I still can't believe we're graded on handwriting. What are we, five?

I believe every grade is unfair.

[veryproud]

Every grade would be pushing it a bit.

[badnewsboy]

I'm fairly certain it's every grade.

[veryproud]

Some of that is useful.

[badnewsboy]

Someone gives you a letter or number on what they believe your skillset will be, or rather, is and somehow that is useful to others? Based on various flaws in how others see you there may be a personal biased on the provider of the letter judgment.

[veryproud]

It's a flawed system but I'm afraid I don't have the jurisdiction to change the entirety of it.

Did you not get As?

[badnewsboy]

I got all As, but that doesn't make it any less stupid.

[veryproud]

Congratulations.
Sometimes we have to put up with stupidity.

[badnewsboy]

I don't want to go back to school.

[veryproud]

I never did either but it's a good place to meet people.

[badnewsboy]

What was your high school life like, Mister Coulson?

[veryproud]

I think a good word for it is 'yikes.'

[badnewsboy]

Did you not marry your high school sweetheart?

[veryproud]

She married the quarterback.

And then I arrested them both a couple of years later. Funny how things work out.

[badnewsboy]

That sounds like the detailed plot of a movie. Did you marry her after you arrested her?

[veryproud]

No. She was still married. I couldn't do that.
Besides, I don't think she'd take me back after breaking her arm during the shoot-out. She was really mad about it.

[badnewsboy]

There aren't many parts in Midgard where that's considered romantic.

[veryproud]

Not many at all.
It wasn't meant to be.
