Excerpt fromLike Brothersby Mark Duplass and Jay Duplass
PROLOGUE
The royal we is a tricky thing.
Its certainly helpful at times.
Ballantine Books
How we share the same brain.
How one pronoun can encompass us both.
Basically, we use it to talk about ourselves because it brings our voices together.
But it also sucks sometimes.
Because theres a distinct lack of I in that we.
Sometimes a little bit.
But its for the greater good, right?
People want to listen to Fleetwood Mac.
So we use the royal we.
And in the past ten years or so, The Boys have become a brand of sorts.
The ideal creative duo.
And we feel many peoples hopes and dreams pinned upon us.
That we will stay together and live in collaborative bliss forever.
Its hard making good art, and wed rather put aside our differences and get each others help.
And all of this is true, but not entirely so.
How we struggled for years trying to make a decent piece of art together.
How this success has brought its own set of challenges.
How our intense closeness through the years has caused trouble for our girlfriends and now our wives.
And how on a daily basis we cry more than grown men should.
But laugh a shit-ton as well.
