Look, guys, you sigh, matching Tucker’s previous gesture with one of your own, you’re… you’re <span class="mu-i">honored</span> that this is what they’re choosing to work on, okay?
“Don’t be–we’re getting paid for it, y’know.” Says Eddie with a playful smile!
Well <span class="mu-i">DUH,</span> you shrug, but you want them to know that you really appreciate it… especially with so many people writing it off as some kind of <span class="mu-r">WIFI DISASTER!</span>
“Stan…” Tucker asks in a cautious tone, “This… is the beginning of a ‘<span class="mu-i">Compliment Sandwich</span>’, isn’t it?”
You said it already, you groan, you wanted <span class="mu-s">MASHED POTATOES AND COOKIES!</span>
… and maybe some, like, really fancy <span class="mu-i">cheese</span> too, now that you think about it.
A-anyways, you continue as the passenger in your belly gives you another light kick, can, uh, can you be honest?
“Would saying ‘<span class="mu-i">no</span>’ stop you?”
Hah! Good one! So look, you huff, you know they’ve been working hard on all this, but the script-
“... needs to be more realistic.”
Glancing towards Eddie at his response, you give him a resigned ‘<span class="mu-i">yep</span>’. As the two film students give each other a knowing look, they turn to you and respond with a nod.
“Stan,” Eddie sighs, “What you accomplished, well…”
“A movie will never do it enough justice.” Concludes Tucker with a sheepish grin forming on his face. “But even so, you <span class="mu-i">saved</span> us.”
“Not just <span class="mu-i">us</span>, us…” Eddie laughs, “But probably everyone else as well–hell, maybe even <span class="mu-b">THE WORLD!</span>”
W-well okay, now, you giggle as you feel heat rise in your cheeks, you uh… you didn’t do <span class="mu-s">THAT</span> mu-
“C’mon, Stan!” Groans Eddie with growing irritation, “Quit being modest already and accept it already–you’re a goddamn <span class="mu-s">HERO!</span>”
“And even if the rest of the world won’t recognize it,” Tucker concludes, “We’ll do our best to honor that… and if that means reshooting the movie eighty more times, well…”
He sends a hopeful grin Eddie’s way.
“Well, that’s fine by me if <span class="mu-i">you’re</span> the one asking.”
