Transcription v2

Here's the second piece I found. Its a lot shorter (thank god). If the length of v1 deters you, just read the last paragraph, it probably the most salvageable part. Now on to v2 though, which came out very reminiscent of The Ladykillers...

As a whole this piece sucks, its just easy to write egoist asshole characters, so in this case I did.

Look, it doesn't matter what you think or say, the simple fact is that it can be scientifically proven that I am smarter than everyone of the other people we know. Name a realm to contest; mathematics, visualization, literature, science, mechanical ability, artistic ability even. Or maybe the most obvious of them all, IQ, pure intelligence quotient. The fact is that none of you can compete with me. Period.

A kind of silence came over the table, everyone looking down into their own version of coke. Kyle rolls his eyes and inhales, drawing everyone's attention back to him. "Here's the thing guys, I know all this, and I've accepted it. Then I decided to not hold it over other people. That's the way I've chosen to live, but that's only half of what matters. The second part is for you guys to suck it up, accept it as well and stop being such a bunch of whiny baby tear jerk-asses about it.

Chip Rolled his head towards Kyle, in that way he always does. No one doubted that chip was the dumbest of the group, no, there had not been any meetings to declare that, it was simply known. "But, (pause) but..." The group waited, it usually took more time for chip to form thoughts that he bought with his head rolling. "But I'm better at fishing than you Kyle, remember that time?" Again a pause, and the group heads turn to await the response (of which there is always a response, chip has never stumped anyone, let alone Kyle). Kyle shrugs his shoulders, then looks up with a placating smile. "Yes, you are a better fisherman than me Chip, but that is a skill, not an intelligence. It would be like you saying you are a better runner than I, or better at lifting heavy chunks of metal. I'm sure all that is true, and I'm also sure that it doesn't make you any smarter than me."
