Your solution is to be physically knocked out?

[ He looks a little disbelieving. ]

Well, I guess I have to trust that you know what you're doing.

[ stop judging her.... ]

[ quietly: ]

This is just something that I have to do. I can't..... I have to do it....

[ That really doesn't sound great. ]

... All right. Then tell me about it. How does it work?

... Maybe some other time, okay?

[ seems like she doesn't want to talk about it anymore ]

For now, I'm just going to work on my vouchers.

All right. [ Pokes her cheek. ] You're going to have to do plenty of extra credit then.

[ she relaxes very quickly ]

Yeah, I know... it's such a pain... Some of them are sooooo weird!

Oh yeah? Have you gotten into trouble?

Not like you have! [ naughty claude... ]

But some people give me a hard time, I guess.

Ohh. Someone bullying you? Need me to beat them up?

I'm mostly talking about fussy mother hens.... [ looks directly at claude ] sooo, no need to beat anyone up.
