Dialog doubt from Runaway Jury

[edit]

Nicholas Easter meets Marlee at shop:

Nicholas Easter: You know what it is? Jury duty. Got a summons in the mail. Just trying to pray my way out of it.

Marlee: Where's your sense of civic duty?

Nicholas Easter: Um, I flunked civics.

Is getting jury duty against the civic duty? Rizosome (talk) 15:47, 1 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No, it's "trying to pray [one's] way out of it" that shows a lack of civic duty. Deor (talk) 16:15, 1 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
