FADE IN: INT: SCHOOL HALLWAY.
Sitting in the hallway, two people, a girl and a guy, discuss getting financial aid for college.
Girl: I don’t know how I’m going to get financial aid. Do you know how much I’d get?
Guy: Well, are you poor?
(Both the girl and I gasp and look at the guy like, “oh no you didn’t!”)
Guy: Well, I mean, are you like, free lunch poor?
(Both the girl and I laugh nervously. I wonder if he realizes that he is asking really personal questions.)
Girl: Yeah, well, I guess I’m poor enough. (With a slight exaggeration in her tone) I am dirt poor.
Guy: Okay, yeah, you could probably get some money from that. Do you have sucky grades?
FADE OUT.
