Tom and Donna help Ben cope with the breakup with Leslie. They get into the idea of being his sidekicks and dress accordingly.
Ben: Listen, I just want to apologize for being all weird the other day, you know? I didn’t wanna, like, burden you or anything.
Donna: It’s not a burden when you talk to your friends, dude. It’s called being a normal human being.
Tom: Yeah, Ben, we’re your friends. We’re like, your sidekicks.
Ben: Okay, yeah, I see where this is going, and I’m totally fine with it.
Tom: Every hero needs a sidekick.
Ben: Alright.
Tom: Even The Dark Knight!
