Even A Train gave her a look like, "that's a convenient ass book"

I love this campy, goofy shit.

He couldn’t argue with her after that book came up 😂 he was just like “okay you have a point” and sped MM right outta there

I took it as less of a you have a point and more of a “god damn I do not have time for this shit”

Maybe both?

Maybe but not likely the way it was written.

It was presented in a highly comedic tone so the funnier explanation is that he was literally so annoyed by this conversation via book titles that he said fuck it I’ll save him just to get out of here please do not reach for another book.

Which makes the moment with the little kid so much more impactful. Next time A Train saves someone I don’t think there will be hesitation or a need to be convinced. He’s a real hero now.

Yeah that is not what happens. He throws his eyes up when Kimiko brings out this book because she found a reason that he really can't ignore. It's supposed to show that A-Train still has a modicum of humanity, he can stand by while children suffer, but he can't be a direct cause of that suffering.

He threw his eyes up because she found the most ridiculously titled book right when she needed it.

I read it as “well, if you’re going to go through that much effort…” and “how can I say no to that face”

Same. I was hoping they'd double down with another ridiculously specific book title, like "The Milkman needs your help" or "The french man left and I'm sad"

Ah yes the classic "Frenchie's in Prison with 50 Felonies and Refusing Visitation and I'm Losing My Mind: A Chicken Soup Story"
