The context of the following conversation is Jordan quickly stopped. They were asked nicely and meant no offense.:
Jordan says I was mortified!.
The friend responds I can imagine!  Being singled out by the Dean like that!  Horrifying!.
Jordan responds It was my favourite set of earrings too!.
The friend responds Hey, I would have done the same thing..
Jordan responds When you drop a set of diamond earrings, you are entitled to crawl around looking for them! No matter where you are!.
The friend responds Well, you meant no offense, and you stopped when the police came to the table. And only one of the trustees actually screamed.  So it could be worse.  I just don't know if the YouTube footage will be flattering..
