#HE HAD TO HAVE SQ TELL HIM THE MOST COMMON-SENSE PRESCHOOL ANSWER EVER BECAUSE HE'S TOO ARROGANT TO SEE IT IN FRONT OF HIS FACE

I applaud Book Curtain for thinking he'd be able to keep up his act of stealing Mr. Benedict's identity for more than five minutes. /s

Even if he had gotten rid of Number Two and Milligan and the kids and somehow gotten Rhonda to be quiet (Maybe by threatening her/the others because he's scum), the whole scheme would have fallen apart so quickly.

Unlike Show Nathaniel, Book Curtain can't act to save his life. He's a complete disaster and would miss some vitally important detail because he's a narcissist and thinks everyone else is so stupid they won't notice.

I mean, seriously, what did he think was going to happen??? The time it took to set up his plans wouldn't be enough for someone to reveal him like a Scooby Doo villain?? Captain Plugg wouldn't notice something was up??? The people Nicholas regularly interacted with in town wouldn't be weirded out by his "personality change"??? The few government people who actually liked him wouldn't think something was up??? Violet Hopefield or John (You bet I'm dragging them into this. Everyone gets to get in on insulting Curtain for his stupid plan) wouldn't get upset he hadn't written to them and come check??? Noland, the one guy who actually kind of knows what's going on but is also under Curtain's radar wouldn't sound the alarm????

I know @acollectionofcuriousreblogs and @mvshortcut were talking about how desperate he was earlier, but come on. This man is so bad at plans. Literally gets beaten by children and the family he looks down on for, like, four whole books and not once does he change his plans/pattern. The man deserves to be railed on for his idiocy every once and a while
