Thank you. That was my point. You said it much better, though.Kelly wrote:But yeah, Jonas shouldn't know enough about Brother to ask the question in either form. I mean, if I were to ask, "He's not like, really brother, is he?" I would be making the suggestion that I had some reason to think it was not the person I already knew to be brother. Jonas doesn't even know who brother is...nor has he even seen him on camera...so why would Jonas ask if it wasn't really brother. It's just the word choice that's thrown me. If he had asked, "Is it really brother?" That would have made more sense...but to make the statement/question "It isn't really brother, is it?" Is strange.
That's why it really wouldn't even make sense for him to have said "It isn't, like, really Brother, is it?" I'm still confident he said "her brother," but that it didn't come out clearly because he paused (to find words?) and then began again while exhaling after a breath.
I think Brother being slow of wit was supposed to be an act.Kasdeja wrote:Well, brother is supposed to be rather dim...maybe he didn't look smart enough to be involved, let alone fly the helicopter?
