Bus XCIX

Louisa: How come you never thank the bus driver?

Jack: Huh?

Louisa: When you get off the bus. I've noticed you never say thank you to the bus driver.

Jack: Why would I?

Louisa: Well, it's friendly, is all.

Jack: I wake up, I brush my teeth, I put on clothes. Now I have to be friendly as well?

Louisa: Okay, enough said

Jack: He's the only person on the bus who's getting paid to be here. What more does he want? A hug when he honks his horn? A pat on the back if he makes a really smashing left turn? A round of applause every time he reaches the school without killing us all in a fiery wreckage? This is his job.

Louisa: I know it's his job. That's why I always thank him.
