0388– 2167/07/07/11:41- LC’s apartment, living room
LC: You don’t think I can pass this class?
Zoa: Technically, you’re only auditing it, so even if you participate in all the classes and complete all the assignments and get hundreds on all the tests, you won’t have actually earned course credit.
Zoa: Also, based on what I’ve seen so far… it’s unlikely, yeah.
Zoa: Not impossible, but unlikely.
----------------------
Doc: More importantly, continuing the course only delays the inevitable. To be perfectly frank, you’re clearly afraid of change, and you’re clinging to the lesser change to avoid the greater one.
LC: You’re saying I’m a coward?
Doc: I’m saying that if someone who wasn’t afraid of change was making your choices for you, this is not the choice that they would make, and I think you know that.
----------------------
LC: Okay, I’m choosing not to get confrontational about that.
Doc: Good.
LC: What I am going to do is to declare, definitively, that I am not dropping Mezzer Twofeather’s class until I absolutely have to, and you two are both going to have to live with that decision, which has been made.
Doc: Less good, but I understand and will comply.
Zoa: Same.
----------------------
LC: Also, I’m tying the two of you together. Doc, I’m only going to be following your mental health instructions if Zoa approves of them. Zoa, you’re only getting paid when Doc thinks you’ve earned it. Play nice with each other.
Doc: What?!?
Zoa: Out of curiosity, Doc, how much tranquilizer are you authorized to prescribe?
