Capítulo 3 de 14 · 1'52"
At a family dinner, Mario and Luigi's commercial is picked apart: white gloves, bad acting, and a father who calls the whole plan crazy. "You don't leave a steady job for some crazy dream," he says. Afterward, one brother admits, "I'm just sick and tired of feeling so small."

He starts as backup, then the repeat of sick and tired lets the hurt catch up.
At dinner, the family reviews Mario and Luigi's TV commercial and mostly laughs at it. One relative tells them not to quit their day jobs, and their father calls the idea crazy, warning that Mario is dragging his brother down. Later, Luigi tells Mario he is not a burden and confesses how tired he is of being told he is small.
The scene sets ambition against a family that cannot take it seriously. The commercial is treated as a joke, and the father states the rule clearly: "You don't leave a steady job for some crazy dream." His harshest charge is not that Mario will fail but that he is "bringing your brother down with you" — the fear of making someone else pay for your risk. What saves the scene from being just a scolding is Luigi's answer: "I'm just sick and tired of feeling so small." It turns the family's doubt into the film's theme, and it tells us the brothers are chasing self-respect as much as success.

“You don't leave a steady job for some crazy dream.”
The father names the real trade-off: security versus a dream he can't price.
Neutral
“I'm just sick and tired of feeling so small.”
A lifetime of being told no is compressed into one word: small.
Informal
“The world laughed at da Vinci, too.”
History as a shield: being laughed at is not the same as being wrong.
Neutral
“You're bringing your brother down with you.”
The objection shifts from you to your brother, and the real fear is not failure but dragging family down.
Neutral
“Our whole lives, everyone's telling us we can't do this, we can't do that.”
The repeated we can't lines up a lifetime of being told no, so the frustration arrives in order.
Informal
I think you're nuts. You don't leave a steady job for some crazy dream. And the worst part? You're bringing your brother down with you.
Hey. Uh, you're not bringing me down. You know what? What do they know, huh? It's not just them. Our whole lives, everyone's telling us we can't do this, we can't do that. I'm just sick and tired of feeling so small.
Siguiente · 04as long as we're togetherLa escena: Mario and Luigi Get SeparatedThey think it looks amateurish — the outfits, the white gloves, the acting. For them it is evidence that Mario and Luigi have made a foolish choice, not a career.
He values steady work above all. His objection is not only that Mario might fail, but that he has risked his brother's future too, which for him is the worst part.
That Mario is not bringing him down. He says he is tired of a lifetime of being told what they cannot do, and admits he is sick of feeling small.
It means being completely fed up. Luigi uses it to describe his exhaustion with being treated as unimportant, which is the emotional turning point of the scene.
