39 In a car. He’s driving. EVELYN And math — there’s a great math curriculum — she thought you’d like that. It’s an all-girl’s school but there’s a boy’s school nearby so she’ll get the, y’know, feminine bonding she’s looking for but also high school traditions like prom and whatnot. I read the pamphlet she brought home and the tuition is only a little more than what we’re currently paying and she also said there’s a possibility of a scholarship which she’ll find out about if she gets accepted. She’s a bit behind and the application is due next week but we went through it and I think she’ll be able to pull it together. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen her this excited, Ray. There’s a real glint in her eye. RAYMOND Hm. EVELYN Anyway, she wanted me to raise it with you before she showed you the pamphlet tomorrow. I know this night is for something else, you’ve got other things on your mind tonight, but as I said she’s under a bit of time pressure with the application. So I told her I would bring it up first. RAYMOND … Why? EVELYN Why what? RAYMOND Why do you have to bring it up first? EVELYN I don’t have to. I offered to. RAYMOND Why though? EVELYN No reason! I thought it would be easier coming from me. RAYMOND Why? Why would it be easier coming from you? Why wouldn’t Annie just tell me in the same way she told you?
