Andrew
Embarrass them?
Dr. Frobisher
Being ESL students, they miss the play on words, so the songs just seem...
Andrew
Embarrassing
Dr. Frobisher
Pearls before swine.
Andrew
I don't think of our students as swine.
Dr. Frobisher
But English isn't their native language.
Andrew
sings
And an oink oink here, and an oink oink there.
Frobisher
I'm glad you're showing a sense of humor, because I felt bad about having to cut out your song.
Andrew
But I was also doing it for my colleagues...for whom English is the first language. And word play may not be lost.
Dr. Frobisher
And they love your songs. But even so, tomorrow there will be a limited amount of time, and they'll be preoccupied with other matters.
Andrew
All right! Fine.
Millie
enters
Hello, Frobisher!
Dr. Frobisher
Ah, Millie, the better half. I don't mean that of course. But I do think you're a very lucky man, Andrew, and I'm grateful that Millie's not retiring with you.
Millie
Oh, I'd die of boredom if I had to retire.
Frobisher
Even though it would give you and Andrew more...quality time together.
Millie
Exactly.
Frobisher
Well, I should be going, but I'll see you tomorrow. For the festivities!
Andrew
Yes. The festivities.
