Jack: Hey, what's going on with the Gazette these days? I opened a copy earlier and it literally crumbled to dust in my hands.
Louisa: Told you there's a paper shortage. We've had to start using this low-grade paper substitute.
Jack: I bet people who buy the Brooks Academy Crier don't have to deal with this shit
Louisa: It's Tania's fault. For months now she's been refusing to print the pages double-sided cos she likes to laminate them on her wall at home and she doesn't want any bleed-through, so we used up our whole year's paper budget in six months.
Jack: Couldn't she have just done the single-sided thing on her own personal copy, and printed all the rest normally?
Louisa: I don't think she knows how to change the printer settings back and forth like that. She's useless. When I become editor, I'm gonna do things totally differently.
Jack: Maybe printing isn't her forte, but she must've been given the job for a reason
Louisa: Yeah, cos Mrs Jamboree is her aunt
Jack: Don't you get tired of being so cynical?
Louisa: Since when does pointing out other people's cynicism make me cynical? Tania must be the worst editor the Gazette's ever had.
Jack: Wasn't the previous editor a duck?
Louisa: That was just ceremonial. And besides, he quacked approval to some very courageous articles.
