Periods don’t always go inside quotation marks. It depends whether (not “whether or not”) the content inside the quotes is a full sentence said by someone that is being reiterated. In the context that Sue used them, I believe her construct with the period outside is correct. I do have doubts about the propriety of Think’s dash in his final sentence. Discuss. haha
