bradley: ok boys let's get to work we need to film another over-the-top youtube video to abuse the kids' senses
claire: i don't know bradley all of this seems pretty unethical.. i know i willingly signed a contract but i feel like we're crossing a line here
bradley: ok claire why don't you tell us why you feel this way
claire: well i mean with all the exaggerated voices i feel more like a clown if anything
bradley: yes that's an accurate description of your role here
claire: i'm sorry? i thought we were just characters that the kids can laugh with but you are agreeing with my fear?
bradley: yes i'm sorry but in what way is your character relatable claire the only thing you do is fake cry and have everyone console you
claire: so this is specific to my character and the rest of the cast isn't as much as a clown as me
bradley: yes that's exactly right
petey: bradley you're being a little mean to poor weenie claire awww claire are you ok do you need a hug need a little kissy kiss want a little consolement from your colleague want a little love
bradley: i was under the impression that claire was aware of how she comes off in the youtube videos i didn't think this would be such a big deal
claire: well no because i thought we were all on the same level
petey: you cry claire
claire: it's an integral part of my character that doesn't mean i'm lower than you guys
bradley: ok what do you suppose we do then do you not want to record the lines anymore
claire: i don't know are the kids going to laugh at me because if so i don't know if i wanna be here
petey: here's an idea what if we save claire because she's a helpless princess stuck in a castle and we are the masculine heroes
bradley: this argument wasn't gendered at all petey but i like the idea but you know only if claire is the princess
claire: are you doing this on purpose never have i seen you be discriminating bradley
petey: awh claire are you okay?? do you need a little hug a little kiss to make those bad feelings go away
bradley: what do you mean this is how i always talk
claire: why should i be the helpless princess stuck in the castle
bradley: you always cry i mean between the three of us the kids would obviously expect the whiny baby to be locked up and screaming for help you do see that right
petey: yeah claire you aren't stupid enough to not see that right
claire: yes i see it i guess but that doesn't automatically mean i HAVE to be the helpless prisoner. i could be one of the heroes too and provide comedic relief to the kids so they can laugh with me at my actions like being bitten in the ass by a piranha
bradley: i don't think the kids would laugh with you in that situation more like what a dumb idiot for being bitten by a piranha
claire: okay bradley you know what if you don't do what i say i quit
petey: we don't care claire
bradley: nooo claire don't leave if you leave our brand falls apart you are an integral part of the team no one will recognize us if you're not there
claire: okay then i don't want to be the butt of the joke anymore i want to have a say in the script and be treated like an equal character
bradley: petey might think otherwise but you aren't the butt because of your gender but because of circumstance
claire: so just hire a different voice actor to be the butt
bradley: and have you suddenly act valiantly?? that's not exactly how that works i don't think the kids will like such a sudden character shift
claire: what do you propose then
bradley: okay let's hire another person who slowly over the course of i don't know a few months becomes the stupid character while your character becomes like mine and petey
petey: i like that but the new person has to be feminine presenting bradley and claire has to be noticeably below the two of us
claire: bradley you HAVE to fire petey he's so weird
