Matt: Lying doesn’t matter unless it’s really huge.
Matt: And even then, sometimes it doesn’t.
Matt: Like if you told me you just wrestled a giant octopus, even if you didn’t.
Matt: It’s not like that lie would hurt me.
Erin: EXACTLY
Matt: I’d be like “Huh. Giant Octopus. Good work.”
Erin: Okay. One day I’m going to dress up like a pirate and stand on the boardwalk and tell tourists about wrestling a giant octopus.
Erin: You could play the octupus and we could act it out.
Matt: Yes. People would be like “There’s no way you could beat a giant octopus! You’re just a girl!”
Matt: And then I would emerge from the shadows and you would kick me in the head.
Erin: Exactly!
Erin: And be victorious!
Matt: It would be about feminism, really.
Erin: It would be a postmodern statement about the state of women’s rights.
Erin: It would win awards.
