...Is It the Design on the Wrapper? (1997)

A woman dressed garishly in bubble-gum colors conducts an opinion survey about bubble gum consumer habits at a street market. Her interviewee, a girl of six or seven, is in turn determined, convinced, engaged, skeptical, annoyed, and distracted by other, more important things. Written by Eileen Berdon {eberdon@aol.com}

I'd rather have it in MP4 format but FLV had higher resolution, so...

Subtitles are done!

Many thanks go to Night. Whatever you say about your eyes, your ears are critically discerning. I timed them (the subs) for the higher resolution file. Just have to turn the volume up a little. Posted below.

My second favorite part is where she breaks down fake-crying in order to elicit sympathy and incite the growing mob against the poor innocent woman. What a mean little girl!

What a dubious view of the little girl! You think she was encouraging the mob of people to torment the lady? Were they fake tears, too? (they technically probably were) By the end, I felt bad for the poor bubblegum lady!

Night, you ARE right about her derpy muppet voice when she's imitating the concerned man. It is so good.

I liked, in a cinematic appreciation way, how much the girl is manhandled by her mother. Yanking her by the arm and grabbing her by the head, all the while she's sticking her head through rails and climbing on stuff.

As the short goes on, it's hilarious how fruit and gum start falling on the ground, everywhere, and getting run over by the truck and stepped in.

I tried to preserve a few small aspects of her accent, with her abbreviated words, dropped pronouns and conjunctions. I considered using quotation marks, but I was afraid it would look cluttered. Let me know if you think they should go in. And I tried to go easy on the ellipses. Sometimes it's hard not to shovel them in, when, when, the speakers are, errr. I don't want to leave any crumbs out which would attract The Ellipsicabra.
