The teachers are in the lounge. Lauren, Marilyn and Marla are sitting on
the couch. Harry walks in.
Lauren: Hey, Harry.
Harry: Hey. (Pours a cup of coffee, and sits down on the couch)
Lauren: Did Steven come to you yet?
Harry: No, why?
Lauren: Oh well, Amanda Nelson was suspended this morning, I thought..
Harry: Suspended? Why?
Lauren: I told him about the fight.
Harry: You told?!
Lauren: Well they did get in a fight on school grounds.
Harry: Why would you tell?!
Lauren: I...
Harry: (Angry) Lauren you don't always have to follow the book!
Marilyn: Harry she's just doing what's right.
Marla: Just because you don't follow the rules, doesn't mean that the others don't have to either.
Harry: Funny, how are your pills going?
Marla: You...
Marilyn: Harry..
Steven walks into the room.
Steven: What's going on in here?
Marla: Ask him. (Points to Harry)
Steven: I have to talk to you, my office.
Steven and Harry walk out.
Marilyn: (Looks at Lauren) are you alright?
Lauren: I'm fine.
Marilyn: You're sure?
Lauren: Ya. (Walks out of the room)
Marla: She still loves Harry...
Marilyn: But Harry doesn't love her anymore.
Harry walks into Steven's office and sees Joyce sitting in the room.
Steven: Joyce, you know why I called you in here today right?
Joyce: No.
Steven: Did you get into a fight in Mr.Senate's classroom two days ago?
Joyce: Umm..
Harry: Steven she..
Steven: (Looks at Harry)
Harry: I talked to her about it already.
Steven: Is this true?
Joyce: Mr.Senate did talk to me about it.
Steven: Why did you and Amanda have a fight?
Joyce: It's personal.
Steven: See, when a fight breaks out on school grounds, consequences are going to happen. I'm going to have to suspend you.
Joyce: ...
Harry: Umm.Steven..
Steven: What is it Harry?
Harry: Joyce go outside for a sec.
Joyce looks at Steven, he gives her a nod, and she waits outside in the hall.
Steven: Harry what is it?
Harry: You can't suspend her.
Steven: She got in a fight. I have to. Plus I suspended the other girl; I'm going to have to suspend her.
Harry: But she didn't start the fight.
Steven: She was still in a fight.
Harry: Steven once you suspend her, she's not going to come back.
Steven: Harry..
Harry: She's an at risk kid. I've had a hard time getting her to come today.
Steven: You say all of your students are at risks. What I can't suspend any of your at risks kids?
Harry: Steven please, give her a week of detention or something.
Steven: How do I know if she'll go?
Harry: I'll make sure she goes.
Steven: (Sighs)
Harry: Please..
Steven: Fine, a week of detention.
Harry: Thanks. (Walks out)
Joyce: Am I suspended?
Harry: No, a week of detention.
Joyce: Detention? Isn't suspension better?
Harry: No. Detention, you better go.
Joyce: Where?
Harry: The detention room.
Joyce: Funny Mr.Senate, there's no detention room.
Harry: Don't tell me you don't know where to go.
Joyce: I've never had a detention before..well except with you.
Harry: You go to Guber's office.
Joyce: Ok.
Harry: Make sure you go.
Joyce: Ok. (Walks off)
Lauren: Hey, Harry.
