Why Has No One Thought of This Before?

Trevor is reading Pride and Prejudice. And he has a theory:

"Man, Darcy hasn't been in the story for a while. What's he up to? Is he in London? You know, like, fighting crime? ... Dude! It all makes sense now! The mild-mannered wealthy gentleman Fitzwilliam Darcy secretly fights crime on the streets of London by night as--the Batman!"

And from there it only got worse.

"Think of the similarities! They're both rich and attractive, yet mysteriously unmarried. Their parents are dead. They were both basically raised by servants. They get all the ladies. We should make a chart!"

And worse...

"And Bingley, he's like a weird little fruity dude. He could be Robin!"

"To the Bat-coach!"

And worst:

"Also, if I were a rapper, my name would be Fitzwilly-D."



Also, he's taken to reenacting scenes from P&P after he reads them to make sure he's on the right track. He uses his hands as characters and does squeaky voices. My favorite was the scene where Darcy proposes for the first time: "OMG Elizabeth I love you marry me." "No, I hate you, you made Bingley not marry Jane!" "But I can explain!" "You're the last man I could ever marry!" "Fine I never liked you anyway I'll just write you a letter bitch."


I love him so much. I'll tell him after I stop laughing.
