Transcript:
Luann: "You're with a girl named Prudence?"
Quill: "Funny name, huh? Anyway, we do all kinds of theater stuff. The day's totally unpredictable! Uh-oh. Gotta run!"
Quill: "Luann? You there?"
Luann: "Yeah. I'm just predicting what 'unpredictable' looks like..."
Hi Puddles, good to see you. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Gunther is pacing his room. Quill is gone, heâs still ticked off by the seductress, Rosa, who lured him to Peru and then broke his heart, and now his imagination is getting all jazzed by the femme fatal, Tiffany. Those newly awakened hormones are most distractingâŠâŠ..maybe he should go and sew himself a new shirt.
I have a hunch that Prudence will not look anything at all like that. And as I stated yesterday jealousy only drives people away. Actually that is just another word for distrust.
Youâre right to be jealous Luann. The girl in your head is way hotter and more interesting than you and theater people are not known for their fidelity.
âFunny name, huh?â says the man named Quill. Anyway, this whole depiction of what Prudence is like is obviously just in Luannâs imagination, because we all know that in fact Quill is interested only in inner beauty. Fortunately, Luann is truly beautiful inside, having no traces of possessiveness or jealousy.
Sure is a lot of love for Luann among todayâs posters. Iâd wonder why yinz bother to read something when the main character doesnât appeal, but itâs implausible that it would matter enough to me to bother
Implausible (who I presume is RB2): I just wanted to tell you that I am sincerely glad you are back in the comments. Your perspective is quirky and interesting. You make me see and think about the story in interesting, new ways. I like that. I know that sometimes people think you are too provocative. However, I tend to enjoy hearing the many different perspectives all of us bring to the comments section.
8This is going to be a very interesting week of Luann being freaked out by her own jealously. The reality is that Quill will do whatever Quill does. If he is âunfaithfulâ then that is valuable information for Luann to know. If he is faithful (which Luann should ASSUME he will be instead of getting jealous), then all is fine regardless of whether Prudence looks like Marlyn Monroe or one of the puppet characters from H.R. Pufnstuf. As a few folks said above⊠the JEALOUSLY that Luann is showing is a real negative.
Dear Prudence, wonât you come out to play?Dear Prudence, greet the brand new dayThe sun is up, the sky is blueItâs beautiful and so are youDear Prudence, wonât you come out to play?
she doesnât have to imagine Jessica Rabbit, in this day and age there HAS to be pictures of that group posted somewhere, she can probably look them up on facebook.
There is no sign that Luann doesnât trust Quill. Her imagination is going, but she is not saying anything to Quill that would make her sound jealous. We canât control our feelings very much, but we can control our words and actions. Luannâs words and actions donât show any jealousy.
Prudence[prood-ns] noun1.the quality or fact of being prudent, or wise in practical affairs, as by providing for the future.2.caution with regard to practical matters; discretion.3.regard for oneâs own interests.Only #3 is close to the definition of âLuannâ.
Luann is in that transition stage where the hormones and imagination are at a higher level than her logic and maturity. Itâs sortaâ like a figure skating competition âŠâŠâŠyou canât win it in the short program, but you can sure lose it. A lot of lives are ruined by youthful mistakes. So, donât be in a rush, you can screw up your life at any age along the line.
Funny how Lu imagines Pru to be a bru-nette. Most women would be more scared of a blonde bombshell. Since theyâre doing only theater stuff together, donât sweat it kiddo.
So⊠Quill calls Luann and at no point does he say that he misses her or ask how her week is going. Instead, his input consists of we, me, we, Prudence, gotta run. Combine that with the fact that Luann is still pretty young and this is her first serious romance, and I think her runaway imagination is totally predictable and understandable.
@DavidHuieGreenâactually, most go by âPruâ that I know.â.And how would THAT be funny?Maybe Dense for a nickname(not you, still playing with the name Prudence)

Is Luann too young to be with the same guy for the rest of her life? Should she sample other men, other relationships first?

If you love something, let it go. If it comes back to you, its yours forever. If it doesnât, hunt it down and kill it.

âA Streetcar Named Deisireâ, eh? Having re-read it as an adult, there was NOTHING romantic about itâ just about abuse and abuse.

I can agree with you about the Greeks, NG 2 ⊠but I think jealousy is an especially negative âhumanizerâ.
