Richard Roma, Glengarry Glen Ross

[topoftheboard]

Well. Wasn't this interesting? A real fun fest.

Ricky Roma took stock of the room, no hurry but not missing anything, not if he could help it. Not looking anything beyond self-assured. Hell, he knew what he was about. And you never let your guard down. Especially not with a group like this. What in - What in the hell was this nutjob operation?

"Damned if I know." He spread his arms, shrugged. "I take it you're some sort of professor here; maybe you can tell me? How does one, ah, arrive at a school for Witchcraft and Wizardry? I do not know. I do not know."

Roma ran a hand through his hair, grinning. "Tsk, carrying on. Why, I would think you'd be scandalized to hear it! Shall I tell you about the blond last night or the redhead the night before? Or did you mean sales only? Hell, it all runs together.

"But you think of it only as moving money back and forth, you're missing the point of the game. It's all about playing the game. The process."

The grin has returned; this is almost as entertaining as poking at Moss. Almost. "And what about you? How does a handsome guy like you go about carrying on? I'm sure the ladies positively flock to you, so I guess my question is, do you take them one at a time or all at once? Or do your inclinations tend more along the lines of that-" a gesture toward wherever that one had gone, "that fantastic fruit, Albert, Alba... whatever the hell his name was. That one."

As a matter of fact, this was a sore point. He is not apparently attractive, though he had very nearly... He still blushed. But he is staunchly blasé about other's sex lives. That was the worst he did, whilst 'carrying on?' Severus nearly snorts, remembering the Horcrux-Horcrux-Who's-Got-The-Horcrux fun-filled days of his youth. "Pfft. Games!" Oh. He has snorted.

"As it happens, as Head of the Hospital Wing, it is my duty to instruct the students in Medical and Physical Hygeine, including Sexual Education. But yes, you are correct as I also specialise in Potions and Defence Against the Dark Arts." This is spoken as if it is unquestionable, but Severus actually habitually disguises his correct title of 'School Nurse,' even upon his office door. His virginal status is also thus deftly obscured.

Wait. 'Albert, Alba, Fantastic Fruit...' He can only mean... Severus draws himself up, succeeding in glowering from his full height, his shoulders hunched towards his ears. How he wishes he could hex these absurd and feckless students! "Former Headmaster Dumbledore is Professor Emeritus and held in the highest respect and esteem of all who have witnessed his brilliance, wisdom, discipline and charity. He is the greatest wizard of our age. How dare you belittle him, with your pathetic smalll-minded muggle commerce games? How dare you?"

"Oh! My pardons, I didn't mean to offend. I didn't realize he was your fruit." Roma cocked his head, nodding slowly before continuing. "Yes, hell, I can't believe I didn't figure as much. Must be losing my touch."

And a smirk. Because this guy did not look so much like a fruit as a tight-ass cunt, and Roma was already of the opinion that the last time this son of a bitch had seen any sort of action must've been... Well, never, probably.

Roma would have been willing to bet on that.

And wait, wait, back up, back up. What was that about a Hospital Wing? Okay, no. No, that was too fucking much.

"So you're a nurse, is what you're telling me?" Conveying nothing but the deepest respect, of course.
