Lynn: Just let me play with you! I can handle these games easily!

[Cut to Lynn struggling at a Space Invasion arcade game]

Lynn: Come on! Move up!

Lincoln: You can't! you only move left and right! Stop mashing the buttons crazily! You're moving all over the place!

Lynn: GAH!!!

[The screen flashes "GAME OVER"]

Lincoln: Handle it easily. Huh?

Lynn: Why are you being so petty about this? I'm not used to playing games with a lever thing or a button and have it move some dude on a screen and- and- it's all confusing for me!

Lincoln: You just said you could do it with ease before.

Lynn: Well, that's cause- because- (sigh) Lincoln. I never thought I'd have to ask this ever in my life, but... can you... can you... tr-... oh man, this is gonna be heard to say.

Lincoln: What?

Lynn: ...Can you train me?! Please?!

[Lynn puts her hands on her face in humiliation]

Lynn: This story's making a chump out of me!

Lincoln: Lynn. Come on! Many people aren't good at video games. It's not a bad thing!

Lincoln: Well... the tournaments not until this weekend, so sure. I can, but it won't be easy.

Lynn: Come on. you know me. I'm great at everything. It'll be easy to master.

Lincoln: I hope so. Come on! Let's see if we can find a simple game. Oh! There's Super Duper Plumber's Quest.

Lynn: That sounds lame.

Lincoln: It does at first, but trust me. It's a lot more fun than it sounds! (turns on video game) Okay, so you use the joystick on the controller to move the plumber left to right.

Lynn: What does up and down do?

Lincoln: Up does nothing. Down is to crawl down a pipe. You press the A button to jump and the B button to attack, but that's only when you have a power-up.

Lynn: Alright, I'll just run over there and hit that mushroom and-

[Lynn's player dies]

Lynn: What?!

Lincoln: Lynn! No! Those walking mushrooms kill you!

Lynn: I can't punch them?!

Lincoln: No! You have to jump on them!

Lynn: What kind of game doesn't have you punch your enemies?! Sounds lame.
