  Bailey Salinger : Is this about Hampshire State? About my acceptance?

  Mr. Rosenthal : Yeah. And I have to tell you Bailey

  Bailey Salinger : Oh, God. Did they change their minds? Did they find out about the C-minus in Physics? Because I can explain that.

  Mr. Rosenthal : No. It's not about your Physics grade.

  Bailey Salinger : Then, the C in Creative Writing because I got really hung up on haikus.

  Mr. Rosenthal : No, no. Just listen.

  Bailey Salinger : It was the B-minus

  Mr. Rosenthal : Bailey! A man named Garrett Williams came by to see me last week. He wants to set up funds for grant seniors. To make a long story short, he looked through the files of all our seniors already accepted into college, and he picked you.

  Bailey Salinger : Picked me for what?

  Mr. Rosenthal : A college scholarship. Ten thousand dollars a year. For all four years.

  Bailey Salinger : Oh, my God. That means... That means that... That I can go to college. That I can actually pay for it.

  Mr. Rosenthal : Congratulations, Bailey. You are our first ever Garrett Williams scholar.

  Bailey Salinger : Wow. I, uh... I never really thought of myself as a scholar.

  Mr. Rosenthal : Frankly, Bailey, neither did I.
