The Browning Version Screen 7

Millie
Yes, a fish out of water, gasping for breath.  "To dream the impossible dream."  Once it didn't seem so impossible.  But that song says it all.  He's still back in the 1960s, but his students aren't.  His students want a teacher like you.

Frank
Or you.  That student had very good things to say about you.  Apparently you were the Crocker-Harris he thought he was signing up for.  

Millie
Why didn't he drop?  I get so many of the students who realize they've gotten the wrong Crocker-Harris.  I add as many as I have room for.

Frank
We know how to please the students, don't we Millie.

Millie
You make that sound like something negative.  
Frank
 They're really pushovers.
Millie
Andrew can't even reach the pushovers.  But let's not waste our time talking about him.
                Frank
If he had an appointment fifteen minutes ago, he'll be here any moment. 
Millie
Okay!  Okay!  Let's keep our distance and just...plot!
laughs
It's going to be more difficult at home with Andrew always around.  We're going to have to go to your place.
Frank
Or we could just meet here.  He won't be here anymore.

Millie
Yes, you seem so relaxed here.  So in the mood.  Why don't you want me to go to your place? 

Frank
It's not...Nice enough for you.
Millie
Hiding bodies?

I don't think this is the kind of community-provided bench the SF Chronicle was talking about today in its article https://www.sfchronic...
