Louisa: So what d’you think?

Jack: Huh?

Louisa: The Gazette? You’ve been reading it for ten minutes!

Jack: Oh, I’m trying to do the crossword in my head. It’s tricky, cos I keep forgetting which lines I’ve already solved.

Louisa: Haven’t you read my articles? I’ve been waiting for your response.

Jack: Oh, did you write the one about nappies?

Louisa: That was an advert

Jack: How about the mouthwash one?

Louisa: Also an advert

Jack: Oh, I did think the headline was a bit harsh: ‘Only a total loser would let their teeth decay’

Louisa: Yep, the School Gazette is brought to you by...corporate brainwashing

Jack: Well, I guess they couldn’t pay the bills otherwise. Besides, only a total loser would let themselves be influenced by it.
