Bus XXXVIII

Scott: What’s your leaving present for Mr Snick?

Louisa: Nothing. I hate Mr Snick.

Scott: You hate Mr Snick? How? He’s a legend. He wears a fez!

Louisa: His hands always smell of chalk...and he doesn’t even have a chalkboard, so that must be the actual natural smell of his hands

Scott: Fez trumps all

Louisa: Look, I'm starting to worry about Jack. He's so cut up over Lizzie. It isn't healthy.

Scott: Yeah, whatever. If I start wearing a fez after Mr Snick’s gone, will it look like I’m ripping him off?

Louisa: Yes...unless you can make people stop associating it with him and start associating it with you
