Andrew
Oh, hi, Frank. I didn't see you.
Millie
I was telling him that we didn't see him at the Asian Coalition dinner either.
Frank
I'm terribly sorry.
Millie
He forgot, Andrew!
Andrew
It's all right. Another man was able to use your ticket. A man I think Millie found quite charming.
Millie
Very
Andrew
If old. Retirement age. Like me.
Frank
Well, that's why I came by. One of the reasons. I know that this is your swan song
Andrea
in one high note
La!
Frank
I wanted to give you my best wishes before the mass gathering tomorrow.
Andrew
I appreciate that. I'm sorry that I have an appointment. A student is coming by, and I'm going to have to have back my part of the office.
Frank
Yes, I met him. Before he went down to get the copies.
Andrew
Yes, Millie sent him down. I had wondered where they were. But I made these copies of the song I'm going to lead the faculty in singing tomorrow. Would you like an advance copy?
Millie
Oh, Andrew! You have no shame, pushing the doggerel you write to stolen melodies.
Frank
No, not at all! I always enjoy the songs you write. They're a lot of fun.
Andrew
Thank you, Frank. This one is to the tune of Beethoven's Ode To Joy.
Millie
Aren't they all?
Andrew
