I must apologize— I don't believe I caught your name.

[ excuse u teen queen. ]

Of course, Ms. George. How could I forget.

[buuurn]

You must be getting old.

[lecter]

[ Mildly: ] We all are, when it comes down to it. But I get your meaning.

[buuurn]

[Sure. Whatever. She flips her hair behind her shoulder.]

Are you gonna tell me why I'm here?

[lecter]

The school board seemed to think it pertinent, all things considered. Would you agree?

[buuurn]

[Ugh. Fine, time to change her approach, or something.]

I don't know. I didn't do anything wrong, did I?

[lecter]

I've heard multiple stories. Taken as a whole, I will admit it paints a rather impressive picture.

[ Which, ironically, he seems to be saying in a not-entirely-negative sense. ]

[buuurn]

[Someone whined about her again. She's gonna have to fish a bitch out, isn't she.

I mean.]

You say that like it's a good thing.

[Does she sound expectant? Well, she certainly isn't showing any guilt.]

[lecter]

[ Mildly: ] The opinions of my employers do not always perfectly align with my own.

[ He's not getting paid to encourage a real-life The Most Popular Girls in School. Not outright, anyway. ]

Why, how do you consider it?

[buuurn]

Well, [She flips her hair behind her shoulder,] I don't know what you mean when you say it's an impressive picture.

[lecter]

[ Fair enough. ]

I mean that this sort of grasp upon a student body is usually reserved for the principal.

[buuurn]

So the point of this is...?

[lecter]

[ As diplomatically as possible: ] Your method could use a little refining.

[buuurn]

[She was smiling before. Now she's making a pointed effort to keep it.]

Excuse me?

[lecter]

[ Because, clearly, this is the sort of tack he ought to be taking instead of stop terrorizing the high school. ]

You don't enjoy being called in for disciplinary action, do you?

[buuurn]

I wouldn't know, since I've never been called in for disciplinary action.

[lecter]

Then let me rephrase: I imagine you have other things to be doing than sitting here in my office.

[buuurn]

[Pause. Hm.]

Yeah, that's true.
