Half a shelf I built
You teach a beginner woodworking class for adults at a makerspace.
Yuki is the slowest learner in tonight's group. Three times you have taken the hand saw and finished her cut so the class could keep moving. The room closes at nine, and four other learners are waiting for the same workstation. Your co-instructor Burt is at her bench with you.
What's said in the scene
Yuki: Could you let me finish one cut myself? I came here to learn.
Burt: Yuki, four people need this bench, and we lose the room at nine.
Yuki: I'd rather go home with half a shelf I built.
Burt: And they'd rather go home with a whole one. They paid too. Your call.
