YOUR FAILURES WILL LEAD YOU TO YOUR SUCCESS
Oh, thank goodness. I was hoping it was leading somewhere.

Bread today is better than cake tomorrow
Disagree. Cake is always better.
Disagree. Cake is always better.
So you've never had really good homemade bread, huh?
Do not let what you do not have prevent you from using what you do have.
That's not really a fortune though, is it.

You know you're supposed to open that after you eat.

I met Bob.

You can open doors with your charm and patience.
Oh, that's me alright.
Oh, that's me alright.
I don't think that counts since you took my fortune cookie.
And you don't really come across as charming or patient.

Meeting adversity well is the source of your strength.
Well, alright.
Well, alright.
Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
[She scoffs, crumpling the paper in her hand.]
And too long to avoid it.

Not another fucking fortune cookie.
Someone stole your fortune and replaced it with this one. Your luck sucks. Have a good day!
The fuck?

[The scruffy Englishman on the next table leans over, waving a little slip of paper. He hasn't opened his own cookie yet.]
Missing something?
[Listen, sometimes close-up magicians gotta close-up magic.]

[You are broad minded and socially active.]

Warning, do not eat your fortune.
*he totally wasn't going to. Really. He might have been. Who knows?*
...awww man.

To be old and wise, you must first be young and stupid.
I like to think I'm still young and stupid.

A. "Everyone agrees. You are the best."
Boy, this one could be dangerous in the wrong hands if someone takes it too seriously!
B. "TOO MANY PEOPLE VOLUNTEER TO CARRY THE STOOL WHEN ITS TIME TO MOVE THE PIANO"
Gahaha sounds like someone was really going through it when they wrote that!
C. "You don't need the answers to all of life's questions. Just ask your father what to do."
[Hahaha... that slip of paper is just gonna casually disappear into his hand.]
The advice on some of these sure is something else. Which one did you get?

"How can you have a beautiful ending without making beautiful mistakes." [ he wrinkles his nose. ] I'm not really sure what a "beautiful" mistake is supposed to be.
Sounds like something Bob Ross would say. I don't know if it is really - I think I would rather have a beautiful now then a beautiful ending.
"Ones always regrets what could have done. Remember for next time."
[He stared down at the fortune with a sad look on his face before crumpling it up in anger and throwing it at you.]

"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams."
... Hm. [He's not sure what to make of it.]

"Bread today is better than cake tomorrow."
That sounds like Russian bullshit. Why would I not just have cake today?

1. The love of your life is sitting across from you.
2. You will prosper in the field of wacky inventions.
3. Life to you is a bold and dashing responsibility.
4. When you're about to turn your heart into a stone remember: you do not walk alone.
[She's chomping her way through a whole pile of fortune cookies, and might have just snarfed down a bunch of fortune papers along with them, but at least a few have escaped the carnage. She doesn't seem to be reading them, though, staring at whoever approaches between bites.]
