IS THAT A THING?

IS THAT A THING THAT CAN HAPPEN?!

WHY CAN THAT HAPPEN?!

I DON'T KNOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW

[epimethean]

Wait, wait, wait, waitwait, don't--don't panic! Don't...panic. I'm sure there's a--a perfectly logical explanation for all this that doesn't involve mind control at all.

[originaloddcouple]

BUT WE'RE TALKING ON A SPECIAL SECRET NETWORK DESIGNED TO PROBABLY MAYBE FIGHT ALIENS!

AND YOU'RE BRITISH!

ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!!

[epimethean]

What does--what does me being British have to do with anything? Why is everyone always so hung up on that!?

[originaloddcouple]

THE BRITISH ARE MAGICAL PEOPLE, WHEATLEY! TAP INTO THE POWER WITHIN!

[epimethean]

Uh...no, we're not. We're...really not.

[originaloddcouple]

YOU'RE DENYING YOUR TRUE POTENTIAL!

[epimethean]

What are you talking about?

[originaloddcouple]

YOU NEED TO USE YOUR SURPRISINGLY CHARISMATIC ACCENT FOR GOOD!

BELIEVE IN THE ACCENT THAT MAKES YOU SOUND INTELLIGENT!!

[epimethean]

[SHOT THRU THE HEART

AND UR 2 BLAME]

Okay, okay, hold up. I am intelligent! I'm very intelligent! My accent's got nothing to do with that!

[originaloddcouple]

No, the accent plays a big part.

The major majority of it.

[epimethean]

All right, one, that's insulting to me and my computer science degree, and you're honestly just--just insulting yourselves, at this point, with your implication that your accents make you less intelligent.

[originaloddcouple]

...We have accents?

No, I don't think so. I think he's wrong there.

[epimethean]

You have American accents, yeah.

[originaloddcouple]

I think we'd know if we had accents.

[epimethean]

No, no, it's true! Accents are relative, here--

[And lo, Wheatley's best approximation of an American accent, all drawn-out vowels and over-enunciated consonants.]

I'm speaking in your accent right now.

[originaloddcouple]

Y...You're just speaking in a silly voice.

I-I don't think that's an actual accent that exists.

[epimethean]

[STILL AT IT]

No, nope, this is definitely what all of you sound like.

[originaloddcouple]

...No, see that sounds weird. We sound normal!

[epimethean]

[okay okay he's done]

Point is, everyone's got an accent.

[originaloddcouple]

Nope! Just you!

[epimethean]

Okay, well, what about people from other countries?

[originaloddcouple]

Okay, them too.

But mostly you.

[epimethean]

Point is, it's really--it's really not a big deal.

[originaloddcouple]

No, it's different!

See, there's Russian, German, Italian accents...

and then there's BRITISH accents.
