Mrs. Anderson: Dean? May I speak to you? [Dean walks to the front of the class] It's not like you to get a "C." Do you have an explanation? [Dean sighs] Maybe it was unfair of me to expect you to study. This must be such a difficult time for your people. Let's just go ahead and make this one an "A."
Adult Dean: Wait. What's this, now?
Dean: Y- You mean... 'cause of Dr. King?
Mrs. Anderson: You must feel so... lost.
Adult Dean: Now, I knew that taking advantage of the tragic death of the greatest civil-rights icon in history was inappropriate, but I'd just gotten my heart broken for the first time. Give me a break.
Dean: So lost. But this helps.
Mrs. Anderson: Does this help, too? [hugs Dean]
Dean: [whispers] Yes.
