BIANCA V.O.
Ever since I was a girl I was always inferior to my older brother, Barnacles.
Well, he was only older by four minutes, but those four minutes seemed to be the difference between success and failure.

In grade school he was always top in the class.
In high school he was always in the top five.
He got into university and became what he is today.
Bring in £360,000 a year...
Commander Barnacles polar bear...

And what happened to me?
Well...

I was always the bottom of the barrel for a lot of things.

I had to retake grade 10.

And when I finish school at 19 I promptly got married.

And what happened will that that?
I got pregnant by accident and had twins at 20.
I divorced my husband Avalanche 7 years later.

And here I am. Unemployed with two kids...
Bianca polar bear...

BIANCA

URSA
Yeah...

BIANCA

Orson elbows Ursa.

BIANCA

ORSON
No...

BIANCA
Alright. Do better next time.

ORSON
You're not mad?

BIANCA
I'd be a hypocrite if I were.

URSA
Uh... What?
