Five wants to SCREAM, he takes in a LARGE breath  like he wants to but the voice that comes out sounds  off like a recording, it's WAY too cheery, but he hopes  the stern look he has is enough to get it across how  he feels about stepping into Steve’s car. He rather  walk. 

“No, sirree.” It's a MOTHERLY voice that comes out.  “No, sirree. No way. Can’t.” A pause, and another  voice follows, a kids voice. Still not his own, never  his own. “Too small. Toooooo small.”
