Harry: Hey, what's the matter, Tommy?
Tommy: I have to write a 20-page history paper by tomorrow.
Harry: Oh, that's tough.
Tommy: Oh! Oh! And on top of that, George Capisorros was waiting for me after school to beat me up 'cause I wouldn't let him cheat off my algebra test.
Harry: Whoa. So what did you do, hop the fence and run home?
Tommy: No. I kicked his ass, but, I mean, that's not the point. I shouldn't have to do that.
