DDB 10: Topsy-Turvy


Our hero Arnold Bagdikian finds that not even a Big Wrap can help when the billionaire O’Kells are out to get you. “You meet your soul mate and from day one you know (a) this is it; and (b) it will never work,” the Bag Man opines. “Then you spend the better part of your adult live foaming at the mouth about (a) while never forgetting (b). You’re dead in the water, but you just don’t want to admit it. So you go back and forth from (a) to (b) – like a ping pong ball. You feel like an idiot, a fool…and then ping you go back again. For years the O’Kells had been pinging and ponging us and maybe (maybe) we could not let go of the O’Kells because we could not let go of each other. Maybe we needed the O’Kells because it gave Amanda Madison and Arnold Bagdikian a reason for being (for being together) and without that reason there could be no us to speak of, and there could be no real me.”
