ANA: Ms. Beasley, please take a seat. Can I get you anything?

CLAUDIA: No, thank you. I won't take much of your time.

ANA: Alright.

CLAUDIA: I heard about the talk you plan to give at the symposium. I read the abstract, and I have a bone to pick with you.

ANA: Oh?

CLAUDIA: Your alarmist presentation is going to put me and my colleagues at risk.

ANA: Excuse me! I will not condone the trafficking of any...

CLAUDIA: I'm not talking about traffickers...they're the bane of my existence. I'm a sex worker, and the laws you think are going to protect children are only going to hurt us.

ANA: I'm sorry. I don't understand.

CLAUDIA: Look, you can't treat every transaction of sex for money as a potential trafficking situation.

ANA: Why shouldn't I? Who's to tell if an adult prostitute was trafficked
