Desi: Do I know you from somewhere?
Priscilla: Well, not really. But I'm becoming aware of your reputation. And quite frankly, you fascinate me.
Desi: I have a reputation?
Priscilla: In some very small circles. And most of the people I'm forced to spend time with right now would not go anywhere near you, but I have ---
Desi: I'm not supposed to have a reputation!
Priscilla: But you do. It's not entirely a bad one.
Desi: What kind of reputation are we talking about?
Priscilla: Well, that's part of what I don't understand. You're reputed to be a very... strong person, and that part I get. I understand that completely. What I don't get is why some of the people that I have to deal with on a day-to-day basis are so afraid of you.
Desi: Afraid of me?
Priscilla: Oh, yes! See, I have no reason to be afraid of you. I have no reason to hurt you, and you can't hurt me. So that's why I'm curious. What is it about you that has them so afraid?
Desi: I couldn't say. I don't know anyone who would be afraid of me.  I'm just a high-school student. I'm nobody important.
Priscilla: Oh, I don't think that's the case, because I know some folks way, way up who thought you were important enough to... (she trails off)
Desi: Important enough to what?
