Betty Sue: Katniss, Do you have a minute to talk?

Katniss: Sure, what$$s on your mind?

Betty Sue: Being the AD $[$athletic director$],$ you know that I use the weight room after the football team. Well, my track team has to return the plates to the racks, put the dumbbells back, and so forth. I don$$t get paid to pick up after the football team. After all, they have the use of the room longer than we do$.$ I$$ve complained to Usain $[$the football coach$],$ but all he says is that$$s the way he finds it$,$ or that he$$ll try to get the team to do a better job. But nothing happens.
