Monica

I spoke to Vic earlier today.

Molly

Really?

Monica

I’ll cut to the chase, he offered us jobs, behind the cameras, that is.

Molly

Really?

Monica

You don’t sound too surprised.

Molly

I’m not.  He called me earlier.

Monica

You could stay in school, you know.  It’s okay if you change your mind.

Molly

True.  I could.

Monica

So?

Molly

So?

Monica

So are you?

Molly

Am I what?  Going to grovel to the dean so that I can stay in school or am I going to go work for Vic?

Monica

Well, which one is it?

Molly

I should make you beg!

Monica

Molly, I get it, okay?  I know you’ve gone through some kind of change and you’re not the doormat of the year anymore!  You don’t have to make up for it by becoming a…a…

Molly

A big bag of bitch? (They both start to laugh.).  I’m in Monica.  As in, I’m in with you and Vic.  I’m coming aboard!  I must be out of my mind.

Monica

Thank God!  I couldn’t have done it without you!

Molly

Is this because of my knack for mundane, administrative details?

Monica

You know it’s not that!  Don’t make me say it!

Molly

I won’t!

Monica

Molly.

Molly

Yes Monica?

Monica

It’s funny, isn’t it?

Molly

What’s funny?

Monica

The way things don’t always go the way you expect them to.

Molly

Yeah, that is funny.

The sound of tapping at their window.  The sound of “Shave and a Haircut,” but the last two knocks, “Six bits,” don’t happen.

Monica

Knock, knock?

The sound of a projector running.
