Voice testing, heading to mysterium_tremendum

Nineteen-twenty-what now?! Oh hell no!

You wanna send me to a time when Doctor King wasn't even a twinkle in his mama's eye? Nuh-uh. I ain't goin'! I know my history.

Tru--? Trust you? Trust you?? Oh, I know you didn't just tell me to trust you. Man, we just met. And I'm here up in this--whatever you wanna call this--this headspace of yours, and you know, there isn't even a copy of Black Ops up here for me to play, just this old second hand copy of Resi-4 and a bunch of second hand smoke, and you know I got my sinuses--I got allergies, man, and...

No. No, I do not want your damn hankie!

... Do you even know what you're doing?

Anyone listening to you might think the present was some kind of utopia.

Naw, it ain't a utopia, but at least it's got, y'know, Brown vs Board of Ed. You know what they used in 1928, man? Plessy vs Ferguson. Plessy vs Fer-gu-son! Separate-but-"equal."

And don't get me started on all their backwater steam-age technology, neither. Like I'm gonna have to go learn me some Morse code or some shit.

All right, let's pretend I know what you're talking about. I never paid too much attention in school.

Look, mate, no one's that crazy about being here. And no one asked anyone's permission first either. Not much point in making a fuss about it.

Pretend? Pretend that you know? Man, how you gonna not know about civil rights? What the heck kinda decade were you in? Don't nobody talk about Rosa Parks where you come from?

See, this is what I'm talkin' about. Probably got people from all kinds 'a upside down higgledy-piggledy worlds, and here's you sayin' don't make a fuss. I ain't making a "fuss." I got me a legitimate concern. "Fuss," my ass.

Typical American - thinks the world revolves around your country.

And what do you think this is going to do? Think your mun's going to listen and say, "Right, my mistake" and forget the whole thing? Not bloody likely.
