I said nothing of deficiency. But Puddleglum is very tall, and to play him right, Glen would have to either be a lot taller or use stilts. She'd also need green skin and webbed feet. Playing Puddleglum is not as easy as you might think.
 
I agree with Sopes. I don't fit the qualifications at all. My shortness should give me a more serious outlook on life, but I'm afraid I haven't managed yet. It's frustrating. Although the frustration doesn't surprise me, it's just a natural result of not getting what you want. Wanting things causes an awful lot of trouble.
 
No, really, I have high hopes for you. I bet the director saw your brilliant work as Marvin in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I'm surprised he hasn't contacted you yet.
 
I wasn't Marvin. I was only fifteen when that movie came out, and I would have been much too flighty. Life isn't all fricasseed eels and frog pie, but don't expect a fifteen-year-old to tell you that. They probably don't even know what "fricassee" means. Not that I blame them, of course. Overly high expectations can cause serious interpersonal problems.
 
I've never seen the Shrek movies. And no, I don't plan on it, either. I doubt anyone really likes them, it's just that people are trying to watch whatever is popular so that they fit appropriately into their society. Which would be more admirable if they would be more serious about it. Squealing about what they are sacrificing to achieve societal harmony is entirely unnecessary. But that's just the way it is. At least they are trying to achieve something positive (though entirely transitory, and frequently ineffective).
 
Fear is a perfectly understandable response to the desperate condition of the human and Marshwiggle races, but you do need to be realistic about the world we live in. If you can't be, of course, that's only to be expected. Most humans find realism difficult.
 
All things pass
Like the grass
And death will take the young,
But eels are fine
Smoked in a line.
You'll think they taste like dung.

Wigwams are grand
Staked in the sand--
The drafts are sure to kill you.
The beds are hard
(You'll hate the yard),
So here's some drink to fill you.
 
...Nevermind my earlier objections.

You'd make a perfect Puddleglum, Glen. They'll fix your height issue in post, I reckon.
 
Marshwiggle brew wouldn't work for most people. They hate it. Just ask Eustace. Offering it is a matter of politeness. Although some people hate politeness.

There's really no solution to life's tough problems at all. Although chopping off the Witch's head will make things seem better temporarily, bright summers mean wet autumns, nothing gold can stay, etc.

All that is gold does not glitter?
 
Nothing glitters unless it is about to kill you. All who wander when not lost are either untrustworthy or being pursued by someone untrustworthy. The old that is strong is very deadly and you should probably avoid it. Deep roots are not reached by the frost, or by anyone else, and as a result the people unable to reach them generally freeze to death.
