Rant – Being Olivia
Rod: Sorry, pal. As they say on Earth, “First come, first served.”
Barry: But why do you always get to be the fun characters?
Rod: I do not!
Barry: Yes you do!
Rod: Prove it!
Barry: In the Watchgeeks wallpaper, you got to be Rorschach!
Rod: But in the “Harry Potter” spoof wallpaper, YOU got to be Harry!
Barry: Okay, I’ll give you that one.
Rod: Thank you.
Barry: But why do YOU get to be Olivia?
Rod: Because of my natural charm…
Barry: Yeah, right….
Rod: My ability to be anyone I wish…..
Barry: Suuuuure……
Rod: And I’ve got great taste in Earth clothing.
Barry: Do you have a fever when you tell that many lies?
Rod: And the fact that putting them under our control was my idea.
Barry: Don’t remind me. We are going to be in so much trouble over this.
Rod: Do you do anything besides worry?
Barry: Okay, so you are going to be Olivia. Now we just have to get you an appropriate dress and some makeup.
Rod: Wait, dress like a girl? Maybe I should rethink this…
Barry: Nope! Too late! I’m going to make you look SO girlie…
Rod: Wait! You tricked me! That’s not fair!
Barry: Well, as they say on Earth, “Life is not always fair”. Hahahahaha!
Rod: Ok, you win. I think I saw what we need back that way…
