Bootstraps

[red, hanging off a cliff]
Please help me, I am hanging from this cliff and will likely fall to my death if nobody lends me a hand

Have you tried pulling yourself up by your bootstraps? This type of entitled behavior from cliffhangers is why we can't have nice things, you always ask other people for help when you could easily pull yourself over this ledge (besides, how did you get there?⁾

[red pulls themselves up]
Huff.. that was a lot of effort but you're right, I could have just gotten myself back up there on my own all along... maybe I was foolish to call for help

[purple kicks red down the cliff while shouting THIS IS SPARTAAAA]

[red]
Whi did you push me back down that cliff? I did or said nothing that would offend you
