“That sounds interesting.”

“It could work.”

“I could see it working.”

“I would definitely teach that.”

“Good call.”

“But that – well. I don’t know.”

“I’d have to think about that one more.”

“Do you think that maybe you have too many plays? It seems like a lot of plays to me.”

“I’m just saying. From my experience.”

“And I don’t know about that play. You might want to reconsider that one.”

“God, I have taught that a million times. Teaches like a dream.”

“But I’ll just say that does not teach like a dream. That is going to be an issue.”

“Probably.”

“I mean, it was for me.”

“Do you think that maybe you don’t have enough plays? This just doesn’t seem like very many plays.”

“Just trying to be helpful.”

“Have you thought about adding this book?”

“I always teach it.

“I mean, always.”

“Like since forever.”

“Have you thought about cutting this other book? You might want to consider it.”

“It can be a real challenge. Might not be worth it.”

“Maybe you should add more theory.”

“I mean, just a little more theory.”

“Because you don’t have much.”

“But maybe that’s your approach, which is fine.”

“We all have our thing.”

“Hmm. If you teach that, you’ll sort of be overlapping with me.”

“I kind of think of it as my novel.”

“Yep.”

“Just love it.”

“But I have never had any luck teaching that. Just saying.”

“But maybe you will.”

“You never know.”

“You may want to budget more time for that one. Three classes is not a lot.”

“Not nearly enough.”

“But you may want to budget less time for that. I always get through it faster.”

“I mean, that’s just how it has gone for me.”

“Have you thought about adding this other book?”

“Are you sure you don’t have too much theory? I mean, you want to focus on your literary texts.”

“Right?”

“I think of that book as kind of my turf, too. I mean, just kidding. But also kind of not.”

“And I don’t know about that one.”

“Have you thought about adding this one other book, along with the other book I mentioned?”

“I’m surprised you’re not teaching this book that I really like.”

“I’m surprised you’re not teaching this other book that I really like.”

“I’m surprised you’re teaching this book that I really don’t like.”

“And this one, too.”

“It wouldn’t be my choice. But.”

“Well.”

“This reminds me of a class I taught years ago. I’ll tell you how I approached it.”

“I have all sorts of thoughts about it.”

“Oh, you’re teaching that?”

“And that?”

“But not that?”

“Interesting.”
