comment |
The Hero and a friend, usually The Lancer are preparing to do something dangerous. Nerves are strained and tension is high. Before they go do the dangerous thing, The Lancer turns to The Hero and asks "Are you ready?" The response is always "I Was Born Ready."
A variation where The Hero asks The Lancer if they're ready is common, and the wording can vary. |
