If one of your daughters loves you enough to not offer false flattery & your other daughters are evil, you should probably stick with the first one unless you want to be outside in the middle of a storm yelling & then die along with every decent person you know.

*Read for class.

Yes, this one I enjoyed quite a bit. Especially the part where Lear, "Tom" (Edgar) and Joker are being completely mad. Precious.
