The Play

Mr. Perfect: Hey! What’s up man?

Dr. Strange: Oh…hi.

Mr. Perfect: So how did you feel about my presentation?

Dr. Strange: It was…interesting.

Mr. Perfect: What do you mean bro?!

Dr. Strange: I don’t know it did not seem like it was by you. You don’t normally do presentations like that.

Mr. Perfect: So…

Dr. Strange: I have known you for almost all of your life and you have never seen you like that.

Mr. Perfect: You don’t know my life bro.

Dr. Strange: Well that isn’t how you are supposed to act at a meeting it was unprofessional and disconcerting to see you like that.

Mr. Perfect: Well you are acting different as well, you acting like you are a cool and shiz; please.

Dr. Strange: You just think you are the bee’s knees huh, well you act like a big kid when you are just like the rest of us. Without your spotlight you freeze with the rest of us.

Mr. Perfect: You are one to talk! You are over here talking thinking you are the boss, you were that guy in the meeting, now you are a big shot! Hah!

Dr. Strange: Well we all have our faults. Yours weren’t apparent. Mine were.

Mr. Perfect: I guess I am the outsider.

Dr. Strange: I guess I am the perfect one.

Unison: I guess were are not ourselves…Who are we?

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
