NOT THAT WIRE Flashcards
the mom character (13 cards)
I hate this.
You haven’t even given it a chance yet. You should…
No, I don’t.
You don’t need to feel insecure. It’s just new.
So are you going to tell me to “suck it up”?
No
Well that’s obvious. You’re just allowed to be a fuck up, but I am not. I don’t even have the right equipment. How can I succeed with zero equity? (The Phantom comes in with a shoebox and wire cutter) Oh shit.
Are you sure you know what you’re doing?
He’s only seen this on TV or Movies.
Great. We’re definitely gonna die
TWO; Well, that’s true. We’re definitely going to die. Probably sooner now. CUTTER: Hey!
Someday. Some day we die. It’s inevitable
I don’t want you to die. I don’t know what to do without…
I wouldn’t do that one
what? why not? How do you know
I don’t. It just looked like you were about to cut it and it looked wrong
This is your head game. Have I ever told you to “man up”?
Your father and I believe in you. Just… maybe… don’t cut that one.
Mom! You’re pointing to a completely different wire.
One way or another something is going to happen.Something always does. Like that time when you hit that rock on your bike and flew through the back window of Mom’s [my?] car.
Or when you hit your head doing a backflip off the diving board in Uncle Tom’s pool
Or when you thought you were going to be a pilot but went to clown college instead
See! I fuck everything up
But only one of those was an actual decision you made and you’ve always been afraid of falling
Seven… that’s a weird number
Five now
