"She has to be expelled." "The girl set fire to the school, endangering all our precious lives." "She walked in there, lighter at the ready, and tried to burn the place down." "Lighter?" "Not now, Jane." "Have respect for court protocol." "What lighter, Harriet?" "Jesus, Charlotte, how daft can you possibly be?" "That ridiculous "I heart LA" lighter of hers."
