CHARLOTTE (ctd) - E9
She minimizes/relativates Mavericks bravado 'Are you a good pilot?…You'll have difficulty making a living as a singer…'. Also E9: 'That seems to be very COMFORTABLE with me…', 'Its a LITTLE too agressive'. She looks to the ground when she feels ashamed; very typical for E9's. She misses a career opportunity because of her lack of performance orientation/energy/willpower: she could have used Mavericks MIG sighting for her own advantage (that's why many E9's end up in low level jobs in today's performance based companies.) Also E9 'That's gonna be COMPLICATED…'; she's stuck and leaves the decision to Maverick: he leaves her house: a kind of passive agression. (By the way: E9's often have a moralistic tinge too; but related to social do's and don'ts.
