I agree - she's not. I think she's just referring back to Winslow's privileged financial position: "Eh, you don't gotta. You could stay home and watch the pigeons all day" coming from her, I hear and interpret as a semi-snarky tone (because poor her has to work). Winslow then misses the point, and May's next comment about place is the poor minority apologizing to the hoity toity for existing. Winslow misses this point somewhat too, though you can tell he's a little annoyed with May who's "I wanna hear" comeback is as loud as she ever laughs internally at someone.

I agree. Perhaps a missed opportunity or just one deferred???

Not automatically no. However, in this particular case you are taking a semi-humorous remark about something I wanted to see as some sort of substantive criticism.

I meant in general, of course. And no, I didn't think you were making a substantive criticism. Just picking up a topic and running with it.

Personally, I like slapping the dust off her hands post-ejection even better. The kid is gone and May hasn't missed a beat in her conversation with Winslow.

I can see May being that snarky to some people, but she opened up to Winslow a lot the last time they met (when he was a substitute robo-counsellor back in #3581). I'd also expect her to emphasize "You" instead of "could" in "You *could* stay home" if she was snarking at him as you suggest. May's had some time to mature while Winslow was gone. She even hugged Roko without looking like she hated the idea... (#4032)
