Frank
It's over, Millie.
Andrew
enters the main door
Millie
walks past him through the main door
I need to use the restroom, too.
Andrew
Are you waiting for Millie?
Frank
No, I was waiting for you. Because I want you to know the truth about Taplow.
Andrew
Oh, Taplow. The little fraud.
Frank
Maybe not such a fraud. It's true that he was imitating you today.
Andrew
Was it a good imitation?
Frank
No
Andrew
I'll bet it was. Boys can be very clever mimics.
Frank
But he was doing it mostly because I was egging him on. I'm sorry.
Andrew
That's quite all right.
Frank
But we also talked about you, and he told me that he really liked you.
Andrew
Oh, is that right.
Frank
He said that you didn't seem to want to be liked, but he liked you very much. So I'd say that that what he did on YouTube
Andrew
Oh, God! YouTube. What a lot of fuss over a half-assed attempt at online flattery. And who knows? Maybe it was really mimicry. And now anyone who sees it will know what I'm sure he's alerting them to now. That he went online to make a world wide fool of a me. I can hear him now: "I go on YouTube. Make Crocker-Harris give me passing grade. He fall for it." Isn't it funny? After all these years I can't really mimic the way they speak English. But I think I get the content right. "He make you sing with him."
