Little scene I wrote for the aftermath of Norm Unleashed with Doofenshmirtz having a talk with Norm
Norm perked up at the sound of the slamming door, his creator Dr Heinz Doofenshmirtz had returned from jury duty! He didn't know jury duty could last for weeks but nonetheless he was happy they could both finally enjoy what he made together.
“Norm!” the disgruntled scientist yelled.
“Father!” He said as cheerfully as a monotone robot could. Vanessa walked in to greet her Dad.
“When I told you to surprise me, I did not mean to try and kill the entire Tri-State Area! What on Earth were you even thinking?!” he barked out to Norm.
Vanessa spun on her heel and turned back to her bedroom, “Nope. Not my problem.”
Norm stood there with his muffin tray, “I tried my best. Would you like a muffin?”
“Do you understand why I'm upset?” Doofenshmirtz snapped out with a furious look in his eye.
“Because I failed at taking over the Tri-State Area?”
Doofenshmirtz shook his head and threw out his arms, “No. No!” he screamed. Doofenshmirtz had yelled at the robot before for burning muffins and setting off the sprinklers. He's been yelled at for spilling coffee on his blueprints. But the way he yelled now had more sting and severity than ever before, “Listen to me, you do NOT kill people for NO reason!! Don't you ever try to do that again! Do you understand me!?”
“No, I do not. The reason is to assert dominance.” Norm said in a tone more brightly than it warranted.
Doofenshmirtz let out a frustrated growl, “Norm you cannot just kill people for just existing, that's just cruel.”
“But you're an evil scientist.”
“Look, there's good evil and there's bad evil, and what you attempted to do was downright terrible.”
“Well your plan is to use your foolish contraptions for whatever pathetic reason and get nothing done. Guns get results.”
He stared at the killer robot incredulously, blinking at him.
“Norm, what do you even THINK my goals are to believe that homicide is a correct solution?”
“To control the Tri State Area.”
“And you think weapons are the answer?” he said, judgemental.
“Violence is a very efficient way to establish dominance. That's why people go to War, because War works.”
“That's never worked,” Doofenshmirtz said flatly.
“No war just leaves you with more problems and no solutions. Imagine having a problem with someone and deciding to make that EVERYONE'S problem. That's just stupid.”
“I just don't understand the point of wasting your time making failure after failure.” Norm gave him a bitter look.
“You really think killing everyone is the answer?”
“Yes!” he balled his fists.
“Including Perry the Platypus?”
Norm gave an unsure look, relaxing his posture.
Norm was silent. He hadn't thought that far.
“What would you even get out of completely destroying what you want to control? Tell me Norm. If you still successfully killed and destroyed the entire Tri-State-Area what does that leave you with? What satisfaction do you get from that? Nothing! Just rubble and remains.”
“Also you were very rude to Perry the Platypus! You better apologize! You're lucky I trusted that he'd be able to take care of whatever mess you ended up making. You'll never have a real nemesis if you kill everyone who gets in your way. That's a sad way to live Norm. Nothing to fight for and nothing to fight against.”
Norm stared at the floor, trying to think of his goals and aspirations. All he really wanted was to make Doofenshmirtz happy. But if Doofenshmirtz is gone then he has no Doofenshmirtz to be proud of him. He tried to imagine his life if he succeeded to dominate the world through violence. He couldn't imagine anything else but violence. Violence and Muffins. But there would be no one to enjoy his muffins.
“If Norm kills everyone, then no one loves Norm,” said the robot.
“Exactly,” Doofenshmirtz said, exasperated and let out a long sigh, “Now if you ever make another homicide attempt I will deactivate you for good,” he walked away muttering inaudibly to himself, “I don't even know why I bother with you.” He took one of Norm's muffins and grabbed a glass of milk. Vanessa popped out of her room to grab a muffin and followed her Dad to say something to him. He saw Doofenshmirtz smiling at her and said something back.
Norm sat in his closet thinking about what he was told. Maybe homicide could never fill the empty void inside him.
