Rushing By

*Margaret and Patricia look down on the students rushing to class from the sky bridge outside*

Polly: They just keep growing!

*Margaret nods*

Maggie: Yep.

*More students walk by*

Maggie: Did we get more from yesterday?

*Patricia looked closely among the crowd*

Polly: I won’t be surprised.

*More people walking by*

Maggie: You know what that means.

Polly: Yep. Bring on more staff members.

*Both women frown at the glass as more students hurry to their classes*

Maggie: Damn, there goes the neighborhood.

Polly: But we have to in order to stay open. The more students we get, the more staff has to be hired to handle them.

Maggie: And she can’t turn them away?

Polly: Nope.

*Margaret turns to her with an eyebrow raised*

Maggie: Can’t or won’t?

*Patricia shrugs at her*

Polly: Both.

*Margaret turns back to the glass at my students crossing the street to classes*

Maggie: Again, there goes the neighborhood.

*Patricia presses her lips together and nods*

Polly: Pretty much.

*Both women keep watching the street below them at the students still walking by*
