Comments on: Chapter 2 - Page 39 http://www.scwonkey.com/2008/02/29/chapter-2-page-39/ The Adventures Continue Wed, 07 Jan 2009 09:16:24 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: admin http://www.scwonkey.com/2008/02/29/chapter-2-page-39/#comment-8 admin Sat, 01 Mar 2008 17:27:14 +0000 http://www.scwonkey.com/2008/02/29/chapter-2-page-39/#comment-8 They don't HAVE to accept it -- they don't hear about it, because Leonard has enough money and charisma to make it all go away. (See next page, when I post it.) Speaking of whom ... everyone accepts Leonard because chicks dig the ears, but remember Jenn's reaction when he pulled the gloves off? Heck, remember Nathan's reaction when Zappy said he was "just in the neighborhood"? "What, with a paper bag over your head?" On the last page of Chapter 1, Leonard makes a big deal about how easily Jenn accepted Dante Brooks's whole spiel about Leonard being half-alien -- his whole point was that a normal person wouldn't have accepted all that so easily. And if you go back through Chapter 2, look at Danielle -- our one normal person in this chapter -- every time she shows up, she's screaming, fainting, freaking out -- and as Vanessa says, now, it's all gonna be just a bad dream. See, it's all there ... just, I guess, too damn subtle. Oh well. Mind you, people are going to have to accept the weirdness to some extent in a few chapters' time, when all the charm and bribery in the world aren't going to be able to cover things of a certain scale up -- but for now, when Leonard tells the media that he was financing a movie and some props unfortunately caught on fire and exploded, and that's all that was, people are going to believe him ... ... because people are STUPID. They don’t HAVE to accept it — they don’t hear about it, because Leonard has enough money and charisma to make it all go away. (See next page, when I post it.)

… because people are STUPID.
