"Why do you think Karen did that?"
"Well, I think she's just a nice person, and maybe she likes me or feels some sympathy for me."
"Why don't you try letting a few pounds of air out of those tits and see how much you appeal to her?"
"Why are you saying such hateful things? Why are you trying to make it look like some depraved, sick thing just because she took up for me when that math teacher got me so confused? I can't understand anything that teacher is talking about. The woman has wasted the last three class periods trying to establish proof that you cannot divide a number by zero. I am willing to stipulate the zero thing. She's off on some tangent that's taking us around the world to get next door."
"That's exactly what I'm talking about. You're so naive. The schools don't care if a teacher is able to teach. The school craves the prestige of having teachers who are able to get things published in obscure journals that they imagine administrators at other schools read and drool over with envy."
"Wow, you really get worked up over the subject."
"It was just such a rude shock when I first realized how the system works. I don't want you to go through that."
"You can't do it for me. I've got to take my own lumps. I have to learn for myself, just like you did and everyone else who has ever lived."
"So with Karen, you are going to have to learn for yourself that she's just a scheming, predatory female who will befriend you only as long as there's a chance she can get in your panties?"
"And I have to take your word for that? I'm supposed to reject the one person who has shown me any kindness since I came here because you suspect that she has ulterior motives? Do you have any way to demonstrate to me that she is not trustworthy?"
"No, no actual proof. You just have to be around a while and listen to the stories about her past relationships and learn how she's treated others. Some things can learned without having to first experience it."
"So by the simple expedient of a minor breast reduction surgery I can find out if her feeling for me is genuine friendship or merely a subterfuge for some deep, dark sexual deviation?"
"Oh, God, Laura, you are dismissing something serious by making it trivial."
"Breast reduction surgery is no more trivial than quote,letting a few pounds of air out of your tits? If every act of kindness is a cloak for deviant sexual desires, what is your motivation for trying to help me? Do you secretly want to suck on my nipples, too?"
