Two Sentence Horror Stories

- Sounds great. Talk soon. - Got it.

Yes! Dude, you just acquired our biggest client of the year.

Congratulations, Mr. Dimakulangan.

Very impressive.

Well, thank you muchly, Miss Spencer.

Dad had a last minute meeting.

He was seriously considering me for that open seat.

They needed him on the Risso call.

He practically said the board doesn't respect me,

He said the board doesn't know you.

But tomorrow, you're accepting the Coburn Prize,

and that all changes.

- Doesn't it? - That's right.

Got a big speech there, bud?

Kinda. I figure with the whole board being there,

I can show them I'm not just some random Asian.

Dude, they don't see you as Asian.

They know you're one of us.

And what exactly would be wrong if they saw him as Asian?

Woah! Chill out.

That is not what I was saying.

Your literal words were, "they don't..."

Jen, come on.

I just mean I don't want them to think I'm some shmoe, okay?

Let's not make a big deal about everything.

What's the problem?

Tala, the Coburn Prize goes to the associate of the year, okay?

If I make a good impression, I'm a shoe-in for board.

Yeah, and me and Mom will be there to cheer you on tonight.

That's why it would be great if you would just...

You know what?

If I show up with this thing on,

they will laugh me out of the room.

It's a family heirloom, and it means a lot to Mom.

She thinks it's bad luck if you don't...

Seriously, sis. Look at this thing.

It's the literal definition of ugly.

Charles?

Where the hell is that from?

This is 5th grade career day.

My friends convinced me to come dressed like Grandpa.

The whole class had a good laugh.

They even gave me a nice plastic thing to cut my "white wice."

God, I hated those little snots.

Always treating you like you were their sidekick.

Making fun of you.

It was a long time ago.

Was it?

Charles, I'm worried about you.

You're always so stressed,

and you've been killing yourself lately to what,

impress a bunch of old white guys?

Oh, you mean my boss and my future father-in-law?

I'm not trying to be a jerk.

You know I love you Charles.

It's just, you're never home and Mom's only getting worse.

We never get to see you.

I'm here, Tala.

Okay?

I'm trying. I'm just, I've been working...

Your ass off for people who don't give a...

- Mom? - Mom?

- Mom? - Mom?

Mom?

Mom!

Mom...

You remember this, right?

I was just going to tell Tala

that I was going to wear it tonight.

It's me, Mom. Charles?

I'm sorry I'm not here more, okay?

She didn't mean it.

It just takes a little bit longer for her to calm down now.

I thought the doctor

was going to give her something to stop it.

Charles. Nothing's stopping it.

It's just...

How come whenever this happens she never recognizes me?

Are you kidding me?

Financial News is projecting

record share highs for Arthur Spencer Capital.

Spencer, pictured here

alongside children Bradley and Jennifer was invited...

Thank you so much.

I can't tell you what it means to accept...

I am such a fan of this.

You're very sexy when you're nervous.

And this week? Smokin' hot.

Who says I'm nervous?

Hey, if I want Arthur on my side,

I need to blow the board away tonight.

My father is on your side.

If he wasn't,

he wouldn't have approved of us getting married.

You're a good man, Charlie Brown.

He knows that.
