Miss Stevens Page #2

It's Christopher Durang, right?

I didn't think you knew

who Christopher--

Guys! We're sitting

on the side of the road.

Right.

It was the warning light,

wasn't it?

It wasn't

the warning light, Margot.

Oh, Jesus!

You guys, please.

Guys, please, please.

Come on, stop.

You are driving other people's

children in an unfit automobile.

I'm sorry.

I'm really embarrassed.

Why are you embarrassed?

Because I am the a**hole

who ignores a big, flashing

orange light.

You curse a lot.

- I know.

- When we're at school--

It's just a switch.

Why isn't

the switch on now?

Because we're not at school.

But, like, we are.

Right.

Okay.

We're gonna be so late.

I have to call the hotel.

I'm gonna call the hotel.

Hi. This is Margot Jensen

from Franklin High School.

Is this the front desk?

Where do I...

Where it

says "signature".

Oh.

Make sure you get that

to your service station

as soon as you possibly can.

Drive too long

on the spare...

Right. Okay. Will do.

- Thank you.

- Great. Thank you.

Thank you.

All of your music

is... old.

Oh, I'm sorry.

- I'll change the station.

- No!

I love this song.

How do you know this song?

- My dad--

- Exactly.

This is dad music.

Yeah.

And old lady teacher music.

You are not old.

No, I am old.

You like America?

- Well--

- America?

The band. This band.

America.

It's just called "America"?

- Yep.

- And that's it?

That's it.

I don't know, Margot.

I kinda like what

it's doing to me.

Do you mind if I ask

how old you are?

Sam thinks you're 26,

but I think you're older.

Not 'cause you look older,

you just seem older.

My older sister--

Twenty-nine.

Best part.

Will you meet me

In the middle

Will you meet me

In the air?

Will you love me

Just a little

Just enough

To show you care?

Well, I tried to fake it

I don't mind sayin'

I just can't make it

Well, I keep on

Thinkin' 'bout you

Sister Golden Hair surprise

And I just can't

Live without you

Can't you see it

In my eyes...

I'm gonna go check us in.

- Another glass?

- Oh. Um...

Sure. Thank you.

Another vino for the lady,

coming right up.

So, what was

your favorite part?

Oh, gosh. Um...

We did

The Glass Menagerie.

I loved that play.

And who were you?

I was Tom.

I ended up

playing boys a lot.

Why?

I don't know. I...

I was tall.

I don't really have hips.

- Here you go.

- Thank you.

Pinot noir.

Such a good choice.

Totally.

It is.

So are we

excited to see

who's gonna be there tonight?

- Pretty interesting--

- Oh.

Man. There was this--

There was this one time...

What?

Gosh, I haven't thought

about this in years.

We were doing

Taming of the Shrew.

And I played Petruchio.
