You have to get me out of here! You have to get me off this thing! I'm not supposed to be here! I'm trapped on uh, hold on, I'll get the coordinates, I'm at--That's why you're calling me Nine. Because I'm on Pioneer 9. Are you on Pioneer 10? Where are you? That's why we're so far apart? Because I'm in space?
If they'd just worked together, think of the amazing game they could have made. They could have made something really cool. Like some kind of wild maze or whatever, I don't know. Something that was ten thousand feet tall.
But they don't want that. Or maybe they do on some level, and they can't work together. It's hideous.Well, they've got to keep trying. It's their purpose. They have to see what's out there. They have all the time in the world to figure out some kind of solution. They have to keep trying. It can't just stop here. The stars must be explor--
Hooooof we should probably ... we gotta see this one. Nine, you wanna watch some football?
// Wait, where are we going?
Up here, dummy.// Uh, the readability of this is kindaShut the fuck up.// Okay.As I was saying. People have found their home and their eternity. They have decided that this is their final state.The Livermore Bulb probably did not have a soul. It was largely glass and filament through which electricity ran. It did not know us, and it did not know its own royalty.
.ham cheese. ham cracker. cheese cracker. ham and cheese cracker. ham and cheese.could even do it like a little big mac so it's like cracker ham cheese cracker ham cheese cracker
the Steelers exist, but barely. their territory, which once covered half the field, is now reduced to a single, tiny corner. they would've disappeared from the field entirely were it not for the Broncos, who leveraged whatever political power they had to ensure their opponent was still in the game. there's one Steelers player who still comes back every 500 years or so. they call him the Last Steeler. he just kinda drags a stool out there and sits there for an afternoon and then leaves.
the current president is your 3,831st president. so like one in 85,000 people in america were president at some point. by that ratio, there are like 15 former presidents living in indianapolis alone. so who gives a shit right
Lines are from Jason Durabo, but I'll also be casting using auditions from this role:
Aaron, Danny, Micah (were tracking Nancy)
I ended up just begging this one guy for his Detmer autographed ball, and he was like, "sure, this thing wouldn't get me more than 25 bucks anyway." I stole a second one out of a basement in Colorado, where he played college ball. Kind of got lucky with that one. So I took those two, drove up to Montana, went deep into the woods, and buried them for safekeeping.
After those first 19 were claimed, there were years and years of gridlock. One guy was dumb enough to keep his football on him. He had too many at a bar in Illinois, ran his mouth a little too much, got his ass beat, lost the ball. There were a couple stories like that. But by and large, that stage of the game was mostly about digging up forgotten Detmer balls. The ones that were sitting in attics and old boxes for 15,000 years and forgotten about.Hmm ... I'm gonna say one in ... let's just keep it easy. One in a hundred homes has a piano in it.// Sure, we'll use that. And the population of Chicago is like three billion.Three billion?// Million. Three million.You said billion. I swear you said billion.
Lines are from Emily Durabo, but I'll also be casting using auditions from this role:
You know what, Lori? You know what? That is a good question.I told him, "listen, J. I changed my name for you once. I'm not gonna do it again."But then after a while, it just got obnoxious. Durabo and Durazo, Durabo and Durazo, whenever we'd get wedding invites, whenever we were in the news together. So I gave in.
Uh, yeah. Let me just butt in here, Lori? That was against my rules. I was like, J, you are not taking money out of our account so you can buy the damn football. When I played, you know how I got the ball? I forced fumbles and I caught the ball, and your punk ass is doing the same.
