Apparently 2 Wrongs Can Make A Right


Here is an example where two wrongs actually make a right and nobody gets kicked in the dick or sent to jail for 8-10 years.



We are shown a split screen of a MAN dialing a phone number. On the other end is a RECEPTIONIST, frantically trying to manage the influx in calls to her switchboard.


Ring Ring

DANIELLE
[Company Name] Do you mind holding?

ANDREW
Yes.

Andrew slaps his forehead realizing he said 'yes' but meant 'no' as in he didn't mind holding.

DANIELLE
Thank you.

[scene]

So Andrew made the first wrong move by reacting with an instinctive answer that was the opposite of what he meant. But then Danielle made her own mistake by thanking Andrew for understanding when in fact Andrew was not agreeing to her request.

So next time someone says to you '2 wrongs don't make a right' you can explain them this example. And if they still disagree with you, shoot them once, then again, to illustrate your point further.
