Parker and the city in the sea

Briggs lines

PARKER: What about your sister? how is she doing?

I think we- the administ\ration and I have done everything we can for you and your brother. But you’re cutting class, you’re disrespecting teachers, you’re dissapearing altogether. Were concerned about you

COLLEEN: At least someone is

Is your dad still abroad?

COLLEEN: No, hes hidiing in the basement

A simple yes or no would suffice. Look, you’ve gone from a straight A student to barely passing- and you’re smart

COLLEEN: thank you

But I am quickly running out of options for you young lady. And sending you back to Mrs. Henson doesn’t seem like it would do either of you any good.

COLLEEN: Mrs. Henson is an idiot

Mrs Henson is a qualified educational therapist

PARKER: she would never hurt me

Okay. I will tell mrs Henson to lay off

HENSON: are you sure?

Deal. But you need to do something for me colleen. You need to figure out what you want out of… this. out of school. out of life

HENSON: you know you can tell me anything Parker

And once you do, I promise I will help you figure out how to get it

HENSON: because if you don’t

Because if you don’t—- B&H I won’t be able to help you at all

COLLEEN: Capiche

Remember colleen. at some point its out of my control, don’t let it get to that point

JESSIE: Thank you Mrs Henson

Calm down Henson!

TENNYSON: is that really necessary?

If she is lashing out at other students… it is

ANKER: do you know why I am here?

I will not have you disrupting my school more than its already been disrupted, is that clear miss Anker?

HENSON: would you-

These students, the twins, have been traumatized enough over the last year

HENSON: can I offer you-

There is still no evidence of any wrongdoing on behalf of Colleen, and I won’t abide anyone jumping to conclusions about her level of responsibility until you’ve thoroughly investigated the matter. And I expect to be consulted before any decisions are final.

ANKER: that’s not how we operate Principle Briggs

Wel;l that’s how you’re going to operate today Miss Anker, or else my cousin in the mayors office is going to be getting a call from me. Do I make myself clear?

HENSON: can I interest you in a-

Henson hurry up

PARKER: the yellow switch

Miss Anker has rejected the complaint colleen- although she did suggest you two get some additional counsiling- and not with Mrs. Henson

HENSON: we've spoken with Patrick and Grace and found out what really happened between you and Jessie, Colleen, im… sorry if we- if I jumped to conclusions

After several attempts, we were finally able to get in touch with your father. hell be heading back to the states within the week. He had no idea any of this was going on. Did you know he had been examining sea slugs in Madagascar?
