Blue Raja's mother : [the Blue Raja's mom walks in on him, in full costume, rummaging through her silverware drawer] Jeffrey, what are you doing?
The Blue Raja : Um, I was just, um, uh, um, I'm, uh...
[shifts to British accent]
The Blue Raja : I'm a superhero, mother.
Blue Raja's mother : A superhero?
The Blue Raja : An effete British superhero, to be precise. I am pilfering your tableware because I hurl it. I hurl it with a deadly accuracy. The Blue Raja is my name. And yes, I know I don't wear much blue and I speak in a British accent, but if you know your history it really does make perfect sense. The point is, your boy's a limey fork-flinger, Mother.

Blue Raja's mother : You need more forks?

The Blue Raja : Well, I'd better get going. I got a city to save.
Blue Raja's mother : Jeffrey?
The Blue Raja : Yeah.
Blue Raja's mother : Do the accent.
The Blue Raja : Oh. Uh, well...
[shifts to British accent]

Blue Raja's mother : Jeffrey?
The Blue Raja : Yeah?
Blue Raja's mother : Cheerio.
The Blue Raja : Mother, I really should get going.
Blue Raja's mother : Oh. Oh, okay.
The Blue Raja : Thanks, Mom.
[He hugs and kisses her before leaving]
