In this final scene, the hero tries to convince the monster that he's the stronger of the two, but he can't bring himself to fight them. He's too scared to fight, and the only thing he can think of to do is grab a piece of clothing and melt it. The only thing the monster can do is look at him in the eye and think, "what of the girl" . The hero is horrified that the monster would do that to him. He says he'd like to hang up his sword if he ever had to fight a woman with her skin exposed, but the monsters are smarter than he is. They're smart enough to know that a woman's skin exposes her weaknesses, but they're not as smart as a man's. The monster asks the hero how he fared, and he says he didn't have a great time, but that's because he was so involved in the fight that he was willing to accept the money for the parts he returned. The narrator says that he thinks the two will meet anyway, and that they'll be able to have a good time. He has found a liquid fan that can only melt clothes, which he calls "erotica in real life." The narrator compares it to the stuff that happens when everyone's clothes are melted, which is what happens to heroines in smash-'em-up movies.
