy, Captain Cool. Keep out of the way. Put your feet up. Adjust yourself to redundancy.

Captain Cool: Yes sir, but don't worry, once I've had my superhero recuperation, I will be back as good as new, ready once more to serve the BCCI. When exactly would you like me to return from my vacation?

Srinivasan: O, there's no hurry. Take as long as you like.

Captain Cool: But you'll let me know if you want me to cut my break short? I mean, it's no trouble at all. I know how important I am to the BCCI.

Srinivasan: We'll let you know.
