Italy! You're going to be late for the morning drill!
Let me tell you about this judo trick I learned back in Japan...
I'm up! I'm up!
Italy!
Oversleeping again?!
Don't catch a cold.
Japan!
Hey, why don't you watch a movie with me?
It'll just be an hour or two!
What, is this another horror movie or something?
Yeah!
I'm too scared to watch it alone!
America's Ghostly Situation
Thank goodness!
Now the scariness will be divided between the both of us.
Have you considered just not watching it at all?
Well, I'm a hero, you know.
Okay...
Here we go!
It's not every day you see America shaking in his boots like this...
This thing must be pretty hardcore.
Good evening,
you foolish lambs who dare to open the forbidden door!
I'll be serving as your guide.
Allow me to show you horrors unlike you've ever known before.
Now...
Do enjoy your stay.
Now it is time for you to enter the first level of darkness.
See this picture?
I wonder if you can understand the horror contained within.
There's something in this picture that doesn't belong.
What might that be?
It's him!
This is...
It's a picture of a ghost!
Scary! So scary!!
I'm scared! I'm scared! I'm scared! I'm scared!
This is the scariest thing I've ever seen!
Scary!
Scary! Scary! Scary!
Scary! Scary!
I'm scared!
Mr. America, take a deep breath and examine it more closely.
It's this.
No!
Taking a deep breath won't do anything! No way!
Come on, just look at it closely.
Look near the ghost.
See?
This is scary!
If you keep looking at it, you'll start...
...feeling sorry for him.
There's something wrong with you!
Man, I'm so glad that's over.
I almost pissed my pants!
Right.
Then why did you watch it?
It was so scary!
But I managed to watch the entire thing!
You didn't have to watch it at all...
Hey, Japan, I actually have another favor to ask.
No.
Will you-
No.
Mr. America, you're going to have a hard life ahead of you if watching a movie freaks you out that much.
I'll lend you some survival horror games,
so you can desensitize yourself to this stuff.
Yeah, I think I can handle it if it's in video game form.
So, Japan, can we-
The Next Day
Hello, Mr. America.
Did you enjoy the games?
I refuse to believe that they were so frightening you froze up in your chair.
J...
Japan...
Why are you running away?
Am I that scary?
Yes, you are!
I don't know what you're up to, but stop it!
Those games were really fun!
Man, that monster was cute!
Huh? "Cute"?
Yeah! Huh? Don't tell me you're afraid of it.
You're such a weird guy.
Japan sighed deeply,
knowing that he'd never be able to understand what America thought was frightening.
Hey hey Pops, gimme a coca-cola!
Hey hey Ma, hey hey Ma!
I can't forget that taste
of that fresh apple pie I ate before!
Draw a circle, and there's Earth!
I'm America.
Ah, a fabulous world
that can be seen with a single paintbrush swipe.
Both my beef and my dreams are super-sized!
America!
