Bus LIII

Louisa: I can't believe Mr Gogol died

Scott: Who's Mr Gogol?

Louisa: Our headteacher!

Scott: The guy who dresses as a bat?

Louisa: I don't think that's a real person, Scott

Bus LIV

Louisa: Just entered the funeral raffle

Jack: There’s a raffle?

Louisa: Yeah, for tickets. The marching band is gonna play and everything.

Jack: I thought Mr Gogol hated the marching band. Didn’t he try and retract their funding?

Louisa: I doubt funerals were really his scene either, so what’s your problem?

Bus LII

Jack: God, I hate school uniforms. Wish we had Mufti every day.

Louisa: Only yesterday you said how much you hate Mufti Days!

Jack: Yeah, I hate them cos they’re the exception. Feeling comfortable shouldn’t be some special end-of-term treat.

Louisa: I think they’re best as an occasional thing. Uniform helps the poor kids hide.

Jack: You’re right. Out of sight, out of mind. That works for me.

Bus LI

Louisa: Skiver

Jack: You know my policy on Mufti Days. Why should I have to pay a pound for the privilege of wearing my own clothes?

Louisa: Because it goes to charity?

Jack: Forced donations are worse than no donations at all. It’s dirty money.

Louisa: I’m sure the starving orphans share that sentiment

Bus XLIX

Louisa is reading a magazine

Louisa: Wanna come see Fruit with me?

Jack: I've got some at home, thanks

Louisa: They're a girl group, fool. Says here they're touring.

Jack: You know my stance on commercial music

Louisa: How about you, Scott?

Scott: I'm there!

Jack: Thought you only listened to bluegrass?

Scott: I'm branching out

Bus L

Louisa: New phone?

Jack: Yep

Louisa: Text me your number

Jack: Will do. Not yet though.

Louisa: Why’s that?

Jack: I want a few days to enjoy my phone before people start contacting me and ruin it
