So I wasn't the only one wishing he'd just go ahead and jump. At first, I was like "Poor Todd. Marty's being really mean with this trick." But after awhile, his obtuseness and wimpiness was irritating and I found myself wishing Marty would just go ahead and push him off the roof to stop the whining and cowering.

A word of encouragement can make the difference between giving up or going on.
