The thing is,

I should've been there for him too.

I didn't wanna stand up here today.

But Mr. G. Asked me...

...if I was afraid it

would be a Pyrrhic victory.

And I asked him,

"What's up with that?"

He said to go look it up, so I did.

This is called a city.

Human beings used to live here.

It refers to this guy named Pyrrhus.

He was a king around 300 B.C.

Pyrrhus defeated the Romans...

... on two separate occasions.

But those victories cost him

a large part of his army.

So now...

...whenever somebody says...

...that something

is a Pyrrhic victory...

...they mean it's a victory

gained at too great a cost.
