painstakingly dialing marioâs landline on a comically small telephone only for luigi to pick up instead and he has to ask him to put his brother on the phone. not that luigi isnât part of weekend plans, but like this is really more of a mario & bowser situation and itâd be rude to drag his brother into it if thereâs a problem. so anyway then luigi puts the receiver down to go get his brother and bowser sits there tapping his claws on his table and this is agony, actually, he shouldnât have called at all, itâs late enough at his castle so it has to be even later over in the mushroom kingdom. but just as heâs about to put the phone down, mario answers all chipperâmario mario speaking, whoâs-a calling? which is a ridiculous question because thereâs no way luigi didnât already tell him.âand bowser has to ask him. look, mario, i know i dangled peach in a bird cage over a pit of lava the other day, and when you showed up, i let my son throw giant flaming hammers at you, and thereâs no hard feelings about that, right? and thereâs a few seconds of silence before mario laughs and reassures him itâs all in the dayâs work of a plumber, an explanation bowser has never thought to really question since he only knows two plumbers and it does all seem pretty in their wheelhouse. and then heâs embarrassed for worrying so much so he tries to end the call quickly, but mario just ribs him about how badly heâs going to lose the next race, and then he starts asking bowser how junior is, and does bowser want any of the leftovers since he and luigi really do cook way too much for two, be a shame to let it go to waste. and by the time bowser manages to hang up, this has gone from leftovers into him and junior and the koopalings all being invited over to the mario household for dinner, so long as they donât park their airship on the front lawn and leave the cannons at home.
