In this short scene, Em'ly complains to her friend, Lockwood, that she hasn't heard from him all week and that he's walking to school "with a ray of all sudden" . He's jealous, she tells him, and he should go and see what's going on with his brother. She tells him to shut up and come back in fifteen minutes, because she just saw her brother "weedly got toward the mie" , and she doesn't know what to think. He tells her that he saw his brother talking to another man with a band on his fingers, and that they both have "aids" on their fingers. He says that he can't snap the neck of Wasp without effort, but that he has a "secret weapon" that he plans to reveal to everyone.
