The All New Watchmen Prequel #1 - exclusive script extract
Panel 1: We are in an office. Dr Manhattan and The Comedian are talking. Dr Manhattan is just wearing pants
The Comedian: Urgh, you’re almost naked
Dr Manhattan: I have always been almost naked now. In the future I will always be naked. In seventy eight minutes I will go and have dinner with Laurie. She will cry.
Panel 2: We are now behind an observation window. Two men in suits are standing there, watching Dr Manhattan and The Comedian
Government Psychologist #1: Why is he only wearing pants anyway?
Government Psychologist #2: As he becomes less and less connected with human society the abstract social mores that we have constructed have less and less relevance to his mind. It is likely in time that he will reject all of our manners out of hand, not from rebellion but because they have no meaning to him anymore.
Goverment Psychologist #1: I see. It all makes sense now.
