Welcome to Night Vale - Carlos's Speech (Condos)

[@zoemiller8531]

"scientifically speaking, speaking from the point of view of mere facts and logic and uhm.." look at the lil scientist getting all nervous over his boyfriend

[@ajroses4267]

Does anyone just coo when Cecil gets so excited about something that he gets AUDIBLY emotional about it and breaks away from his radio voice? It makes my heart warm. :)

[@doodlebrain6594]

April P I do too

[@symphony_in_plaid4592]

I go silently nuts 😂😂😂 (silently so as to not bother my family while I binge WTNV with my earbuds in)

[@rebeccalambert3240]

Yes :)). It's literally the best.

i'm not moving in with anybody if they don't give me this speech

[@ololo518]

@@doodlebrain6594 Back in 2015 I heard Condos so many times, that I memorize everything they said after the weather, including this. It's rough around the edges now, but still remember most of it. It helped me get through some emotional turmoil back then. It's simply beautiful

[@ScottKHluv]

Cecil: "THAT WOULD BE...NEAT!"

[@gladstonekatoa917]

the way I see it in my head is so fucking funny. they're just sitting together - on the couch, at the table, on a blanket in the yard watching the glow cloud as the Sun sets, who knows, who cares? - and Carlos is rambling about nothing and everything and time, and then he says, "I just... uh, I thought it was time for us to build a home together." Cecil: *staring, mouth open, wide-eyed* Carlos: C-Cecil? Cecil: *awkwardly yelling* YES!! Carlos: *jumps from the sudden yelling* Whoa, okay, glad to know you're enthusiastic, love, but- Cecil: *still awkwardly yelling* THAT WOULD BE- WELL, THAT WOULD BE NEAT!!

[@hellevators]

yeah no considering the actual context of it Cecil yelling made some what sense, but like also I headcanon your version so hard

[@sarastbns]

i feel like carlos sounds like a science teacher like that cool teacher that everyone wants to have next semester

[@painland]

my science teacher is pretty cool. mostly I just think that because he saw my WTNV book and said it was his favorite podcast...

[@bananajam2208]

PandaMaximum Gaming id like to believe your science teacher is carlos

[@GlitchyHalo]

And who plays Kahoot and not Quizlet Live XD and lets us out whatever names we want XD

[@enderthebattery4812]

i mean

[@puzzling9321]

Cecil has serious Kermit The Frog sounding "YES!" Going on.

[@onefunkyboi]

i will never unsee, ahem, unhear this ever again

[@catboy2662]

The stuttering is just- *SCREAMING*

[@nochill1233]

After reading "It Devours!" and knowing that the word "neat" it's Carlos' favorite word every time I hear it it is x100 times cuter

[@Kittymouth]

Cecil says he recorded this (since he's never without his microphone!), so do you think he plays it back for himself while Carlos is stuck in that other world? Just to hear his voice when he gets too lonely... Dangit, I'm not even that far along in the podcast! I should not be having such maudlin thoughts! I just got to The Deft Bowman for void's sakes! I need to take my strexmeds and get some sleep. Gotta be happy. Gotta be productive...

[@yumiulrich4eva]

+A.M. HEADCANNON ACCEPTED!

[@radcircles3642]

That's so sad T^T (Head canon accepted)

[@fuzzymonkey1140]

yeah

[@jjd.7177]

Waitwaitwait what if Cecil falls asleep to it by accident one night and halfway through, he wakes up, hears Carlos's voice still speaking, and practically bolts up in bed thinking that Carlos is in the room with him, that he came home. What if tears well up in his eyes when he realizes that Carlos still hasn't come home.

[@yumiulrich4eva]

JJ D. Why you gotta.

[@Miles-qv6oj]

"Neat!" This honestly makes me so happy every time I hear it

[@gravitydefining]

The speech itself was already really beautiful, but you literally gave the words life and it just... Well, it brought me to tears. This is amazing.

[@ZeNamiDesign]

Ahh, thank you so much. ;u;

[@Sherylmikk]

I'm not up to date with wtnv, but this was so melancoholic and fascinating then it became adorable and...awwwww...

[@ololo518]

I stopped listening to wtnv few years ago, have no idea what's going on there and it's still brought me to tears. I still know these words by heart

[@GhostfaceRhys]

Cecil and Carlos are definitely on my OTP list, maybe even ranking as number one above Destiel. （≧∇≦）

[@charzleal]

MissMarine wow... thats a big deal.

[@bbv8848]

Cecilios is literally my only canon OTP like Dean admit it you love Cas

[@squidias]

THIS IS SO NEAT I CANT EVEN

[@hedgieluver34]

I needed to use a monologue for an audition class I'm a part of, and I chose this. I genderbent it(Cecilia and Carla :3) and cut it down a little (just a tad under 2 minutes so I don't get cut off), and it's amazing to work with. Everyone in class thinks it's adorable.

[@doodlebrain6594]

I'm going to use this as a monologue

[@genuineinterest]

That's a wonderful idea. Heck, I might do the same. Night Vale is... very monologuable.

[@αιηα-ι3τ]

It's too early for me to be crying over these dorks, but would ya look at that! I'm crying anyways.

[@moth4474]

I'm pretty sure the background music is a violin version "The Sleeper" by Dispariation It was played live so there's no violin version online, which is a shame, because the song and the writing and the video are gorgeous

[@mudmars]

here’s an transcript for people like me who are going to be wasting a lot of time memorizing this during quarantine, yeehaw! Carlos: Cecil? I was thinking about the series of ongoing actions that we perceive as the present, and the amassing of memories that we treat as the living record of the past and the hopes and dreams and assumptions that we project as the future. I was thinking about time. And about how it means something to so many people, and about how it’s so finite, and also so infinite. I was also thinking about space. About how it is nothing, and then, a point which is just a single spot within the nothing, and a line which separates the nothing into two nothings, and how a plane is a patch of nothing and an angle just where two nothings meet, but all those things combined, with an object of points, lines, planes, and angles, an object with length and width and depth that can take up actual space. Until that object becomes something made of nothing - within nothing. An object can be a wall, a floor, a roof, a bed, a table, a dog, a door, a rug, a…a home. And then, I thought about how a home is just a group of objects connected by a shared personal experience of time - our past, our present, our assumed future. A home is…I mean, uh, scientifically speaking, speaking form the point of view of mere facts and logic, and um…hmm. You know, what with science, and all…uhhh, I- I- I just thought it was…time for us to…make a home together. Cecil: And I said “Yes! Yes! That would be, well, that would be neat!”

[@hwilliams2339]

Same!

[@maxwell.mp4]

DAMN HOW DID U KNOW?

[@ololo518]

I managed to learn it in 2015, second best in a list of my shittiest years. This whole episode helped my so much to go through that year, and I listened to it so many times that I remembered whole part after the weather. I still get goosebumps whenever I heard this speech

[@commonwealpanther]

The way he says, "Cecil" at the opening, it guts me.

[@samlueke2855]

i unironically squealed when cecil said NEAT at the end

[@idolbug1926]

THAT WOULD BE NEAT!

[@rqueens21]

A few weeks ago, I got a chance to get both Condos and The Debate off of BandCamp. Of course, I've listened to the regular podcast episodes and was extremely happy when the creators of WTNV have a couple with two guys in it. It warmed my heart. So when I heard Condos....besides Carlos' new voice actor *damn cute man!* the fact that Cecil and Carlos relationship went to the next step just....I had warm fuzzies that day ^^

[@MomoNadeem]

I LISTENED TO CONDOS LAST NIGHT AND THIS PART MADE ME SO HAPPY INSIDE MY INSIDES STILL FEEL LIKE JELLY AND I WASNT ABLE TO FOCUS ON ANYTHING ALL DAY TODAY CUZ CECILOS IS LIFEE

[@blxckberryb5902]

AND SIX YEARS LATER, THIS STILL MAKES ME CRY!

[@taisgrim]

THAT. WAS. ADORABLE.

I'm using Carlos' speech when I propose to my GF. This shit is deep and beautiful

[@selenejay]

[@ZeNamiDesign]

I know!! Holy crap I'm so honoured!! ;u;

[@meda5162]

sometimes u just gotta listen to this and realize that maybe everything will be okay

[@BIGBANGvip5673]

Sometimes I listen to this just to feel loved😭😭

[@mathilda3683]

SAME 😭😭😭

[@madisonbartlett4776]

This was quite possibly the MOST adorable thing I have seen in all of my years days and minutes.

[@OWorthyFool]

So this is amazing and I rewatch this every few weeks or so... I have a question: Have you thought about doing one for Cecil's speech at the end of Parade Day? That and this are the two strongest speeches, imo, in the show thus far... And you did a FANTASTIC job with this one.

[@ZeNamiDesign]

I've actually considered doing one for his speech at the end of Missing because that one hit me really hard! But Parade Day would be a good one to do, too. Gosh. I'll keep that in mind. I wanna do a little silly one soon from The Debate--and then I'll look into doing another long one. ;u; Aahh thank you so much for rewatching, though!! It means a lot!

[@OWorthyFool]

ZeNami Design I can't wait to see WHATEVER you decide to do!

[@Kittymouth]

I vote for the speech from Missing. That's got to be my favorite episode next to The Shape in Grove Park.

I love this speech. It gives me the good goosebumps. And I just love the way Carlos says Cecil. He says it with such sweetness I’m cryin

[@Therapist_Solarist]

OH MY GOD I SCREMED SO LOUD WWHEN HE SAID YES AND EVEN LOUDER WIT HE SAID "NEAT!"

[@Ecto-Punk-Art]

Somebody animate this nowww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We need this to me animated!!!

[@katyalariviere2055]

I've been thinking about it a lot. If we don't put publicity in front of it, it would be fine, yeah? I mean. They won't flag it? It'd just be for animation practice, mostly, and then, for the fans' enjoyment.

[@bbygirl4168]

+Katya Larivière you tube compared the own content with the other and using only the audio it's OK.

[@KellyJoule]

I was in the audience recording for this over 7 years ago omg, I remember how moved I felt about this moment so well

[@sweepblackdust]

designgasm over the wordless part where it's just points and planes and angles ahhh

[@ashlynx5986]

i always picture carlos talking about all this and cecil listening with this lovestruck face and his eyes are a mixture of adoration and complete wonder and marvelling at how truly smart carlos is

[@juliec8183]

I love that Carlos made this really deep speech as a way to propose to Cecil; It's the kind of thing he'd do. These two are so cute and pure together.

[@limit6267]

Cant believe his monologue in the 10 year anniversary called back to this

[@PieLover815]

CUTEST AND MOST AMAZING THING EVER. OMG. Carlos is one deep guy o_o

[@imapsychicforfun8681]

Listening to this still makes my heart clench to this day

[@annaleighbowser1116]

OTP ALERT OMG

[@nick0ism]

At 1:24 I cried. This video, the way Carlos said the speech, and the exuberance way Cecil replied are wonderful. Just, wonderful.

[@catandmouseandbear]

listening to this at 3 am in 2020 I miss 2014

[@TigerLover22647]

*Reading through the comment section* The Cecilos fandom is strong in this one =3

[@raineteeth]

Can we just talk about the music in the background of Carlos speech? It makes me tear up so much

[@Just-Rosa]

This is so nostalgic... I used to listen to this with my highschool sweetheart... And now we DO live together :)

This is the most adorable thing ever I die a little every time I hear this omg

[@IrisZepezauer]

I'm crying this is so beautiful

[@thetaaaa]

10 years later. Still can't believe Cecil and Carlos invented love.

[@nostop320]

after the 100th episode, this is...... ohhh wow..

[@evabeezero]

I have watched this every time I've run across it since first finding it years ago and every time it makes me get all teary eyed.

[@hollenka9935]

This is such a convoluted way of asking "Would you like to live together?" but I love it so much and am incredibly here for it.

[@teethcollection_]

i watch this when i'm lonely, i love this video so insanely much. kudos to you and the nightvale team

[@fuzzymonkey1140]

me and my cousin fangirled so hard we cryed when he said it would be neat and every time i see it I still do

[@pocketbug1]

I seriously just squeaked this is so cute and sweet and i just want to hug carlos and cecil because they are so cute together and just hnngggg

[@Bibliosection]

Okay, but like, Carlos talked about time when he and Cecil were in the Arby's parking lot (when their romance really began) and here he is talking about time in his proposal. Just emphasizes the connection all the more!

[@altf4undo01]

i remember seeing this years ago before i'd ever heard of night vale, and coming back to watch it now when i've started listening to it feels so... complete? i don't know if that's the proper phrasing but it just makes me feel warm and part of a whole. thank you for this upload :)

[@JPlovesmusic]

i cried everything i listened to this. and i listened to it....over and over and over. unendingly beautiful.

[@michellefleck9857]

i am crying this is so cute i love cecil&carlos so so much

[@sabyasachiroy7482]

This video was what got me into night vale and i am so grateful.

[@etzlimorgan7451]

During episode 65 (voicemail) when I heard Carlos say “CECIL! oh honey voiced honey! You can visit now! I love you.” I literally paused the episode put my phone down and squealed for a good 5 minutes. I love them so much

[@tasmanianmagpie6056]

Carlos is me beating around the bush when I’m trying to ask something important And also, I literally teared up and was so freakin’ happy beyond words when I heard the excitement and emotion in Cecil’s voice

[@lilianhandy6273]

when I first heard Carlos' voice I was surprised bc I thought he would have a deeper voice. but I love him so much!

[@taisgrim]

I don't listen to WTNV anymore but I stumbled upon this again while searching for Dylan Marron's other work. What a blast from the past, and still moving as hell. This podcast will always have a place in my heart 💕

coming back to this after you know they get married hits _different_

[@mikicandy12]

the neat part always kills me i can't :'D

[@jjju3]

"AND I SAID YES!" its so euphoric everytime the voice of nightvale loses his composure. Getting angry at _Steve Clarksburg_ or trailing off about carlos but. Or the nervousness sometimes in the earlier episodes when he talks to Carlos. Its 90% carlos that does it but- This specific example. He sounds like hes jumping, his voice lowering slightly but LOUDLY. That " OH MY GOD!" sensation. Cecil baldwin is such a good actor.

[@kdenueva]

this is so cute and i probably cried

[@everloreian]

Such a sweet perfect speech and this video made it even better!

This is so so amazing oh my gosh and so WONDERFULLY DONE.

[@d.lan3y]

Yes, Cecil. That would be VERY neat, Cecil.

[@genuineinterest]

I just read the transcript because, y'know, not being able to see or buy the recording and all that. I imagined it to the best of my abilities, but this... oh, if perfection existed, this would be close. "And I saiD YES!!!" is _killing_ me. Perfect voice acting all around.
