Let’s get this straight, Evildeb does not trust you. You are up to something, and she knows it. You are going to mess with her, or with someone she cares about. She is keeping her Eye on you.
Evildeb: How long have you and William been communicating?
Evildeb: With each other, I mean.
Jodi: Since about May, I guess. Why?
Evildeb: June, July, August, September, October, November, December, January… that’s a long time.
Jodi: yeah…
Evildeb: As such, I am willing to give him the Benefit of the Doubt now.
Jodi: I see.. so suddenly. What brought this on?
Evildeb: I’ve been mulling. Plus, Paco* no longer has The Benefit of the Doubt.
Jodi: I know. Is this why you are able to give it to Wil?
Evildeb: Maybe.
Jodi: Wow, it’s his lucky day.
Evildeb: Yes. It is.
*Evildeb does not like electricity. She’s been shocked several times in life. [by base guitars, camper doors, and other conduits] Recently, Paco violated her trust by playing a practical joke on her… with a shocking pen. Click the little button on top, you get a little shock. If only it had been something less sparky. Deb has been forced to remove The Benefit of the Doubt from Paco. From now one, she’ll not readily accept anything he hands to her. Also, she is no longer talking to him. And by that I mean, she informs him regularly that she is not talking to him, until he asks her a question. [She is unable to not respond.] Also, she kicked him.
That kick hurt more than that shock! I deserved it, though. So, what are you up to that she was so perceptive in pointing out?
I think anyone that would pick Picard over Yoda should be kicked. Kicked right in his own personal “prime directive.”
Note to self “Never piss EvilDeb off or shock her”. Ok, got it.
Erm, I have EvilDeb’s benefit of the doubt, uh, right?
I trust Evil Deb’s benifit of the doubt. She’s a sharp lady!
I prefer to be watched, actually. Keeps me honest.
