Marsie…what’s the problem?
“How expensive were those graves?” says Marsie.
“In today’s money $400,000.” says Tom Banks.
“It was worth it.
I have a daughter today who came to visit my my grave today, but couldn’t find it and she had a wonderful time. It’s a beautiful cemetery. It was everything that I imagined it would be in that way and ahh…to be able to provide that for her was worth every penny.” says Reta Banks.
“Why did he choose crime?!?” says the First Man.
“ well, it’s a very long story he grew up in a nice family. He could’ve done other things. He actually did try to run away when he was a kid and he actually may have run away and then come back because it didn’t work out to be alone he may have made it all the way up to Minneapolis from Nebraska possibly by rail or hitchhiking things like that, but he he didn’t well there was the rail there was there’s possibly still people using horses and buggies he he really was somebody who lied, but he actually might’ve been telling the truth to some degree so it’s possible that his father was not a Holick after his mother died and the kids had to sort of fend for themselves to some degree and some did better than others, a lot of them, and in the business of some sort, and all quite a few of them are fairly prosperous. Tom was obviously very prosperous. He was wealthy he was literally worth almost $100 million in today’s money, but if not all of that was something that was recordable his sister was worth maybe about 30 million and saves money and then his siblings might’ve been worth more like oh anywhere from 500,000 to 2,000,000 maybe and their net worth in today’s money, so there is there a number of people who did fairly well I mean I think 2 million is a decent net worth for an adult even if it’s not a lot you know having us a general store of sorts in Nebraska and being worth a little over 2 million isn’t bad um no I mean it’s it’s doing well for yourself but that being said even though there was more than one millionaire in the family most likely, none of them necessarily were taught to go to school and get you know better education, and what they were given because if possible their father just was not in the mindset to tell them to do that anymore and so they kind of did have to fend for themselves and they did well. They were raised well they were smart kids they did well, but they may not have had the educational background that really they should have had given who they were going to college was not worth something that time would not have been able to do or is he really any of his sisters and brothers him but it just wasn’t emphasized and that’s sad because he was a very intelligent person they all were and that’s not something that would be most people would understand today but no they were old money and that’s part of how they managed to do as well as they did to be perfectly honest if Lacey is his biological daughter, it’s in her blood as well it’s a little creepy frankly that his name is Tom and that he was a bootlegger in Minnesota it seems pretty likely that he knew that that was in his blood and maybe even said things like that Lacey is his daughter potentially biologically. This is his ideas might be coming from him that she has about things that she doesn’t always talk about so it could actually be so much genetic that he knew what to do now that being said, why did he choose what he chose? I think he was impatient.
I think he was probably a very impatient man. It’s possible that the quick as he really was inspired by him more than you might wanna think. And so it’s possible that he was impatient and did not want to lose his wife Rita. She was a very pretty Scandinavian woman. Her father might’ve actually been from Norway and it’s possible that he just didn’t want to lose her because she was so beautiful when she was young and he just thought no I don’t want to lose my beautiful wife, It’s a spam, man!, who makes money more quickly than I can. He may have owned the hotel that they lived in. They lived in room 1010. I think it was of the Dyckman hotel in Minneapolis. He might’ve owned that hotel, eventually or parts of it. He may have just actually owned it him it was not necessarily above board, but he may have actually been the rightful owner in someway that is rather complex, that’s what Lacey‘s father told her who raised her that he owned that hotel but he stayed there originally with his wife when they were newly married and I don’t think she liked that lifestyle and he didn’t blame her for it because he was raised well enough to know that no that was not the place you want to live with your wife, you know so he didn’t have a lot of education. It was rather rough upbringing that way and so I think he thought no no I’ll I’ll just make it quick. I gotta make a quick I can’t you know go into business like my brother possibly I don’t have help from my father and that way he may have fought with his father at times, and had differences of opinion about certain things, ironically Lacey gets along with his father famously. I think his father was trying to somehow keep him in line and teach him right from wrong, and give him some sort of sense of things so to speak but I thought, and when he was an older man he realize that his father was possibly move one of the only people I will maybe his mom and possibly a sibling so whatever truly loved him his entire life, maybe Rita did maybe a few people did but no his father really genuinely loved him and understood that he needed someone strong enough to stand up to him. If I needed someone I mean, I needed a father who wasn’t afraid to make him angry when he needed to hear the truth and so he needed a dad who was incredibly strong and he had one, but they fought and so his brothers might have gotten more of a leg up on things that he did, and in the process of that, he became extremely wealthy because he went to Minneapolis and decided to sort of you know just put himself out there and make a quick buck instead of starting some sort of warehouse slowly overtime or some other sort of business of some sort eventually did own some properties but then he might’ve supervised a lot of things, but it’s just as if he couldn’t do that, but But if it would’ve taken a lot of time, possibly to sort of financially build himself up, he said if you hundred thousand he worked very hard he saved a few hundred thousand and to be honest he might have gotten some money from his father. It was only a few hundred thousand from his father that he got, but he probably was given a little from his father to start Him maybe it was 100,000 from his dad open 50 to 100,000 from his father to start and then him and then he he and then he and then he took that and instead of starting some sort of business in earth making money over 20 to 30 years he decided to go quickly full speed ahead at to keep his wife you know from leaving him basically it’s possible that of F Scott Fitzgerald met him or knew him that was what inspired that in the novel the idea is that he knew Tom could have done some thing far more legal, and grand But instead he chose to make his wife stay with them and be a criminal so there’s your answer he did it for love. He was a criminal for love. You might’ve been a very romantic person. It’s possible that they wanted to have kids and then chose not to and today was horrific for Rita because if Lacey could’ve been her daughter, and it was very hard to see because she may have partially been. The one that chose not to have kids and today she may have realized that that was just a unfathomably stupid Laceyz games and weight since she had kids she was a size Rita may be rather proud that her daughter was so skinny. She was a double zero she was in her in the higher beauty so I might say in her late 20s if it was the height of a beauty, but she was quite beautiful at that time a she was 00 and no reading might be rather proud of that Does such a gorgeous skinny daughter in her late 20s around the time that she got married but then Lacey gained weight after she had her two kids and she is now about a size 8 yes she would limit a double zero to about a size 8 sometimes 10 but it looks good she’s 40 she wore a Ralph Lauren, black sweater, cotton, a crewneck And a pair of jersey shorts like a gray pair of jersey shorts and Birkenstocks him and it’s just simple hair and it was so perfect looking and Rita saw that and thought that’s not that bad I could have had a kid and gained 30 or 40 pounds by self And not looked ridiculous in my 40s and had a child and been happy in that way and end. Had this be my daughter and had a daughter who could openly say oh these are my parents but instead part of her reasoning was to keep her figure, you know she was possibly very into fashion, and she wanted to keep her figure, and maybe she didn’t even keep her figure, but if that was one of her reasons of why she thought no no let’s just make money and have fun let’s not have kids than that. That was a pretty awful moment for Rita because she may actually love Lacey.” says Tom.
“ why were you gonna leave him?” says the First Man.
“ and because I was very beautiful and I was rather than potentially I thought old is Tom he’s just Tom he’s handsome he’s nice but he’s just so he’s just so Tom which is also a regret that she has speaking of herself Lacey has the same problems with love that her father might have at and so people take her for granted I was just like I took him for granted and then later regretted it but it’s dumb because when you’re young you think oh someone that loving you can find those people around any corner because you’re coming fresh out of being loved by your by your family by your parents and you’re thinking I can find someone like that that’s just a nice person. Anybody who would love me would love me just that well people like that are a dime a dozen if someone loves you that much then that’s them doing their job loving you and you could find someone like that anywhere because that’s just someone loving you. That’s not true.
Yeah, and maybe the people have regretted not being bored, respectful towards Lacey like her legal husband although they’re not really in love, but I am sure he still regret some certain things but no I am pretty sure Rita regretted that when she realize that it’s not the same thing as parental love when someone loves you that much it’s rare first of all And it’s also possibly a very special person because not everyone is as good at loving people and everyone’s that intelligent or that good hearted. And then sometimes you might also find out that you can lose that love or they can become better and start having affairs or they just leave you because if you push them too far, they fall out of love because they were part of the reason why they’re loving it that way is because they’re respectful people, they understand relationships they understand what it means they’re romantic brilliant people and so do you regret it. You have to be pretty sure that you really don’t love them as much as would be necessary to be quite so flippant and how you treat their love you that you have to be far more careful, and that’s some thing that Rita may have had to learn the hard way And that’s something that Rita regrets because she wishes she could’ve raised Lacey and warned her you’re going to break their hearts they’re going to regret it not now but they will. You’re a very beautiful woman you’re not normal in the way that some people candy, and I know that from being married to your father and you’re an awful lot like him, and if you can’t make them be kind to you can’t make them choose you over some other girl who’s so far more sneaky emotionally manipulative exciting choice but a lot of them will actually end up regretting it so keep that in mind because I’m your mother and you know that I love you and you know that I have feelings and that if you love those people enough, you might not wanna hurt their feelings so you might have to find some way to warn them. She never wanted any of the people she did it ever ever she just assumes that they would be happy to be rid of her.
No, it was. Oh you don’t want it you don’t wanna be with me oh that’s fine. Goodbye.
And she meant it um so so then that was that so then that was that and no it was the end and they were devastated more than maybe she realizes I know it’s more her being a mom and her saying OK sweetie hold on. What are you doing because those young men are getting their feelings hurt they might not seem like they have feelings. Sometimes it might not seem like you’re going to affect them, but what if you do They might actually get hurt and then what do you know? What do they deserve that much pain could some of them maybe have had a little warning and maybe not all of that but maybe one or two might have needed just a little warning so that when they’re in their 50s, they’re not standing around somewhere thinking of killing themselves literally Over her subconsciously because they feel so stupid.” says Reta. “ but that’s the thing I had my reasons and that is something that I have to deal with with God and I that’s sad that that they didn’t get any warning at all. You know maybe they’ll be fine and one or two of them that are possibly clinically depressed who she chewed out if she didn’t say oh you’re in love with me she said I know you did basically I know you didn’t give a absolute you know rip about me but you’re lying manipulative potentially what’s this asshole and I worry you could screw over a lot of people and wish you’d never pin porn so think about that as you fuck up your entire life.
I know that might not have been something they all should’ve heard, but no, there was no one telling her no these people are really listening to you sweetie. They actually care in some cases more than they realize and they’re just a little stupid or a little slow or some thing and some of them might need of a little hint that they don’t quite get what’s going on And you might lose interest in them but worst case scenario if they’re clueless and they need a little hint about life just keep that in mind but no I wasn’t there to raise her and she’s fine but she is she’s my she’s my daughter she’s Tom’s daughter she’s my daughter and God has her she loves her kids. Her kids know she loves her self. They know that she loves them. They know that she loves God and that’s a lot but it would be nice if she knew more that she was loved by mom and it would be nice if she knew how she was affecting people, and not because she’s slow herself because people maybe just have never told her the truth and it would be nice for fit for people that are being affected to possibly have a moment in her mind where they could possibly have a conversation with her in a safe way, and I could’ve facilitate that But I wasn’t there.” says Reta Banks.
Later.
“So…when do I win?” says Marsie, mocking Lacey.
“ no that actually doesn’t even make any sense Marcy you read way too much into stuff um, so you can tell that her family is superior to mine?” says the First Man.
“ what means this isn’t real? I’m an incredibly intelligent amazing brilliant, beautiful a rare, gorgeous, fantastic astounding, amazing person so all these things that she has me sayings that make me seem stupid, but I would never be this stupid because I am incapable of being stupid.“ says Marsie’s subconscious.
“ no mercy that there could be an illuminati. They could be talking to our subconscious and actually her family that she was really that she’s actually a part of is a little above mine they’re not it’s not like the royal family or the spencers, but they are both my family, even though I am related to someone who is titled and we have a very impressive house.” says Ian.
“ do you have quite a following?” says Marsie.
“ what’s the point of bringing that up right now some people like her are a little suspicious of it some people think it’s really impressive. Why are you bringing it up to her but actually both why are you bringing that up?” says Ian.
“ i’m just you know I’m not easy to fool.” says Marsie.
He laughs.
“ mercy we were talking to your subconscious earlier today. What is it that Lacey likes or doesn’t like that you is a true indicator that she’s not in the upper class?” says a the Illuminati.
“ well, I mean she’s just so easy to tell that everything she has is just fake.“ says Marsie.
“Go on.” says Laura Bush.
“Well OK so her father paid $400,000 for that grave? So what? He paid $1 million for that house out right? So what?-“ says Marsie.
“Marsie you sound like an idiot!” yells Casi.
“ but I’m going to keep going.
Her father probably had nice American made cars. He paid the father who raised her 20,000 a year in the 1980s early 80s to be his personal assistant basically and caregiver probably 15 to 20,000 or maybe even 10,000 or something whatever it was it was 10 $20,000 who cares? He had a farm worth $2 million in the country and horses that was thoroughbreds worth $1 million in today’s money. He knew Coco Chanel. He was best friends with Humphrey Bogart because they came from the same social class. He’s Dutch old money OK who cares?
Lacey could’ve married Michael Rockefeller, who fucking cares?
I realize is that Michael is a lower class. Michael Rockefeller is in the lower class. Being Dutch old money means absolutely nothing. there are no class symbols even being royalty doesn’t mean anything that are actually meaningful. That’s the point of her blog. That’s the point that she’s trying to make is that there are no real class symbols in that way that isn’t a thing.
I’ll know I’ll tell you what the real social class symbols actually are.
1. You must have a new vehicle every year.
2. You must love niche perfume and have a whole room full of temperature and light moderated perfume or your poor.
3. And you have to have at least $10,000 on you every day. Easy!
4. Nothing can be cheap in your entire fucking house at all.
5. Your hair has to cost at least about $10,000 or you’re a peasant.
6. And you must have everything perfect on your face that you can possibly afford. If you die from it you’re poor.
7. And no expensive art art stupid you should probably be eating poop.-“ says Marsie.
“Marsie are you losing your mind like literally a little bit right now?“ asks a woman.
“No I’m just telling you the truth.” says Marsie.
“Marsie that’s insane. What you’re saying makes absolutely no sense right now intellectually.” says a woman.
“Oh, you think so!? Ahh…no. I know I’m right.” says Marsie.
“No Marsie it actually is insane. Are you just in shock that you talked to Lacey and that she publicly posted your conversation and you made a total fool of yourself?” says the Illuminati.
“ see I was a stewardess and be in that position I was used to dealing with a lot of people and some people who are in the first class were probably famous sometimes or really wealthy so it isn’t actually as weird to me. She’s just on the Internet I follow her on the Internet it’s, it’s not someone that we like really know that well in person Marcy you could think of it was like kind of a special cool thing that Mark Zuckerberg invented as egalitarian that he kind of is potentially in someway and so it’s like yeah this is cool you get to actually talk to people that are somewhat you know old money or interesting and that way and then or at least, sometimes you get to talk to them you might not always be able to, but with some people you get to actually talk to them and that’s a really cool thing because you’re actually talking to them but it’s not like I could sit down and have a long conversation with her I don’t know her that well but it’s also not like some thing about her with move me deeply and then I went Phyl need to say something about it if I saw some thing it’s like it’s like a frequent passenger on a plane or someone that you see a lot if you go to the same coffee shop you start getting emotionally attached to that person and it’s not like your friends but it kind of is and then and then you may be can’t really be quite so scared because it’s gonna be not quite that big of a deal but it’s still really cool it’s just I wouldn’t assume that you’re close to her you could if you feel a connection with someone it’s not like you should lie about that you just even as a friend but if you don’t feel a connection with her as a friend at all, don’t fake that and don’t assume that just because she’s following you and liking your post means that your best friends or friends at all maybe there’s some friendship there but if there isn’t then they’re just as an energy is just a cool thing on the end it’s just a cool thing on there or not it is that complicated the Marci you can’t just make it something simple.” says a perfume collecting flight attendant.
“ damn all my gosh yes I think I took what she wrote on her blog as being entirely just about the and being way too serious about me.” says one of her haters.
“ you know I didn’t single anyone out for a reason it was more of a commentary about everybody.” says Lacey.
The flight attendant laughs.
“ but you could be doing that to be singling one person out if you don’t want to say.” says Marsie.
“ oh yes, but that wasn’t really my tone.” says Lacey.
“ if you have a tone you come across like a hottie, hyper intellectual cold is this obsessively accurate probably sensitive and extraordinarily intelligent, stuffy and confusing person. Is that who you are?” says Marsie.
“ that is who I am to other people, yes.” says Lacey. “ that is who I am to people who aren’t my kids or in my family or my husband Lem’s if I can call him that or my friends and possibly some other people to that I might talk with more but not a to most people that’s probably how I would prefer to respond to them, but then they probably get angry at me, so I am very sweet and agreeable and nice because I have to be, if I myself, people literally start looking at me like they want to kill me.” says Lacey.
“ is that normal?” says Marsie.
“ no it’s not. It’s really actually kind of creepy but I’ve been dealing with it my entire life.” says Lacey.
“ what is your orientation then?” says Marsie.
“ that’s what you’re kind of backward but that’s OK possibly if you can handle that I’m straight and sis I’m completely heterosexual and says I’m very feminine actually but there’s a little thing called feminism Marcy do you ever watch old movies honey my father fought in 18 oh my father fought in world war one my father fought in world war, one Mercy my father, who is born in 1894 if I were to talk to you as myself, I would seem like Betty Davis how many times do I have to repeat myself I am like Betty Davis. I really am!” says Lacey.
“ but she was what was she?” says Marsie.
“ she’s she was sexually involved with men she was possibly straight.” says Lacey.
“ yeah, I had boyfriends and husband. and no I was not. I was actually somewhat bisexual but no I liked men.” says Bette Davis.
“a lot of us sounded like Lacey sweetie in the upper class. It’s not just Pat Betty Davis and she knows that but she’s looking for a way to quickly explain to you her voice a lot of people who act like her and have her mannerisms and have her voice literal voice were very hottie, aristocratical upper class with it and she’s one of us but there’s not a lot of us that are on film for you to see yeah if you watch I Love Lucy we’re on those episodes at times is the stuff you friends that she had, when she goes and visits that clothing store that could’ve been her aunts literal clothing store yet a Donald Glover label sweetie. Her aunt owns the store so that’s Lacey’s. Those are Lacey‘s mannerisms. Those women that came into the store to be impressive. Lacey might’ve impersonate those people slightly, but those are her mannerisms I was it’s just, but she chose to act like it might be somewhat who she is but that’s not her being backward or lower class or not but she is she is Tom’s daughter. I think she thinks it’s sort of cool sounding, and to be honest a lot of us thought that so it’s possibly just a popular way of talking in our generation for certain women.
A lot of the women who talks like that tend to have very what have you put my calls strong personalities but when you really talk to us, we’re really not like terrible people we just well we liked are cigarettes. We liked our Jen we liked our fur coats and our husbands and our cars with our driver. We liked our friends. We liked our houses and our kids but we really didn’t like a lot of other stuff, we’re very quiet reclusive people in the way.” says one of them.
“ why do you like sounding like that?” says Marsie.
“ I don’t know if that’s interesting question that’s actually a lot more hard to answer than you might think because Marcy where did die Alex come from where do accents come from? You’re asking a very complex psychological question I don’t know where that attitude came from in our generation, it Hass to be so much genetic and evolution airy because she I mean where did it come from? That’s just who she is Emma was born in 1916 her father was born 1894. She was born in 83 and she’s doing the best that she can do with that.” says the woman.
“ is it kind of like a valley girl accent?” says Casi.
“ in a sense it is a no sense it’s not wear different people in them. The valley girl accent is a little bourgeois. I’m not bourgeois at all and neither is Lacey.“ says Bette Davis.
“ and I can’t help that I’m middle class and if I was just losing my mind and you people are obviously upper class I can’t help that.” says Marsie.
“ well, she knows that but that’s where you were supposed to be an adult and start being a little more normal around her and stop acting like you were better than her all the time for reasons of social class.” says Bette Davis.
“ you know Marcy let’s just be honest. I really genuinely think you have me in the lower class. why!? what really is it that convinces you of that?” says Lacey.
“ it’s your attitude?” says Dmitry.
“ what are you talking about?” says Lacey.
They laugh. Lacey looks confused.
They look extremely uncomfortable.
They sharply stop laughing. Start freaking out.
“Can I be honest? If you ever do any real research Dimitri you’ll find out that Matthew Nesheim really is who she says he is and they’re really related and they really do have trillions in oil.” says the Illuminati.
“Call the POLICE!!” many yell in their subconscious.
“Why are you telling us that?” says Marsie.
“ why not!?” says Lacey.
“ and safety reasons!” says Dmitry.
Lacey laughs. “ if I lived in a palatial estate I might be worried I don’t. I live in a nice house with a decent enough security system you know exactly what I have in my house that’s a value and I don’t think it even has any interest in selling it I am really only ever probably going to be worse 20, million at most maybe 30 at most that’s impressive but to be honest it’s going to be very hard to access that money and that’s just it. It’s like it’s not for some reason it’s just not impressive to people so it’s like yeah I might have a few million that is very hard to get at him. If you got at it, it would probably be the collapse of the entire global economy, so it’s it’s basically it’s very hard to get up my money what I have that’s readily available because I am a humble person potentially is I would just not people aren’t interested you know do you want my silver? Do you want my blue flow pottery or you could steal my French table, but then you have to take it out of my house. You have to subscribe van to put it in that you’d park nearby. You have to carry it without killing yourself out of my house because there’s steps and it might get there might might be slippery you could kidnap me and my family, but we’re so exhausted and things have gotten so weird for us that you would regret it and we probably just die, it might not even be possible or I make you regret it for eternity so that’s out um, you I mean you can’t really do a lot to me there’s not a good way to really attack me physically every time I am anywhere I constantly have my personal safety and the safety of my children in mind it never leaves my mind that’s just who I am and so there’s not a lot you can do and that way to me the oil itself I would love it would be tremendously rotating to me to watch someone trying to steal the oil.” says Lacey.
“ that’s what the oil drills look like him so those are all over North Dakota. Oh there’s probably well there’s at least dozens of them a decent number of them are probably in my family but but no that’s where the oil is in so hoping to get that out, my father, who raised me, was just telling me today, and I have no idea what he’s talking about to some degree there are him 18 oil drills that that are in my families possession on his side I think there’s 24 on my mother side that raise me and so of those 18 for ours and sell possession in his family. I don’t know who were sharing the others with I can’t believe they start selling those, but I guess we must share them with other people possibly some of them are related to, but that’s where the oil is that’s where the trillions and oil is it’s been used those drills Marcy and Dimitri, so how do you plan to access the oil through those drills are you to steal the property is possible some people of already tried who are far wealthier and more cunning than you they can show you the price of price of oil by trying to make it so that my family would feel it was smart to sell him but I do see a number of us are smarter than that. I certainly am and it’ll be interesting to see what we do with all that land, I’m a little worried that someone’s going to try to steal it from my generation and to be honest with you if they do I I’m so sick of it that I might just let them I don’t have it in me to try to build up some sort of army to take care of the US government because it’s too fucking stupid to exist.
I believe me I’ve actually thought of it. I’ve actually thought of trying to start my own army people in my family had possibly thought of this as well but no, I mean that’s the thing like what are we supposed to do if the US government is too weak and corrupt and evil peasant like to exist. We won’t exist for long either and thankfully there are other countries that still know they exist, who weren’t totally taken over by Jack Kennedy in his sad little worthless body.
So, so no, I don’t really know what cause to me is the end of America his presidency is to me and someways the watershed moment in American history when the country ceases to exist I still love love, but that’s between Lem’s and I Jack probably should’ve possibly died if his kids could’ve been born in heaven, there was nothing about his presidency that was all that special in my opinion. I think he was arguably the most disastrous president, and possibly one of those were disastrous human stuff or exist.
I but I don’t I mean what why can’t I talk about the oil who is going to take the oil Marcy who is going to steal the oil from underneath all of that it’s oil that we owe on our lead the oil companies themselves have had a hard time taking the oil out even though it’s there And they can take it out but it’s expensive who’s going to take it out the oil companies know that it’s there they made millions and millions of millions off of us. It was worth it but now that we know that it’s there and they’ve acknowledge that, and they’ve made their money and we made our money and the drills are there Who is going to do anything who is going to take that oil? Hi, I would love to see you in an army of other jackasses. If you’re one of them try to take a Noyle or take the land that would be interesting. Why would I like that huh? Well, that’s interesting. Question to, but as long as no children were harmed. Oh that would be quite entertaining to watch some group of evil peasants because of his blogs writer hold North Dakota hostage in a non-you know harmful to children or really even adults way I don’t know how you would all do that, but it would be very rotating to watch and then I don’t know what you’re gonna do with all the oil you’ll end up just having it like we did the end in the process of causing this chaos. You’ll probably drive down the price of the oil there by making the entire thing pointless. That being said, it would be so fun to watch you do it and make total assholes of yourselves, as they say that I would love to watch.” says Lacey.
“ we’re not that stupid Lacey we’re not that stupid.” says a middle class American.
Lacey laughs with her.
“ then what then what security concerns are they thinking of?” says Lacey.
“ oh, no mercy maybe if she Scotia we shouldn’t talk about the pyramids.” says George Bush.
“We’re waiting.” says Matthew Nesheim.
“ I don’t understand. Did you think that you seemed just sort of ordinary?” says Marsie.
“ yes, maybe some wealth but nothing like ridiculous. Just some wealth maybe.” says Lacey,
“ and you know what critique yourself because I can’t figure out how to do it how if you were arguing my perspective that you were going to be on the debate team help if you because I have a feeling you could figure out intuitively what I bothered by? What is it? I can’t figure it out.” says Marsie.
Lacey thinks. Sighs.
“OK here’s the problem you’re not gonna like my response.” says Lacey.
“ try me.” says Marsie.
“ I am part of the upper class and old money, technically speaking. And I would say until actually, you’d have to put me in that category but it’s not in a way that really anyone cares about an every day conversation because it’s something they can lie about themselves and it just goes over their head.
So I have advantages and a lifestyle and experiences other people don’t have it, but nobody realizes that almost ever people who are above me and who are at my level do them but then a lot of them frankly don’t really want to talk about the issue and so they kind of just look the other way about the fact that it’s not obvious that I’m one of them But they also except me because that’s just how human beings are and that’s how social interactions work in society and so I’m part of them and they know that and so I get entrance at times when you wouldn’t dream of getting entrance and different social social situations at restaurants and stores that are exclusive in front of certain audiences I am It’s. I am excepted as one of them and I get their perspective. You’ll never have that but at the same time you have no idea that I’m one of them because it’s not obvious enough.
Oh, and so it’s kind of like that millionaire next door type theory but it’s above that it’s a step beyond that and a cause of a bourgeois concept. This is the reality of the social class system in America. Potentially that I’m telling you so for me it’s not any surprise in a way that I could be Tommy Banks‘s daughter biologically I’m called a cookie. I so it’s sort of like I was born into the upper class. Then I get raised by another upper class family to cover up summons illegitimacy and it’s worked in so that it looks like I’m not adopted.
I’m not a cookie and I I mean it’s just kind of dumb because my father love me some parents might not love their kids enough and that’s on them. Thankfully, my dad does love me and I love my kids and to me there are no cookies in a pejorative way that could possibly ever exist, but some people might think that’s pejorative and that’s why it’s pejorative. I choose to say it’s not because to me the whole concept is just completely idiotic one that’s entirely low class disgusting and evil potentially at best.
Oh, that being said as nice as that is you really do look right through me right past me at all the advantages and privileges that I have I’ve tried to point them out to you and I don’t think you get it they’re real. If it’s not what’s trending right now, but I have very good taste. I have very refined, excellent natural, aristocratic, taste, and it was cultivated, so I have a very good lifestyle by nature, but it’s not showy.
I and so what are my friends who grow up a somewhat lower class, married into an upper middle-class family, and I know she struggles with them, but probably not as much as she would, if I had been her friend. Partially because she knows probably subconsciously that they’re not upper class their upper middle class so she can relate to them in a way that’s easier than if she just was an all of them and was intimidated and in capable of standing up for herself, so she’s like I’m calling your bluff you’re not really like the ruling class, I had a friend that was part of the ruling class and they weren’t actually as obviously rich as you people are their family might be far more wealthy than you could probably dream of being, but they weren’t and I know they’re matter them I know what they eat. I know the way they talk because I spent a lot of time with her she might be able to say, and Innoway then if they can get along, she may also start enjoying what they enjoy the same degree with them like physical fitness probably sometimes healthy eating him in the outdoors. She used to go ice-skating with me and my family. I don’t think she’s ever gone ice-skating before we took her ice-skating and she had so much fun And I think I would bet stuff like that probably gave her some insight into what she liked and didn’t like about upper class sports and so I think that’s been helpful to her and she seems to be at least somewhat humble about it so that worked out and that way that worked out pretty well but I don’t think people would notice if that was happening Because it’s just so subtle.
And I mean, it’s not really subtle, but it’s not something people pay attention to for some reason.
So that’s who we are but I think the people that you expect me to be to be old money upper class is the following type of person:
Meet Cynthia Carlisle. She lives in high court manner on a state worth 25 million outside of Beverly Hills. Oh never mind no she lives near but I don’t know if she lives somewhere in California and some $25 million state she has a thoroughbred horse that she calls Polkadot. And her grandfather was the cofounder of Standard Oil. His family lived in America since the mayflower, and when I say it like that, it sounds so much more impressive than Dutch old buddy or Lem Billings even though it’s exact same thing and actually they might be lying about it and we’re not.
But it’s not it’s not as disreputable as the Kennedys they might not be lying about it they might’ve come over in the 1820s and not really how come over on the mayflower and they might they might’ve been middle class in London somewhere and have thought in the 1820s that there was a real slick opportunity in America and so they might’ve immigrated to America in the 1820s Been intelligent people and have made millions by the end of the 1800s and so are they could lie because people don’t research things about their ancestry and make it seem like they’re like me and Lem’s but they’re not in so they’re impressive but they’re not us but they want that Pedegree because if they don’t have it, they know they’ll be suspicious to people like Lem and I.
I so notice, but the thing is the mercy they’re not unimpressive people they really probably do have a lot of money and I’ve had it since maybe the 1500s they’re not really wealthy, wealthy people if you go that far back but they’re not poor they’re probably the beginnings of the middle class to some degree and so then they came over in the 1820s and just went straight to the top in America and bought him. I don’t know some estate somewhere probably in Connecticut and then maybe kept that in their family for the next 150 years and I’m sure they break about it. They probably called some farm that they had sunny side acres and no they became good friends with lots of people who were old money and they’re probably pretty nice people.
I don’t trust them but they’re probably pretty nice people.
I they they have a monopoly though I think on your imagination of at the upper classes which is maybe kind of sad but I think that’s why you think that I think that’s who you think the upper class is this still our upper class in a very open vocal way. They tend to be the Rockefellers might even be included in the Carnegies and the Vanderbilts.
They’re still putting on a show. …And that’s part of why I’m suspicious of them. Because we’re not like that we don’t just put on shows but they like to put on shows it’s unclear to me why. I find it weird. And but that being said, it is a beautiful show yeah speaking of shows the flower show. I wonder if they still have that used at the Minneapolis flower shop with the Twin Cities flower show and people like that would go to stuff like that. I know there’s a debutante balls they still have no they still go to the met gala. They still are interviewed in the Society pages of some Instagram ballet show. I mean they still show up and it’s beautiful you know it’s like you know the Easter Parade song from Easter Parade with Judy Garland, where it’s like oh, they have on their bonnets And it’s just gorgeous everyone’s walking around looking like a flower
Oh, but that’s not upper class that’s who they are and that’s what they choose to do with their upper class old money. Calling them old money is a little dicey, but I think it works. and that is for me to say and for them not to really have much to say about it at all.
And that being said if it works no if it works, it works and then their upper class old money and for whatever reason they want to put on a show they want to be obviously rich and obviously impressive and that’s what that’s that’s what they like and I think that’s who you expect all of the upper class to be.
Sometimes they’re called high Society. I don’t wanna call them that right now.
In terms of authenticity they’re not as authentic as me. maybe not as much as my family that I was raised in, but me, Lacey banks they’re not as authentic as me. They are potentially us as authentic as a Nesheims although that’s somewhat debatable, to be honest. But what if they are technically upper class old money and maybe Lem’s actually would be able to speak to that better than I would believe it or not because he’s my husband and he’s maybe not as old money as me but he’s my husband and he’s authentic enough that I would trust his opinion he’s also very smart and honest.
Oh but boy, this is where I have to sort of hope that you’ve been sticking with me because I’m about to make them sound great and I’m a little worried you’re going to get fixated on that and then miss everything else that I just said.
So here goes nothing.
They’re a heck of a lot more glamorous. him their faces look amazing on camera. I think they tend to somehow just wow in dazzle. They really do put on the show their houses are beautiful. Their pictures are beautiful. They have convinced me at times that I was nothing compared to them all while being one of them at the same time because they’re so perfectly snobby and it’s very convincing but that’s an act I think because I’m not like that and I’m better than them.
But I guess I’ll have to emphasize it some more. They really are more glamorous. It’s like Anna Wintour you know I mean, Anna Wintour how are you? Just say the name and everything just wow. And if Coco Chanel had been born into that family, she wouldn’t fit in very well. They are like that they’re like Coco Chanel. They’re like Anna Wintour there like you just you know? Wow! Louis Hill Junior is one of them but he’s also like me Harold Loeb is more like me than like them. You wouldn’t necessarily think that, but somehow I feel like he’s more like me then like Louis. and it’s not because he’s Jewish it’s just he’s a little more authentically old money in someway or I don’t know it’s interesting. You might be worth it to be old money but he’s he’s. He’s more like me than them him Zelda was a little bit like Harold and I, she was popular, but I think she probably somehow got pushed around to, and a similar way to Harold and I. At least while she was alive.
Hey, yes, authentic old money might be a little goth except it’s not, but there could be something slightly goth about them, because love is kind of goth if he was straight there, but we’re not like evil, but there could be something a little like goth about our aesthetic, psychologically speaking.
F. Scott Fitzgerald was actually unbeknownst to him, seemingly which is actually sort of common amongst us, possibly he was old money to him the same way that we are, and he was also pushed around. he is old buddy, but he was totally unimpressed with himself and his family, and I don’t think he was the most stellar intellectual in that way, even if he was incredibly intelligent. I mean I would say he’s really truly to be fair to Scott a rare genius, but I don’t think in that way he was necessarily the most intellectually astute person.
You know, and maybe even maybe Scott even knew that about himself and part part that was part of why he had doubts and felt so hurt by people at times. Because he just thought you know, I have my flaws and you can reject me based on those.
But no, it’s that’s the thing so it’s like you have a Congdon‘s in the hills and the Roosevelts and people who are just flashy gorgeous people, the Rockefellers, the Rothschilds, but they’re not American the Rothschilds but no, you have the Vanderbilts you are the Rockefellers you have you have a lot of people in America, who are very impressive and if they work their way into old money hey that’s great and there quite a big deal and you know what OK but that’s not the entire upper class those people are very showy. They’re very glamorous but that’s not the entire upper class.” says Lacey.
“ so you guys are like the old stuffy people in some mansion in New York City that replaced a huge beautiful farmhouse on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. And then they are like The Breakers.” says Marsie.
“ yes that’s possibly right on the money but then mercy you you have to keep that straight in your head. My house in Manhattan is still a nice house.” says Lacey.
“ marcy that’s my house that I possibly lived in when I was a very tiny little infant that’s my house.” says Lacey.
“ that’s not a big house.” says Jan.
“ that’s a lie. That is a very big house.” says Tom Banks.
“ oh, how big is that house?” says Marsie.
Lacey rolls her eyes.
“ it’s a 3500 square-foot house.” says Lacey.
“So Lem was straight!?!?” screams America in shock.
“ very possibly.” says the CIA.
“ do you know a 3500 square-foot house most Marcy is in a large house. It’s not like a mansion necessarily but it’s a large house.” says the FBI.
“ it doesn’t look that big!” says Marsie.
“ you haven’t seen enough big houses. It actually kind of does.” says Lacey.
“ and you know it does, but then I lie to myself and make it seem smaller.” says Marsie.
“ I use that trick once with Lacey to insult St Paul and her husband’s income and then she got mad at me because I’m in her family and it was bullshit anyway and I realized that I was just insulting myself.” says her cousin Gwen. “ and then I realize that she was extraordinarily angry with me, because I really was insulting our family, because it was a very stupid thing to say to her.”
“ what is that game? Are you people just psychotically deranged what the fuck is wrong with you?” says Lacey.
“Well we’re obviously trying to get a rise out of you.” says Gwen.
“ you’re trying to get me to kill you.” says Lacey to explain.
“ is that really what we’re communicating??” says Gwen.
“ basically yes which is why I’m asking you. What are you doing?” says Lacey.
“ Hey, my mother was sort of a Golddigger, and I was not raised very well in some ways. and I don’t think I know how to relate to you, and I think I might’ve been trying to relate to you.” says Gwen.
“ yeah, I recently discovered that you guys know that I don’t like you the way that you want me to.” says Lacey.
“ yeah so you care about us and you wish the best for us possibly more than most people do but you don’t actually like us.” says Gwen.
“ no I don’t like most people. I love most people but I’ve realized in the last year or two that I don’t really like most people. Not really.” says Lacey.
“ and who do you like no I know you are you love everybody I know I think you were trying to like everybody or something who do you really actually like?” says Gwen.
“Lem. F. Scott Fitzgerald. My dad. Coco Chanel. Lauren Bacall. Humphrey Bogart. Harold Loeb and his family. Kasey Mickschl my best friend from the second grade and most of her family. My brother-in-law, Josh. My legal husband, Mark. Umm….F. Scott Fitzgerald‘s family for the most part. The queen mother, and her husband, the King of England. And the entire Royal Family. A lot of rap stars-“ says Lacey.
“What the fuck are you expecting her to say?” says a dead Black man.
“Who else?” says Gwen.
“I used to like a lot more people.
But…” says Lacey.
“Yeah. That’s all. Thanks so much!
See…you’re supposed to say that’s normal. Why can’t you just say that!??” says Lem.
“You used to like me.” says Gwen.
“Yeah. Why did you reject me? That’s actually kind of weird.” says Lacey.
Pandemonium breaks out.
Meanwhile Kick Kennedy tries to be seductive by humming in a Tantric rhythm while having sex with some man or Satan.
“Kick why are you doing that?” says Lacey.
Kick refuses to answer.
As MH370 flies into Jack Kennedy’s butthole. Literally.
Amelia Earhart breaks out laughing.
IRM by Charlotte Gainsbourg plays.
“You told me to put something up…your…butt that reminded you of your family and Joe.” screams Satan in terror.
But Jack is feeling too much sexual pleasure to care.
“HELP!!” screams Satan to God.
“What’s he doing?” says God.
Satan hyperventilates. “I can’t get his brain to work.”
“Yeah. They’re all like that.” says Lacey.
“YES!” says Satan, exasperated.
“He’s not necessarily human anymore.” says Lacey to Satan.
“So his brain is useless!?!” says Satan.
“Possibly. And not like a normal animal either.” says Lacey.
“That’s how they sin. They turn off their intelligence when they want to be evil.” says God.
“Except now they’re stuck that way.” says Lacey.
“Lacey they’re literally destroying humanity.” says Satan.
“Yup. They’re too dumb to understand?” says Lacey.
“Lacey tortures them with special worms.” says Satan.
Worms crawl around inside Jack Kennedy’s head totally distracting him. He can’t pick them out. They’re the same amount endlessly.
He literally cannot mentally concentrate on anything else. It’s impossible.
And after the people are gone the plane continues on. Lacey reaches inside his butthole and grabs the plane.
Le Chat du Café des Artistes by Charlotte Gainsbourg plays.
She eyes the poor plane. Hands it to God.
The British are intrigued. A dead brave man flies a plane up his butthole to investigate.
“Are you feeling pleasure?” yells a scientist.
He thinks. “NO!!” he yells. He ends the experiment.
“I wanted to. It’s LEMMERS.” says JFK.
“You’re a DOG!” says Satan.
Jack blows his brains out of his nose. Then his head disappears. But his skin doesn’t.
And at that Kick turns into a sex dancer. In Hell.
That’s what a sex dancer in Hell looks like:
She looks like an absolute idiot from a living human perspective.
La Collectionneuse by Charlotte Gainsbourg plays.
“What did she last knowingly sign up for?” asks a living woman.
“To be God, essentially? But better.” says a dead person.
