It doesn't get you anywhere, does it? All those people going on about the squeaky wheel are right. My counsellor at the school taught me that and I've never forgotten. [For oh so very many reasons.
She pulls a face at what Jem says next, though.]
Would you believe we don't have any? All these gifts around and about, and most gifted just end up in top-level positions in governments or corporations or wildly rich and famous celebrities - not a single superhero or villain. That's all in comics and films. We seem dreadfully boring now that I've come here and found out there are real masked vigilantes running about in spandex to keep Cuddle City safe.
