| Angela: Do you see that guy over there? He looks really scary. He is massive and covered in tattoos. Trisha: Actually, I know him. That is Mark. Angela: How do you know him? Trisha: He lives in the same apartment building as me. He looks scary, but he is very kind. He wouldn’t hurt a fly. Angela: Are you sure? Trisha: I’m positive. Believe it or not, he is a kindergarten teacher. Angela: A kindergarten teacher? You must be kidding. Aren’t the kids terrified of him? Trisha: No. I heard that they all love him.
