Theoretically, that's how it works--in the world of the sing-along. But now with everyone in their private world with their earbuds and their iTunes. Frank's selected tunes are not the ones the kids go to on YouTube.
Frank
Well, it still seems like fun to me.
Andrew
Thank you, Frank. You are very kind. As you said earlier, this is my swan song. A swan song sung to a stolen melody. But one that is, in fact, on YouTube.
Frank
And what do you plan to do in retirement?
Andrew
I was thinking of maybe reviving the song book that, as Millie says, I've been milking for some thirty years.
Taplow
enters the main door,
walks past the central desk
drops a Pepsi can into the wastepaper basket
is carrying a pile of copies and looks breathless
knocks
Andrew
Come in. Hello, Taplow, You look out of breath. I'll bet there was a long line to pick up copies.
Taplow
Yes, teacher don't always put lesson online--
Andrew
And I hope you got something to drink from the vending machine.
Taplow
Yes. Thank you. I sorry for late, but--
Millie
You were late yourself, Andrew.
Andrew
Yes, I was. I apologize, Taplow.
Taplow
No problem.
