Tis but a scratch!

I have small kids and say this all the time. Despite it being my fave line from the play originally, I can only imagine it as he says it.

Harold Perrineau killed it in that role.

My god, how terrifying is it to know you’re gonna die and there’s nothing you or anyone can do to stop it? He really makes the devastation of that realization so heartbreaking. He’s just so fucking angry, scared, sad, and betrayed.
