Text

“This is a cartoon. That’s what we’re doing. A cartoon. You keep trying to turn it into a Drama.

I just think, if we’re giving everything motivations, then where’s the power, where’s the joy. No motivation, no consequence, that’s the point of a cartoon. Where else do we get to experience that, nowhere.

[...]

Go to one of the Dramas. I heard that blonde in The West Wing, the one on the Louisville circuit, is pretty sick. Maybe they’ll take you in there.”
