Alright, let’s go. That was our last five minutes, get up. If today’s the day we said we were gonna do it, today’s the day we’re gonna do it. C’mon, get up. We’re not gonna spend another day in bed.
Good, sitting up is good. Good start. Two feet on the floor; we’re on a roll. Anything’s fine to wear, just get over to the dresser, avoid the mirror, and now that we’re over here we might want to consider wearing something nice today. Seeing as how today’s the day. Alright, good choice, very professional-looking. We may even want to take a look in the mirror, that’d probably be fine.
A banana, good thinking. We’re gonna want to have eaten today. Plus, the positive effects it’ll have on our mood should help.
Look at us, right through the elevator, straight out the door, keys in the ignition, we are on fire today. We are like some kind of well-oiled nine-to-fiver, man. Not bad. And a peel-out to boot, nice touch.
Ok, plug in the address on our phone aaaaaand ok, perfect, 4 miles away, and we’ve got twenty minutes until we told ourself to get there, no sweat, no bad vibes yet. Time even to stop for some coffee, get even a little more juiced up. Today is, remember, the day. And I’ve got you through the whole thing, because we said that on 'the day' we’d want to have some steady source of strength, somebody in our corner, so don’t worry, a cup of coffee and then we pull up with time to spare and everything’ll be fine. Nothing like last time, I promise.
See? Keys back in your pocket and we still have 5 whole minutes until 9:00. Cigarette? Not a bad idea, take care of some nerves, although, remember, a small degree of nerves before an appointment is perfectly normal. Time only for half of it, though, stomp it out, now we go inside. Ok, relax, there’s an open teller, just take a breath, loosen up a bit, and walk on over.
“Hi.”
“Hello, sir, can I help you?”
“Yes, I wanted to talk to somebody about a loan.”
“I can certainly help with that, have a seat.”
“Thank you.”
“So, do you currently have a loan with the bank or would you like to apply for a loan.”
“Yes, apply.”
“Ok, well, there are a few matters concerning our policies that I’ll explain, but first I can show you some templates of the basic format of the application-”
“Um, well, it’s for something that’s probably kind of unique, so I don’t know if…”
“…Unique?”
“Yea, that would be the best way to describe it.”
“How do you mean?”
“I’d, um, rather not say.”
Ok, we can do this, just stay calm.
“Well, sir, you’re going to have to explain - on any form of application - what you intend to do with the money that we will – potentially –loan you.”
“The thing is…Well, the thing is I don’t know yet what I’ll do with the money.”
“ ”
“ ”
“Sir-”
“-Look, I have a lot of ideas, ok?, I have… look, I know I’ll be good at something. I just know it. You should hear some of the things I’ve thought about. That chopping thing that lets you chop stuff in a bowl so the stuff you’re chopping doesn’t, like, scatter? I thought of that like a year before those commercials came out. Back up cameras on your car, I remember talking about that when I was a kid.”
“Sir-”
“-But it’s not just stuff you can sell, it’s other things, too. Like art and music. Like I went to this museum once, and I went into this exhibit on paintings, you know… Rothko, that was his name. And they were like big, big paintings with just like smears of colors in like these big blocks, and I was just looking at it and I remember thinking to myself that I would have painted that, you know? Like I saw it and I was just like, “I should have thought of that,” except at the same time, it was like I had thought of it.”
“Sir, I really-"
“And, like, every song on the radio! Like, I could write a better song than any of those songs!”
“Sir, I really must say that I’m quite certain we will not be able to help you in this venture.”
“ ”
“ ”
Alright just… Just try not to get too… Just, if you can…
“I’m afraid I should ask you to leave, I can see other bank members waiting.”
Listen, these things happen. We need to realize that these things happen.
“Sir…”
