JAKE:
Yeah. I just came in for the day.
See my grandfather. The family.
EMILY:
Sure. I just... I didn’t hear.
JAKE:
Well, I would have called, but... I
have to get back to Santa Fe.
(off her look)
Long boring story. How have you
been? Mom tells me you’re teaching
at the high school now.
EMILY:
I know. Weird, huh? But it’s
good. Other than teaching the kids
I used to baby-sit. But I love it.

EMILY:
Well... my... fiancé is in banking.
Just the word. Fiancé. Jake does his best to keep it light.
JAKE:
That helps. Do I know him?
EMILY:

Emily laughs. It breaks the ice. All kidding now.
EMILY:

JAKE (CONT’D)

The laughs are over. Jake looks at the ground. Decides.
JAKE:
Can you keep a secret?

STEPHANIE:
Well, here’s to you, Mrs. Robinson.
Dale, do you really think you have
a chance with Miss Spenser or any
girl in her right mind?
Dale looks away, embarrassed, and goes back to sweeping.
