LESS THAN A MINUTE LEFT: ONTO THE GRAND FINALE!!!

Your idea of commanding the respect of others is... for them to use your name? and pronouns? And be treated as...

..an Equal?

Not to strike terror and anguish into the hearts of your enemies? Not to subjugate the weak? Not to bring empires to their knees? Not to inflict untold pain and suffering across the cosmos?

You sicken me. As always, you lesser beings lack vision. You require only a small, insipid body for a small and insipid mind.

Of course your kind could never conceive of being anything more than what you are, that you would transition that miserable, shambling sack of organic material you call a body into something equally dull and unimaginative. You transition, but you never transcend.

A very tiny percentage of creators go on to be famous, but that doesn’t mean that people don’t remember little things you did for years and years. Who came up with most of the world’s most famous jump rope rhymes? Who coined some of the famous idioms we use in daily speech? Who made up ‘Jingle Bells, Batman Smells?” Somehow, all of these things stuck and spread around.

When I was a small child, I saw a high school put on a production of the musical HONK. In one song, the mother duck describes various dangers that her baby should avoid in the water, including fishing line, which could strangle him. A member of the ensemble played the role of fishing line, doing a maniacal laugh and over-the-top strangling motions, and I found it hilarious– and to this day, that’s an example I often think of when talking about how ensemble members can still stand out in theatre. The guy who played the role might not even remember that he did that, but I do.

I took Suzuki violin lessons as a kid. The teacher made up lyrics to some of the songs, and she let her students make some up, too. Now whenever I hear the instrumental of one of those pieces, I always remember these ridiculous lyrics about a skunk that we sang in violin class. I don’t even know which student invented them!

In middle school, I found a video about atoms parodying Bill Nye made by some kids for a school product. It probably had less than 1,000 views, but I think of quotes from that video all the time. They had a parody of “We Will Rock You” with the chorus, “Protons, neutrons, electrons” that I think about a lot.
