- Very casual, huh?

- Yeah, right.

How often do you visit during a term?

- Never.

- Oh, that's casual...

Holy sh*t!

Stop, Oliver. No kidding, stop the car.

I didn't think it would be like this,

- Like what?

- I mean, like this rich.

- This is too much for me.

- Don't worry. It'll be a breeze.

Yeah, but why do I wish my name

were Abigail Adams or Wendy Wasp?

Don't be scared.

- Aren't you?

- No.

- So far, so good.

- That's not saying much.

- Your hand is cold.

- So is yours.

- Let's get away from here.

- Master Oliver! Hello!

Hello, Florence. This is Jenny.

"Master"? I always knew

you had slaves.

Let me take your wrap.

Your parents are in the drawing room.

Thank you, Florence.

Half the buildings of Harvard

are hanging there.

Oh, it's nothing.

You're related to

the Sewall Boat House?

Yes, I come from a long line

of wood and stone.

Hello there.

- I'd like you to meet Jennifer Calaveri.

- Cavilleri.

- As in "Cavalleria Rusticana"?

- Right. No relation.

- Hello, Mum.

- Hello, darling.

Nice to meet you.

How are you, son?

Fine, sir, fine.

Please sit down

and make yourself at home.

We'll have to go soon.

Why are you so uncomfortable

with your parents?

- Why did you want to leave at once?

- I didn't like how they treated you.

"What is it your parents are in?"

- What is it your people are in?

- My father bakes cookies.

- What's the name of the firm?

- Phil's Bake Shop.

- Of Cranston, Rhode Island.

- How interesting...

- So your people are from Cranston?

- Mostly. My mother is from Fall River.

- The Barretts have mills in Fall River.

- Where they exploited the poor.

In the 19th century.

When you inherit,

you can give all our money back.

That's what the philosopher

Saint-Simon advocated.

In the 18th century.

- It's late.

- Aren't you staying for dinner?

- Yes.

- No. I have to get back.

You're staying for dinner

and that's an order.

Everything is an order,

a directive, a command.

Where is your sense of humour?

In school, he used to send me memos.

Memos! Don't you find that odd?

I find it rather cute.

Have you heard from Law School?

- Not yet.

- He'll get in. Who's better than Oliver?

I agree. He'll graduate with honours.

He's always done well in school.

At Exeter, he was...

It doesn't mean a thing.

I'm just one of many trying to get in.

- I could give Price Zimmermann a ring.

- No! I mean, please don't, sir.

Just to find out if he knows.

I want to get my letter

with everyone else. Please.

- He was only trying to be helpful.
