Miles visits Vera in her office to ask her for advice about Agnes’s infidelity. Despite her disdain for Miles for not proposing to Agnes, she clarifies that Chuck is a “dork” (53) and is merely playing Dungeons and Dragons with Agnes. Relieved, Miles asks Vera why Agnes would play the game, and she instructs him to ask her himself.
During their conversation, the student Steve enters for some academic counseling, and both Vera and Miles act improperly around him. Miles tells him that nothing he does in high school matters and that the problem of Agnes sleeping with a student is more important. Despite scolding Miles for discussing an inappropriate topic with a student, Vera then asks Steve if he finds Miss Evans (Agnes) attractive, attempting to indicate to Miles that he is a bad boyfriend. She then repeats Miles’s remark that nothing he does in high school matters. As Miles and Vera exchange insults with each other, Steve tells them they “both suck” (53) and leaves the office.
