Angela: Ugh! I hate talking to Rebecca. Every time I ask her a question, she Ignores me or Sneers at me.

Ronny: Are you sure it’s not your Imagination? She’s Perfectly nice to me.

Angela: It’s not my imagination. When I try to tell her something, she Cuts me off. When I try to explain something to her, she’s Short with me or Talks over me. I always get the feeling that she’s Looking down her nose at me.

Ronny: Maybe she feels Threatened by you.

Angela: How so?

Ronny: You’re younger, smarter, and better educated. She might feel like you’re After her job.

Angela: But I’m not! I just started here and I don’t Have any designs on replacing her.

Ronny: And you’re prettier than she is.

Angela: What does that have to do with anything, even if it were true?

Ronny: Well, she’s Had a thing for me for a while and…

Angela: And she thinks I’m her competition. No wonder she’s so Standoffish with me. I’ll just make it clear that I won’t Stand in her way.

Ronny: You won’t?

Angela: Huh?

Ronny: Never mind.
