Richard and this girl...
He's smart and he sees potential in her.
After his misfired joke, things got uncomfortable.
To credit Richard's intelligence and good judge of character, I can't allow this girl to simply accept things being uncomfortable in the laboratory. After a short while, she'd come to terms with the joke, see it as amusing to the point of being cute and she'd make an effort to re-break the ice.
If she accepted things being uncomfortable and she became a stereotype conflict, then she'd be an average character and Richard would lose credit on his intelligence.
But she's the kind of person to contribute...
To make things better.
"Richard." She says to him one afternoon.
"Yes?" He responds with genuine interest. Her contributions are always welcome.
"Can I ask you something?" She says. "It's personal. But I need you to answer honestly."
"Sure."
"Is there a ring of dust around your anus?"
His smile was immaculate. "Why, yes. Yes there is."
