::Gutter is in her locker room, using a makeshift 'speed bag' made from old two-by fours and destroyed footballs.::
Carter: Well at least you take FIGHTING seriously.
::Gutter POUNDS the speed bag, making it burst at the poorly-sewn seams, before turning around::
Gutter: What does that mean?
Carter: Oh, I dunno know, the fact that you haven't even taken your GED books out of the wrapper! I didn't give you them to use as a pillow you know! The pillow is the pillow!
Gutter: I don't give a flying ("truck") about this GED ("split") anyways.
Carter: Now hold on a sec! I'm the one taking care of you, and while I know you've got other big things going on, there's nothing more important than education! You know what they say, "Give a Hoot, Read a Book!". Where are you going to end up without a degree?
Gutter: Well, I did win a championship and about to win another.
Carter: ...Good point. But still! Education is important! And learning is fun!!
Gutter: ...Why?
Carter: It is! Plus, what if you get injured and can't compete anymore, what are you going to do then? You need to start reading that book right now, Missy!
Gutter: Can't read.
Carter: Wait WHAT?! But you've been able to read menus and street signs and stuff!
Gutter: Well, I know a little, but an entire book...
Carter: Oh, you poor thing...
Gutter: DON'T take pity on me, okay?
Carter: Sorry! Look, I'll get you someone to teach you to read, okay?
Gutter: If I have to.
Carter: Good! That's the spirit! And now that THAT's done away with, I wanted to invite you to a Carter family presentation of 'Thanksgiving - Let's get stuffed!" two days from now!'
::No response from Gutter::
Carter: Um, you DO know what Thanksgiving is, right?
Gutter: Um, that's that time when they let the homeless inside to eat some slop, right?
Carter: ...Well, yes, but you're going to have a REAL dinner. And this time I INSIST that you come.
Gutter: *shrugs* Don't got anything better to do... don't get to kick Alicia Gordon's ass in WCCF till the weekend...
Carter: Great! By the way, I was wondering what you'd be thankful for this year... my family makes a big deal about it cause they say that's the point of Thanksgiving see...
Gutter: *Furrows her brow* "Thankful?"
Carter: You know, things or people that you're glad to have in your life?
Gutter: ...Can't think of anything.
Carter: What about anyONE? *Puppy dog eyes*
Gutter: Nope. ::Carter looks to be on the verge of TEARS at this point:: What's your problem?
Carter: Erm... nothing! Nothing... I just got something in my eye is all! I... erm... gotta go... do... stuff....about my eye!
::Carter bolts out of the locker room, leaving Gutter by herself::
Gutter: ...Well at least she's finally left me alone..."
::Gutter goes to shadowboxing now as the scene ends::
Carter: Well at least you take FIGHTING seriously.
