Panel 1

Construction site.  A sign somewhere says "Gandolfini Construction".
Vinnie, a huge, tough-looking worker, is sneering at the sight of young
Summer cooing over Popeye as they have lunch.

Vinnie: Ay!  That scrawny runt's makin' time with my goil!


Panel 2

Vinnie is now in a crane, and manipulates a wrecking ball to smack the
sailor away.  THWACK!  Summer holds her face in horror.

Vinnie: Ha!  And they said SWING was over!


Panel 3

Vinnie holds up the unconscious sailor with one hand.

Vinnie: Lemme interduce ya to a little thing we call.


Panel 4

Perspective of the towering implement of destruction that is.

Vinnie: THE PILEDRIVER!

Summer: Vinnie!  NO!


Panel 5

Vinnie slaps her with the back of his hand, sending her head into a steel
grider.

Vinnie: SHADDUP, SKANK!  I'll deal with you later!


Panel 6

Popeye is being driven into the ground, as the piledriver repeatedly
KLANKS! against his lolling head.  He's done for.  Vinnie sits in the
control area, laughing.


Panel 7

Summer feels her head, angry.  She spies Pop's can of spinach lying on the
ground.

Summer: Nobody uses me as their punching bag!


Panel 8

.is divided into three sub-panels:

Panel 8a: Summer chugs the spinach.  A tiny ribbon of music appears behind
her head.

Panel 8b: She swallows.

Panel 8c: Her arms snap out, her fists and forearms grow Popeye huge.


Panel 9

Summer runs toward the viewer with inhuman speed, scowling, fists clenched.

Summer: I've had it with construction!


Panel 10

Summer runs INTO THE PATH of the piledriver (she's leaning and skidding to
a stop).  She extends her arm in preparation for a flex, and has positioned
her bicep so that the driver will strike it.

Summer: Time for some DEMOLITION!


Panel 11

Close up of bicep, which Summer flexes.  The force of the titanic, veined
bicep shooting up meets the piledriver with catastrophic results.
KRRRAAAK!  The driver is mangled and cleaved.


Panel 12

.divided in half

Panel 12a: From behind, Vinnie hits Summer over the head with a pipe
wrench.

Panel 12b: Summer turns to him, scowling.  Vinnie stares agape at his pipe
wrench, bent 90 degrees.


Panel 13

Summer uppercuts shocked Vinnie (WHAM!), launching him into the building's
steel skeleton, against a 2nd story ceiling beam.

Summer: MONKEY around with me, will ya?!


Panel 14

Vinnie has collapsed around a beam, maoning.  Summer prepares him for the
finishing move.

Summer: Let me interduce ya to a REAL piledriver!

Vinnie:  Mwhooooaa.


Panel 15

Summer piledrives Vin right through the steel beam.  It SNAPS and GROANS,
the building warps.  Vinnie is driven into a cement trough below.  SPLORT!


Panel 16

Vinnie is encased in hardened cement.  Summer poses her physique in front
of him as Pops appreciates.

Summer: Which of us is the real hardbody?

Pops: (laughing) Argh argh argh!
