Angry Mel You can’t tell me what to do! You’re not the boss of me!

Mark You really need to put down the yo-yo.

Angry Mel But it’s fun!

Mark And you’ve already broken a lamp.


Mel It was my lamp and I can break it if I want to.

Mark So you wanted to break that lamp?

Happy Mel Yes, I didn’t like it.

Mark I see.

Happy Mel That lamp was not half as important as learning this yo-yo trick.

Mark Is flinging the yo-yo around and spazzing out really a trick?

Angry Mel It’s complicated!

Mark No, that looked sort of easy. You just wildly flail and the yo-yo goes everywhere.

Angry Mel That’s not the trick!

Mark Oh. So what’s the trick?

Mel See the yo-yo is supposed to go up over your head and then down around your arm, like a snake, before you snap it back out and spin it and then sleep it and…

Mark You’re making this up as you go, aren’t you?

Mel I’ll have you know I’m innovating.

Mark Is that what it is?

Mel I am an innovator.

Mark You’re Gozer, the destructor is what you are.

Angry Mel Then choose the form of your destruction!

Mark Can it not be a yo-yo?

Angry Mel Mark!

Happy Mark I do not want to be found dead due to yo-yo related injuries.

Mel I will not hurt you.

Mark Are you sure?

Mel …no?

Happy Mark Put the yo-yo down, Melina.

Angry Mel I can get this trick. Just you watch!

Mark Can I watch from a bunker?

Angry Mel Mark!

Happy Mark Just asking!

Happy Mel You’ll see! Here, watch!

Angry Mark Ow!

Sad Mel I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean to…

Angry Mark Give me the yo-yo.

Sad Mel But!

Mark Hand it over.

Sad Mel But!

Mark We can get you a safe toy. Like… air. You can play with air.

Sad Mel Awww, man.

Mark Now, where do you keep the band-aids?
