I didn’t really even need to pull an all-nighter, I would have had time if I’d gone to bed and finished it during the day, but I felt like if I stopped, it would be really hard to start again.

The similarities between “Twins” and “Jack Shows Meg His Tesla Coil”—both feature famous siblings or ostensible siblings, both feature the unwelcome conversation of a waiter, and characters with an uncanny ability to rattle off facts—compounded by the appearance in both of Cinqué Lee—or between “Somewhere in California” and “Cousins?” both of which show games of one-upmanship being played by performers who refer to their real-life personae and careers, are not essentially different from the ways the Miller’s Tale and the Reeve’s Tale reflect upon each other in Chaucer, both of which feature students, adultery, and humiliation of the cuckolded husband.
