Ted: Is everything okay? You usually take down the messages, even if you forget to give them to me.
Alexis: It's just that my grades are being posted today so I'm just kind of avoiding the computer.
Ted: Oh. Oh, oh, okay. Well, that's not really an option, so how about I'll just look for you.
Alexis: No, it's okay, I can do it. It's just that if I fail I may need the afternoon off.
Ted: Also not an option, but I will be here for you if it's bad news.
