Random Writing Moment: "Angry Thing" bits

Working on storyboards and outlines of episodes. Had to chop this up and get away form a long-form way of looking at it, treat it more as something episodic then something serial. Clarifies it a bit and makes setting goals on it a bit easier. I fucking hate planning. Anyways, random bits of dialogue. Names and genders are still really up in the air on most of the characters. Nothing has quite felt 'right' yet so still playing with those. Been writing bits for them that are mostly going to be thrown away and are just exercises at getting in character.

Protaganist, "Why tell me all this? You expect me to do something about it?"

Character 4, "The point is to rattle your cage."
Character 4, "To wake you up and make you look at the prison you've been in since birth."
Character 4, "You can't escape from it, but you'll recognize it for what it is now."

Protaganist, "So the point is to piss me off and give me nightmares about Cabbage Patch dolls?"

Character 4, "It is what it is, an ontological pyrrhic victory."

Character X, "What is that, what the fuck are you doing?"

Protaganist, "Cigarette butts. My little bit to help fight the litter problem."

Character 2, "And you decided this was a good time to learn to finger paint with them?"

Protaganist, "Shut up already, will you. This is thaumaturgy, magic, symbolism..."
Protaganist, "Every cigarette is a nail in someones coffin..."
Protaganist, "Coffins are nailed shut to keep the dead in and the living out..."
Protaganist, "Ring of coffin nails around us, bury us in our symbolic coffin..."

Character X, "He is fucking mental, isn't he?"

Character 2, "Mental is the fact he was carrying those in his pocket for just this sort of occasion."
