RICKY
It
wasn't cute when I pledged in '83. You
know who was on the phone?
PEGGY
I
don't know. Let me guess, Bob head
trustee.
RICKY
Ding,
ding and the trustees’ aren’t happy. They
want your pledge buddies off campus. You
sent my message, right?
PEGGY
In
the morning e-mails. But, that wasn't
easy.

you bypassed Mikey Mike's security.
Right?

I
had to hack in.
RICKY
And
you won’t go back to teaching?

Teach. Not this semester. Typing is slacker work verses fifty freshmen
