Dee’s Café, South Side. 12:30 a.m.
Drunk Frat Boy has his head in his hands. A girl decked out in St. Patrick’s Day regalia sits next to him, rubbing his back:

Drunk Frat Boy: I don’t cry.
[weeps softly]
Drunk Frat Boy: [intensely] I don’t cry.

Intro to Western Art Music, David Lawrence Hall, Pitt Campus.
A Guest Lecturer is speaking to an auditorium class so the music department can decide whether to hire her:

Guest Lecturer: How many of you have your textbooks?
[No one raises their hand.]
Guest Lecturer: [angry] You guys don’t bring your textbooks to class?! You ruined my whole lecture! At this point I was going to have you read through a poem in your books, but that’s not gonna happen.!
