I’m just saying that
Statistically
I have more of a right
To be proud
Than you
About this
Okay?
I get that life
And stuff
Things
Are hard
For you
I get that
I see the one arm
I know what’s going on there
I understand that there aren’t a lot of
Uh, parts
For people with, uh
You know
One arm
But, like, along comes
This Broadway play
Where they’re looking for someone
With one arm
And, I mean, let’s be honest
There aren’t a ton of options there
So you just stroll in
Just so casual
About the whole thing
Because you know
You’ve got, like
Statistically
A way better shot
At getting that role
Than anybody else
Because, like, it’s a play
What are they going to do?
Green screen somebody
With two arms?
I don’t think so
It’s theater
So it needs to be, uh
Yeah, you know
Real
And there you are
With your one arm
Looking all smug
With your one arm
Looking all smug
So yes, you’re in a Broadway play
Congratulations
Super happy for you
But also?
I’m in the play too
And I have both my arms
So...
I think we need to--okay?
I'm just pointing out
That I went into the auditionSo...
I think we need to--okay?
I'm just pointing out
And there were like, and--
I’m not just saying this
There were a million other options
In terms of, like
The role I was up for
In terms of, like
The role I was up for
And I still got it
Over millions
Of other people
I got it
I got it
You got the role over
Maybe one other person
If there happened to be
Another one-armed girl
Who could act
But that seems
Highly unlikely
Maybe one other person
If there happened to be
Another one-armed girl
Who could act
But that seems
Highly unlikely
So I just think that
You know
Statistically
I have more of a right
To be proud
Than you do
And when I heard you say
That we should all be proud
There was a part of me that--
This is honesty talking now
So just don't get--but--
This is honesty talking now
So just don't get--but--
There was a part of me
That was like--
No
No, we should not all be proud
We can all be happy
Sure
Of course
I would never tell you that you can’t be--
Because I’m sure
You’ve had a harder life than me
...Depending on what your definition of hard is
Like I had overbite as a kid
And you have one arm
And so there are levels of, like, hard
And so there are levels of, like, hard
But yeah, be happy
You’re on Broadway
I’m on Broadway
Let’s all be happy
But as far as proud goes--
I think we need to look at
You know
The statistics
Because statistically speaking
I just have way more reasons
To be proud than you do
About this
Particular
Thing
I earned my pride, okay?
I earned it
You just lost an arm
Or, like, weren't born with one
Whatever
Or, like, weren't born with one
Whatever
That was it
It’s like when, like, survivors
Of some tragedy
Like a shipwreck or something
Get called ‘heroes’
Like, they’re not heroes
They just didn’t die
That doesn’t make them heroes
You know?
And that’s like you
And that’s like you
You’ve got one arm
And you’re an actor
In a show
Playing a character
With one arm
You’re lucky
You’re not a hero
And you should be happy
About that
But not proud
No
Pride?
Pride is for me
For people like me
People
Who really
Earned it
