Polar Opposites, Tuesday
"I am told that the end of your semester is fast approaching, which means most of you no longer care about this class so long as you pass and can be free to spend the summer in a lazy haze of inactivity," Morrigan began briskly. "Unfortunately, you are enrolled here, where classes continue, and you are with us, whom feel that learning does not cease with a change in seasons."
Translation: Yes, it's nice out. Suck it up. If Morrigan has to be here, so do you.
Oh, Morrigan. "You have no joy in your heart at all, do you?" Alistair asked. The point, Alistair. You're missing it. "Anyway," he said, "Next week, we'll be asking you to get up and defend something you're very passionate about. And because that's a big task--" Don't talk down to the class, Alistair, "--we thought we'd get you some more... material... to learn from."
"Which is to say that Alistair figured out the dee-vee-dee player, and wants to use it," Morrigan supplied helpfully. "So be it."
"I will have you know that the dee-vee-dee is a very effective teaching tool," said Alistair, who had read that in a book somewhere. "We found you a film about debating, and all the issues that are involved with it. You know, professionally. Not amateurishly, as Morrigan likes it." He held up the disc. He probably didn't need to put as much ceremony into inserting it into the DVD player, but he was just imitating what he'd seen in the little booklet with the pictures.
