( mssg » coop | sent ) I think they go out of town enough to know I don’t need an adult present, Coop.  They’re not coming back right away knowing you’re here?  Color me surprised.  Are we really having a party?  I mean.  It’s a great idea but is it?  If we get the house back together before Mom and Dad get home?  I think I could make this work.  🙂
( mssg » coop | sent ) Advil for the toe I jammed on your luggage.  No!  I don’t have a hangover!  I haven’t had one in months!
( mssg » coop | sent ) Shouldn’t have said that.  Forget the previous text.  On my way up.  Do you want a drink?  Food?  NyQuil?  Last call for anything from the kitchen.

‘Cray cray’ Anderson brothers party?  I don’t know if my friends are ready for that.  Maybe a small one.  If Mom and Dad stay gone.  Otherwise we’ll both be in trouble.
( mssg » coop | sent ) Advil for my smashed toe.  I don’t need any schooling tonight.  Way too late for that. I’m on my way up.  You need anything first?

No problemo, squirt. Listen—— I don’t coach just anyone in accents, but for my little bro? I gotta hook you up with some level five acting skills! Look, look, look, here comes a waitress. Watch && learn. Cooper grins from ear to ear && moves his stare upwards to eye the waitress that was walking to their table, before she got there Cooper glanced over at Blaine mischievously excited as if they were doing something they weren’t supposed to do.

We’re havin’ a whale of a time over here! Tried to go to a Chinese restaurant but it went all arseways on us! The bread sticks here are quare good, lassie. Quare good indeed. he exclaims over enthusiastically in his long time coming practiced Irish accent. At this point he was so proud of himself that when the waitress walked away to go refill their drinks, he let out a sound of awe.   That performance was outstanding. See, Blaine—– now that is how you be Irish.

His nostrils flared at the pet name but Blaine didn’t mention the dozens of times he asked Cooper to stop.  Cooper was on a roll and interrupting would only turn the focus back on him joining in.   “Watching and learning, Coop.” OH GOD!  Blaine realized this act was about to get a stage when Cooper’s eyes took on a mischievous spark.  His hand lifted from the table, fingers curled and pressed the knuckle of his pointerfinger against his upper lip.  No stopping this train. The waitress was going to get hit by it whether he tried to or not.

Blaine shrank to a small ball in his seat, feet coming off the floor and tucked under each thigh as he tried to virtually disappear the best he could.  He watched the look of confusion on her face, offered her a fast ‘sorry but he’s my brother’ smile and then snapped back to Cooper with a look of AWE.  “Yeah, wow.  Just..consider my mind blown.  It was that good.  Laddie,” maybe a little quip of an attempt that finished with a beaming smile and a tilt of one shoulder towards Cooper –check it out!  yeah?!–.  Didn’t hurt to give in a little, yeah?

gullible has a name. it’s cooper.

    ❛ ——–Wow, oh my god. I feel like a dumb ass now. I can’t believe I wasn’t picking up what you were putting down. Way to school your big bro, am I right? But I do, I get it now. I had no idea, Blainey. But now that you’ve cleared it up, I totes get the memo. You don’t wanna do the accent because you want to see the master of accents do it more first so you can learn. Nice thinking, can’t believe I didn’t think of that. 

image

      “No reason to feel dumb.  We were just on two different pages.  Now we aren’t.  Way to school my big bro, indeed.  Memo totes received.  Start from the beginning and I’ll make sure to pay closer attention this time.  Then maybe you can try teaching me that Cockney one again. After you’re done?  We’ll run through them all and see where I can improve.  Thanks, Coop.  I really appreciate this.”

stop calling me that.

      ❛ Are you kidding me, Blaine? There’s without a doubt nothing 
       embarrassing about this. It’s an acting exercise, for serious actors.
       If it was embarrassing, would I be doing it?? No. Because I’m
       pretty much the definition of coolness. I’m pushing you because I
       care. You have to stop thinking about next time && live in the now. 

image

      “I know.  Super serious.  I get it.  I just don’t think I’m up to your level, big brother.  I mean. You’re already a professional.  I appreciate you pushing me but if we focus too much on improving my skills?  How am I supposed to learn by watching your methods when I can’t concentrate on you and am more focused on adapting my own?  Think about it.  I only get a limited amount of time to see a real actor work.  I’ll do the accent once.  Then back to watching the MASTER so I can commit it all to memory before I lose my chance.”

really intense big brother.

 Squirt, c’mon—- this time you totally gotta do the Irish accent WITH me. You have to start practicing now if you wanna make it big time like your bro. America loves the Irish.

      “I told you to STOP calling me that years ago, Coop.  We’ve been working on yours for an hour.  I’m not sure I can catch up to how good you are.  Don’t wanna embarrass myself.  Maybe next time?”
