The Browning Version Screen 28


Andrew

He's reading a thank you note to me to a tune I taught them.  His own words, except for the last two lines.  And he says such kind things.
Frank
That's quite a nice tribute.
Andrew
It's so...so kind.  And who knows.  Maybe he means it!
Frank
I'm sure he does!
Andrew
He went on YouTube to praise me.  To honor me.
Millie
walks in the main door
God, I thought they'd never get it straight!
Andrew
Millie, I just got the nicest tribute from a student.
Millie
Really?  What?  I hope it's money, though that would hardly make up for the forty percent of your pay you won't be getting.
Frank
A student went on YouTube and sang his thanks to Andrew!  It's really nice.
Gets the song to start again
Millie

Oh, the student who was here earlier?
Frank
Yes!
Millie
What a little fraud!
Andrew
Why do you say that, Millie?  Why a fraud?
Millie
Well, I caught him making fun of you.  Doing an imitation of you.  This very afternoon.  I guess he was terrified that I'd tell you, and you wouldn't give him a passing grade  Look at how desperate he is.  He makes up to you on YouTube!
Andrew
I see.  Well, it's been a long day.  I think it's time to get going.
rises
Are you ready, Millie?  Or perhaps Frank would like to give you a ride home if you need to stay.

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...
