Kiro: And then I showed up and screwed everything over? Look, Daisy, whether I’m cursed or not, the camp is running out of food. I have to do something.
Daisy: You’re right about that, but…
Daisy: You chose to exploit it for a power play rather than making the sensible choice – offer to work together to retrieve food from the ship. You may have good intentions, but you haven’t been here long enough to see how bad it gets when things break down, eh.
Kiro: …says Daisy, who was banished from camp for reasons.
Daisy: I’ve still been here much longer than you.
Is this some of that ‘Do as I say, not as I do’ business?
If you can learn from the mistakes of others, it saves SO much time. It is not always practical, because you don’t know what will become important. Best line, “Says Daisy who was banished from camp for reasons.” Best line.
Daisy does raise good points.
That said, she’s probably not in a brilliant position to make them. Not only is she banished, she’s also just been revealed as Darrien’s sister (and Darrien and Kiro are not on great terms). Plus, I’d say it’s a little late to try to say all this now. The boats are burned, the die is cast, however you like to say it; it’s too late now.
“Is this some of that ‘Do as I say, not as I do’ business?” – I don’t think so. To me, it sounds more like “I’ve learned this the hard way”.
Seems like everyone thinks the same way here.
Both Daisy and A kind of knew what Kiro’s plan was when she told them after visiting the library and they didn’t bother to say anything then. Maybe they didn’t realize the extent of it, but they knew the bulk of it. Sometimes it’s helpful to be like “You really blew it” and maybe it’s okay to mention it here, but yeah – things are already moving so it’s time to fix them.
Kiro’s plan seems to me like it was largely dancing around the issue of “how do I get people to play along without telling them the truth?” Which is kind of understandable, since most of the kids would either think she’s insane or a liar. Kiro’s biggest problem seems to be that she was feeling desperate enough to use whatever tools she could possibly get a hold of without knowing whether it was going to work in the long run.
I can’t say I’d reasonably expect any normal teen in her position to handle things as ideally as Daisy is suggesting. Clearly, the camp’s, ahem, political history seems to indicate as such. Though I am interested to see if she and the others can still put their heads together and figure out a way to fix this before it *really* hits the fan.
“Is this some of that ‘Do as I say, not as I do’ business?”
More like “Do as I say, not as I’ve done because I know what I’m talking about.” It’s easy to accuse people of hypocrisy. Not so easy to see them as a source of experience.
“Don’t get in a car wreck.”
“But you’ve been in twelve car wrecks!”
Yea, and they know that car wrecks are no fun.
Doesn’t make her wrong.
But yeah, there’s a time limit and being wrong has costs.
