Explosive Rivalry (Kay and Katyusha)

Kay

Check it out! The Fat Man atomic bomb replica. This baby packed more than 20 kilotons of TNT!

Kay

American engineering at its finest. Nothing could compare to our firepower during the war.

Katyusha

Nonsense! The Soviet RDS-6 thermonuclear device was far superior! Look at the streamlined design!

Katyusha

Soviet bombs had more efficient payload-to-weight ratios! Everyone knows this!

Kay

Ha! More efficient? Is that what they taught you at Pravda? Bigger isn't always better, but in this case, America went BIG!

Kay

(She's cute when she gets all worked up about Soviet superiority.)

Katyusha

(I can barely see the specifications from down here... why must they put everything so high up!)

Katyusha

The tonnage is clearly stated right there... if I could just read it...

Katyusha

The Tsar Bomba was over 50 megatons! That's 3,800 times more powerful than your pitiful Fat Man!

Katyusha

The Soviet Union always had the most powerful weapons! That's historical fact!

Kay

That's from the Cold War era though. We're talking about WWII bombs in this exhibit!

Kay

Let me check the specs... hmm, this plaque is a bit faded...

Katyusha

Why do they make these displays so tall? How am I supposed to see the tonnage numbers from down here?!

Katyusha

(If only Nonna were here to lift me up...)

Kay

Need a boost, commander? I could lift you up so you can see your precious Soviet bomb better.

Kay

Or would accepting American help damage your communist pride?

Katyusha

I don't need your capitalist assistance! I can see it perfectly well myself!

Katyusha

(Just a little higher and I can prove Soviet superiority once and for all!)

Kay

I'm just gonna look up the exact specifications online. Let's settle this with facts.

Kay

According to this website, the American B-29 could carry... wait, what are you doing?!

Katyusha

Wha—! The bench is unstable!

Katyusha

Help! I'm going to fall!

Kay

Katyusha! Hold on!

Kay

(If she pulls down that display, we're both in serious trouble!)

Katyusha

Kyaaaaa!

Katyusha

(The great Katyusha cannot end like this!)

Katyusha

The alarm! Kay, what have you done?!

Katyusha

Security is coming! This is all your fault!

Kay

We're really sorry about this. We got a little carried away with our historical debate.

Kay

We're tank commanders, you see. We get passionate about military history.
