“You look far too happy over there to be doing anything nice, Elspeth.”
“I keep telling you guys, I’m never nice.”
“You’re nice to me.”
“You’re delusional, I’m sure I’m never nice to anyone. And this is for my spin class - I’m pure evil when it comes to them, you know.”
“Flaming hoops?”
“I was considering doing like a class with only nineties boy band music? But that is...it’s way passed evil into pure hell and I wouldn’t want to lead that class anyway.”
“Such a delicate balance between evil and hellish. - What did you come up with instead?”
“True, not everyone can do what I do. Instead...I was thinking about hills. Or mountains. Except the gym wants me to provide options to ‘tone it down’. Why the fuck would anyone come to my spin class if they want to relax and enjoy themselves?!”
“Maybe opt out of spin class and advertise it as the Near Death Experience.”
“Don’t laugh Adam, that isn’t nice. And they have just gently reminded me a few times not to make people faint, but seriously, they are making so much money because of me.”
“Oh, we have to be nice to you?”
“Of course you have to - you have the capability to be nice, right?”
“The goal of the class is to… Help people get in shape, right? Not hospitalize them.”
“Some people need more than a few gentle suggestions. I get results. If they don’t like being yelled at they can go back to yoga or some other fucking pseudo workout.”
“May I make a suggestion?”
“It’s a free country.”
“How about moderate to medium evil, instead of opening with pure?”
“Like, opening with moderate evil and progressing to pure evil? I have certain expectations to meet, dad, if they want moderate evil they can go to zumba.”
“It’s worth a shot, isn’t it?”
“Okay, so they can have a small downhill stretch. And if anyone asks why I’m suddenly such a fucking softie, I’ll blame you. Any other ideas?”
“Mm, nope. Fresh out.”
