Marcus thanks Katie-the-superlatively-super :). He promises not to be embarrased.
He is nonetheless relieved that Katie did not capture that particular moment on film.

EDIT: Katie may be little in body, but her soul shines like the kindest light :p.

Marcus is, of course, a foetus, compared to Evan :p.
Yup! :p But Evan doesn't have many issues with intelligent people unless they're narcissistic(which 90% of the Selective school students are) so he doesn't have an issue with Marcus as he is not intellectually vain. Evan also states that he is very mature and responsible in ways most people aren't (not that it shows) so this helps him deal with any esteem issues (not to mention Evan isn't exactly stupid)

Marcus believes that Evan is both intelligent and understanding. Marcus does believe the old addage that "there is always someone better out there"; that there will always be someone who is smarter, or faster, or more powerful. But Marcus believes that this idea should enable us to respect the simple fact that we are.


EDIT: PS: this is not intended to be an existentialist rant, :p.

*claps* Marcus should be a life coach :uhhuh:
But seriously Evan does agree with you on most points but he states that the adage "there is always.......out there" is not really true and is just a way a shutting up a dissatisfied person. You can strive to attain self and skill beyond comparison with others without limit or you might not for we are a potentiallity
Or to put it more bluntly feel free to step out of your life and into your possibility

Marcus does not think that we should be "complacent". He believes strongly in developing the personality through the nourishment of learning and experience. Marcus agrees with Evan that every individual is a potentiality. But Marcus also believes that beneath potentiality rests the fact of beingness by which all things are unified. Every personality is thus as significant as any other, because every personality is an expression of the one thing. Plotinus said: "I believe that there is something of the divine mystery in everything that exists...in truth, at very rare moments, we can experience that we ourselves are the divine mystery."

Evan would like to state that it is pretty difficult to argue with someone when you agree with them.
He also thinks this philosophical talk is scaring Katie away

Marcus sometimes finds (much to his amusement) that he us arguing with someone who believes exactly the same thing as him, but expresses it differently. Marcus hopes that Katie has not been scared away!

All of Lynn's frustration at high-quality, turned-under, topstitched seams which are sent in for alterations by someone who has an inability to select clothes in the right size instantly vanish at the wisdom of Marcus' words.

Marcus greets Lynn! He wonders how difficult this alteration must be!

Wow. Lots of words that Justin doesn't know the meaning of.
Bad Justin! Go read some scholarly thesis to improve your language
Evan also cries at Lynn giving him no wisdom points and says that "step out of your life and into your possibilities" has such a wonderful ring to it

Don't start, please, Evan.

Justin has decided that he is too tired and irrational to be bothered with IPR any more tonight and is going to bed.

Lynn apologises for being cranky and not given Evan wisdom points, but as she is sure Marcus has already guessed, these particular alterations are.... difficult (enter a rare moment where Lynn wants to swear her head off in frustration), and no-one in her household is feeling sympathetic in the least. She's obviously not going to finish this top tonight - even though under a heck of a lot of pressure to - so she decided to continue unpicking and come online so that today is not entirely an...interesting... day.

It should be obvious that if I'm tired and irrational, it's not the best time to joke like that with me, OK?

Anyways, I'm going to bed and not looking forward to waking up at 4:30.

Later.

Marcus thinks that Lynn's euphemisms are...interesting...to say the least :p. He would, however, like to express his sympathy. He hopes Lynn finds solace in I-PR.
