Learning New Things About Ourselves Page #4

[Roman]:
I mean...

[Thomas]:
See? Totally normal.

[Roman]:
...just watch The Jungle Book.

[Logan]:
...or you could have seriously hurt someone.

[Virgil]:
Do you guys think it's easy to stay calm with you two arguing all the time??

[Patton]:
Okay, okay! Calm Down Time!

*Patton passes a coloring book to Roman*

[Roman]:
Ooo.

[Patton]:
I think we all need a little bit of... Not Talking Time! *passes fidget toy to Virgil* -nervous laugh- Alright... *tosses a Rubix cube to Logan* Here ya go, Logan.

[Thomas]:
Wow. -laughs- I mean, if only I could be settled that easil-

*Patton turns on TV*

[Thomas]:
Ooh. (Parks & Rec opening is heard)

[Virgil]:
I like the one with the buttons - wait, no! We do this too much!

[Thomas]:
Yeah, I really should start watching a different show.

[Patton]:
Yeah. (Turns off TV)

[Virgil]:
No, I mean, yes, you should but I'm talking about this! This is part of the problem. We keep having this same problem, but instead of facing it and fixing it, we just... find a distraction.

[Logan]:
*tosses completed Rubix cube away* Virgil's right. We argue and argue until it’s utter chaos, then you distract yourself and forget about the issue until you're reminded of it again. We're trapped in a figurative Sisyphean nightmare.

[Roman]:
You don't have to say "figurative" Logan. We know that we're not literally trapped in a nightmare. *shows drawing from coloring book* I drew a little outside the lines but I kind of like it.

[Logan]:
Reality is uncertain to the point that many of history's greatest philosophical minds have spent their entire lives questioning it. A little clarity never hurt anybody.

[Patton]:
Thomas, this cycle might be exactly what's causing these issues that are uptown funking you up.

[Thomas]:
Wait, so we're stuck in a loop?

[Patton]:
You can say that again.

[Thomas]:
We're stuck in a loop?

[Patton]:
You can say that again.

[Thomas]:
We're stuck in a loop?

[Patton]:
You can say that agai--

[Roman]:
Oh my gosh, I will kill both of you... with my bare hands! ...and this sword.

[Virgil]:
That just proved it. Loops are the worst.

[Patton]:
Hey, some loops are fun! Fruit..

*everyone waits for the rest of the word*

[Logan]:
Oh, he's done.

[Thomas]:
Oh I thought he was gonna- gonna list them out.

[Logan]:
No, that was his... that was his whole statement.

[Thomas]:
Okay. Well if I am in this so-called "loop"-

[Roman]:
You were the first person to call it a loop.

[Thomas]:
How do I get out of it?

[Virgil]:
The situation is pretty cut-and-dry, isn't it? You guys just cut it out.

[Roman]:
I'm doing nothing wrong.
