fuck you

"Five... four... three... two..."

"... one stands for all of us united in the faith. Wurdaan, do you know what that means?"

"Uh..."

"It means that I must ask you to stop bullying Miss Spensley, Wurdaan. It's unseemly for a man of the faith to treat..."

"This is Ground Control to Cowman, we have liftoff. You'll be entering space in a few minutes..."

"... please bear with me. This is going to work, I know."

"As much as anything works in your life, Soup Kitchen."

"Fuck off."

"We're not getting drunk and robbing a bank."

"It'd be really, really fun."

"Prepare to detach the first stage, Cowman. You'll be over the Pacific very..."

"...soon."

"No."

"Is it because you fuck cows? I bet it's because you fuck cows."

"Why would you even think that, man."

"I've been around cowfuckers all my life, you've got that Look."

"What does that even mean? Don't fingerguns me. I hate you."

"Congratulations, Cowman. You've made.."

"... it. Look at you, college bound and everything."

"Barely."

"Oh shut up, where I grew up we were all fucking dumbasses and we still made it."

"I'm a dumbass as well!"

"You literally did twice as well on the GCSE, bastard."

"Technically it was three."

"Engage the PRU and the CES, that'll carry you the rest of the..."

"... way there."

"I'm not going to make it that far, Cowman."

"Yes, you fucking are."

"No, Cowman. Look at me. I've... I've got something for you. In my dresser? There's a book called Minuet in Gold. It's my blessing and my curse."

"Don't talk like that."

"Mhm. It's in my dresser."

"Should be able to cruise in comfort the rest of the way there, Cowman. We'll be here if there's anything else you need in your stay..."

"... on the line, please. Your call is important to us and a representative will be around to help you soon. Please stay on the line."

"Ground control, this is Cowman. I'm not coming back." Finger hovering over a red switch. "I'm never coming back."

...

"Daddy, my star's gone!"

"Oh, honey, your star isn't gone. It's just... changed into a colourful mist."

"Why did it do that?"

"Sometimes, it's the star's time to go and become something bigger."

"Will our star do that?"

"Eventually, but it'll wait until we're all ready to be without it."
