The Cousin

I really like this episode. Though it could have been made a bit more neatly. I don't know about you, but I've come across "cousins" like this quite often. You can't exactly call her stupid — however, the moment such a cousin opens her mouth, out pours just a remarkable torrent, a veritable tsunami, of clichés and stock phrases. People like this fill me with complete and utter delight (in the ironic sense) :))) The mechanism is simple — having not a single original thought of their own, such people rely entirely on things they've heard, seen and read. Some of them can even skillfully create the impression of being fairly intelligent, concealing absolute inner emptiness behind a large collection of borrowed bits and pieces. Though such people don't entertain for long. Careful here — after about 10 minutes of cheerful conversation you may unexpectedly feel like hanging yourself.
