Siamese Twins Discuss Their Summer Reading Schedule of Middlemarch for AP English

June 30, 2010

Steven: I thought we’d do three chapters a day until we finish.

Stewart: How many chapters are there?

Steven: There are eight books.

Stewart: Eight sections?

Steven: Yes.

Stewart: Why can’t you just say sections?

Steven: Because she calls them books.

Stewart: Who does?

Steven: George Eliot.

Stewart: Why did you call George Eliot she?

Steven: Because George Eliot is a woma–

Stewart: Oh. Is George Eliot a woman, Steven?

Steven: Stop fucking with me.

Stewart: I told you that George Eliot was a woman and you didn’t believe me.

Steven: That’s not true. I believed you.

Stewart: Sure you did.

Steven: Anyway…three chapters a day?

Stewart: Or you could just read it all.

Steven: Come on, man. It’s not enough for me to get into a good college, you’ve got to get in to.

Stewart: I won’t go to an Ivy.

Steven: Fuck you.

Stewart: I don’t want to be part of a system that perpetuates class distinctions.

Steven: It was probably a Harvard professor who came up with that.

Stewart: Yeah, no one in Europe has ever talked about class distinctions before.

Steven: You know what I mean.

Stewart: And what about traveling?

Steven: We can travel later.

Stewart: Later? We’ve only got three kidneys. The clock’s ticking, Steven.

Steven: Are you going to do the reading or not.

Stewart: Why don’t you do that thing where you dream it and I remember it.

Steven: Why don’t you take some responsibility for once?

Stewart: Why don’t you stop wetting the bed?

Steven: One time, I did that one time! I was drunk.

Stewart: We were drunk.
