Q

INTERVIEWER 2: Yeah? What was it?

A

JEFF: I was watching the news and there was this woman in the hospital and she. went into a coma from this weird stroke and…they kept trying and trying to get her out of it…like doctors spent years trying to revive her…but they never figured it out.

Q

INTERVIEWER 2: So this made you..maybe interested in medicine? Or healthcare?

A

JEFF: No, it just made me jealous. This woman, she was like, having these tubes feed her and breathe for her. And they put on the TV all day. I mean you know how like sometimes, breathing is just like. so much work sometimes, ya know.

Q

(INTERVIEWER 2 slouches in his chair.)

A

JEFF: What’s the matter?

19
Q

INTERVIEWER 2: I’m… just… tired.

A

JEFF: Yeah, me too.

20
Q

(Scene 12 begins, INTERVIEWER 1 and BEN are mid-laugh.)

A

BEN: And the entire audience is COMPLETELY drenched!

21
Q

INTERVIEWER 1: Oh man! Wow!

A

BEN: Needless to say that was the LAST time I ever went to Sea World.

22
Q

INTERVIEWER 1: Well I’ve gotta tell you Ben, everything looks great. Solid SATs, GPA high above our school’s average, and your essay was…well to be honest, quite moving.

A

BEN: Well, this is such a great university, I’d be honored to attend.

23
Q

INTERVIEWER 1: Hey, we’d be lucky to have you. Are you applying to any other schools?

A

BEN: Nope. Just here.

24
Q

INTERVIEWER 1: Oh, okay, great. Great.

A

BEN: So…

25
Q

INTERVIEWER 1: Uh… yes?

A

BEN: I’m in then?

26
Q

INTERVIEWER 1: Well, no. I mean not yet. I have to pass this along to my supervisors and…

A

BEN: (Dead pan and intense:) Sit down.

27
Q

INTERVIEWER 1: What?

A

BEN: Sit down, won’t you?

28
Q

INTERVIEWER 1: Is there a problem?

A

BEN: That depends on you. You see, for reasons I can’t entirely explain to you at this moment, it is vital that I attend this University. I’ve been meticulously planning for this day, years of SAT prep, AP classes, all in the hopes of being accepted. I was intending to hear an answer today.

29
Q

INTERVIEWER 1: Well, I’m sorry, I… don’t have the authority to just let you in right now.

A

BEN: There are forces at play here friend, forces that you cannot possibly comprehend. But trust me, it is very vital, and not just for me, but for the entire student body and faculty that I am enrolled for the fall semester. Many lives hang in the balance. You don’t want to be held responsible for the loss of life, do you?

30
Q

INTERVIEWER 1: Of course not… but… how is me letting you in today going to save lives?

A

BEN: The world is a series of connections and plans, every human being affects another, every decision has a consequence, and this decision… this decision will be the most important one you’ll ever make.

31
Q

INTERVIEWER 1: Ben, you’re being incredibly vague and…besides, it’s not as simple as “me letting you in.”

A

BEN: An oral agreement is legally binding in this state. So, in fact, it is that simple.

32
Q

INTERVIEWER 1: Look, what I can tell you is that it’s practically a done deal, I’m going to give you a great recommendation, and with your stats-

A

BEN: THAT’S NOT…what I’m asking for.

33
Q

INTERVIEWER 1: Ben, let’s not ruin what was a great interview by-

A

BEN: I’m not leaving until I get my answer.

34
Q

INTERVIEWER 1: Well you’re going to have to because I have another prospective coming in at one.

A

BEN: No you don’t. Your four o’clock cancelled this morning. You don’t have another appointment until Rebecca Smith at 4:45.

35
Q

INTERVIEWER 1: Okay, you know what, I’m not sure what happened here, but I’m going to have to call security.
(INTERVIEWER 1 picks up the phone. He clicks the receiver a couple of times.)
INTERVIEWER 1: Hello I…hello, hello?

A

BEN: Phone troubles?

36
Q

(INTERVIEWER 1 slowly puts the phone down. He gets up and backs away.)

A

BEN: Doors locked. And we’re ten stories up so the windows wouldn’t be a very… safe option either.

37
Q

INTERVIEWER 1: Alright, who are you?

A

BEN: A name is but a label, and I have many labels but that’s not important right now. What’s important is that you, tell me, right now… exactly what I was hoping to hear.

38
Q

INTERVIEWER 1: Ben if I could I would, it’s just-
(The lights go out. BEN immediately turns a flashlight, under-lighting his face. When INTERVIEWER 1 talks, he points the light on him.)

A

BEN: It’s only an outage, friend. Circuits break all the time.

39
Q

INTERVIEWER 1: Please, I don’t have any real authority. An acceptance from me would be meaningless

A

BEN: Then there’s no reason not to say it.

40
Q

INTERVIEWER 1: Why are you doing this?

A

BEN: I’m not doing this, you’re doing this. And it can all go away with three little words-

41
Q

INTERVIEWER 1: But it won’t-

A

BEN: NO! THOSE AREN’T THE RIGHT WORDS! SAY IT! JUST SAY IT!

42
Q

INTERVIEWER 1: Okay! I… you’ve been accepted. You’ve been accepted. You’ll be enrolled in the fall semester upon hearing of your acceptance.
(The lights come back on. BEN turns the lights off. A tense moment, then…)

A

BEN: (Switching back:) Oh man! That’s great! I can’t even tell you how… I gotta call my mom. It was so nice to meet you.
