Judith: What I'm about to say may be repeated to no one.
Mary: What is it? [all look around]
Judith: I was in the chancellor's office, and they were discussing the vacancy left by Dean Sumner. Mary, I have it on excellent authority that you have been selected as the new Dean of the School of Arts and Sciences.
Mary: Me?!
Judith: Shh!
Mary: [quietly] Me?
Judith: [quietly] You.
Mary: [quietly] I'm the new Dean?
Dick, Nina & Judith: You're the new Dean.
Judith: Remember, not a word to anyone. [a man bumps into Mary's chair]
Dick: Watch out, you idiot! You've just bumped into the new Dean!
