Clara: What happened just now, Mark?  You werne't very kind when you were talking with Ted.  What do you have against him?

 

Mark: I just don't like him at all.

 

Clara: Why?  Is there something in particular?

 

Mark: Well, he has such a mean streak in him!  I went to his office to ask him for some help, and he simply turned up his nose at me!  I was so angry that I wanted to slap him!  He wasn't like that before he got the job.   Now he's such a snob!

 

Clara: You want my advice?  Let it go.

 

Mark: Of course, logically I know you're right, but somehow I just can't bring myself to forget it.  Even the mention of his name starts me fuming.
