#581: The Race: Part 5 explain

[Nathan skates in.]

Nathan: So you took care of him?

Summer: I can extrude hair, but I can’t retract it.

Nathan: That a yes?

[Summer grabs Nathan’s arm as he skates past her, pulling him off the board.]

Nathan: Bwah!

[An Andy Capp-esque meleè dust cloud.]

WHAP BAM POW WHAM

[Summer skates away.]

[A beat-up Nathan approaches an similarly battered Cueball.]

Nathan: She may have my board, but I can still beat you to the finish line if I bring you down.

Cueball: Bring it, Captain Tightpants.

Nathan: I’ve got nothing to bring. I just said that so she could get behind you.

[Cueball turns.]

Cueball: Who—

[Cueball is hit with his board.]

WHAM

[Nathan stands over a prone Cueball.]

Nathan: I just said that so I could get behind you. The serious fans always fall for the quotes.

[Wide panel of Summer crossing the finishing line on Nathan’s board, breaking through the tape.]

Announcer: And the winner is…

Off-screen voice: Summer Glau?

Summer: I swallowed a bug again.

[Close-up of Cueball’s beaten face.]

Cueball: All right, Fillion. I’ve had enough of your treachery and …rugged good looks. This ends here.

[Equally close-up: Nathan’s face, bearing several grazes.]

Nathan: All right, fanboy. Let this be our final battle.

[They rush at each other, fists ready to swing punches.]

Final battle canceled by Fox.
