Barbara Quote #109
Barbara: I will keep a close eye on them, and if any of the students express any concern, I will be sure to let you know.
Miss Janet: And how are you holding up, Mrs. Howard?
Barbara: Me? [chuckles] Oh, I'm just fine. I lit a candle, then I received a phone call, and because I am a courteous person, I answered it. And... You know, this is just much ado about nothing. I'm fine. [Janet writes in her book] Are you writing I'm fine?
Miss Janet: I'm just taking some notes.
Barbara: Well, that's a lot of writing for "I'm fine." Um, "She's fine"... It's just two words, and one of them is a contraction. [Janet stands up] You know, when those vents get going, it is like a hurricane. So if there is anyone to blame, it would be the wind.
Miss Janet: Okay, I'll be going...
Barbara: And I just want you to have the specifics. Because I know that you are on a fact-finding mission.
Miss Janet: I'm just a counselor, not an investigator.
Barbara: Yes, but it seems like you are an investigator of feelings. And I want you to know that I am feeling just fine. Facts.

Jacob: Oh, been there. Sort of.
