Mr.S: Someone left them on your desk! Someone with hand-writing identical to yours left them on my desk? I’m afraid, I can’t accept that answer.
R.: Are you accusing me of cheating?
Mr.S: Yes, I am.
R.: You can’t do that without proof! I’m going to call my counselor!
Mr.S: By all means, do that. In the meantime, however, don’t come to class again. I’m extremely disappointed in your behavior.
