Give Me Some Breath
Good lord, Elizabeth loves the sound of her own voice. Looks like nothing has changed there. I still remember when she wouldn’t drop it after I apologised for trying to teach her about the true origins of her tarot cards.
Before we get to Her, we start by showing us that Georgie Boy has always been a ne'er-do-well and has a storied history with those other groups who were trying to mimic us, but were actual dickholes about it.
When he hitched himself to our wagon, he and Bitchy Richie loved to partake in a little sniff-sniff and a little wiff-wiff from time to time. Never thought to invite the rest of us, but clearly, they had a phenomenal enough time without us.
But that’s when we found out that of course, George is actually a softie and “only fucked up that kid’s life to save him from a worse fate”. Get your head out of your own ass for a moment, “Earsplitting” Elizabeth and think about someone other than your-fucking-self.
From the rumours I heard* about what him and Elizabeth got up to, it wasn’t the only place he was a “softie”.
* I don’t want anyone else to claim credit for those rumours because it was me who started them and they’re fucking hilarious.
Then “Gutless” George gets overwhelmed by the pressure (that nobody was putting on him because nobody thought about him for more than a second) and bolts out of town. I remember when this happened because, like I said, nobody thought for a moment that they should chase after him. At that time, I knew Richie’s whereabouts every single second. I knew whenever she took a sip of a drink, and what she was drinking. She’d be able to help pass some of the straws that these supposed journalists are grasping at.
And then, thanks to his disastrous hair and fashion sense, we finally find out what happened to him. I’ll bet those late-night druggie sessions with just you and Richie don’t seem so smart now, do they “Gone Nuts” George. So addicted to your own poison that it finally consumes you in the end and forces you to walk off a plank to drown in all of our indifference.
And as always, I completely disagree with the episode’s conclusion. I do agree that George and Elizabeth fucked themselves over, but there’s no way that Richie was involved. She was a try-hard who tried so hard that she convinced others that she was up to something. I’m telling you that that’s not who she was. I was there!!!
But I don’t mind being the logical voice of reason. I’m used to it.
