It's terrible, you're going to the chokie, the chocolate cake. That scene always made me so sad. I know Like I would cry during that scene because of how he was just this little chunky kid and she made him eat all that chocolate cake. You like cake? So sad bitch, sad little chunky. But honestly, like, as I've gotten older, like miss trenchable makes more sense, my movie is definitely closer to her. Yeah, like what is it? Miss butterfly? Like whatever the fuck her name is, butter. I wanted to say worse, but it's not that either. Butter, pecan, I don't know.
