| Jeremy Irons |
 Title text: Movies that I know word-for-word, part one |
Explanation
Similar to the "My Hobby" series, this comic depicts one of Randall's goals in life: He wants to hire Academy-Award-winning actor Jeremy Irons to deliver all of Randall's dialogue in life (while Randall, perhaps, lip syncs it). He is apparently basing this desire on the fact that Irons, a clasically trained English actor, portrayed Scar, the main antagonist in the 1994 Disney animated feature The Lion King.
The line that is spoken in the comic is from the song "Be Prepared" which Scar sings in the film. Thus, it's not entirely clear whether Randall enjoys Irons's deep, rumbling British-accented voice, or whether it's Scar's dialogue in the film that Randall truly would like to be speaking.
The title text suggests that Randall knows the dialogue of The Lion King from memory; it also suggests there are others he knows as well. He is around the appropriate age to have been in the target market for the film (he would have been around 10 at the time) and probably saw it many times.

I don't think the words that are bolded in the transcript are meant to be that way. In earlier comics, such as this, the writing wasn't as neat. I think the bold should be taken off. 173.245.54.175 01:14, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
- I checked the comic, and I believe that you are right. I changed the transcript. If anyone more experienced than I feels that I did so wrongly, then feel free to revert the page. Educatedtiger(talk) 09:38, 14 November 2014 (UTC)
