Louisa: I just got a job
Scott: Really?
Louisa: Well, not a real job...but I’m gonna be writing some articles for the School Gazette. Miss Daniels recommended me.
Jack: Waste of time
Louisa: At least I can put it on my CV. Employers care about that stuff.
Jack: So what? Shouldn’t school be about something more than just training people for work? When did everyone become so obsessed with jobs?
Louisa: Round about the time there weren’t any left. You should think about doing some extra-curricular activities yourself.
Jack: Why would I bother?
Louisa: Helps you stand out from the crowd
Jack: I never consented to be part of any crowd
Louisa: Nobody consents to be born. Doesn’t change the way things are.
Jack: I like to think I can withhold consent to my birth, in principle, by not consenting to anyone else’s
Louisa: Thank God you aren’t writing for the Gazette. Half the school would be on anti-depressants.
