Our Little Corner in the World

Richard: Logan I wanted to talk to you. I’ve just heard about the incident.
Logan: The…?
Richard: I heard that you professed your feelings for Rory.
Logan: (Surprised) What?
Richard: Mr. Bell is a very dear friend of mine as is the Dean of Admissions. Well you know this place, news travels fast.
Logan: Yeah look…
Richard: I have to tell you that while I understand what could have driven you to such a public display of affection, there is a proper time and place for that sort of thing. In a classroom, in a middle of a class is not one of them.
Logan: No, I know. I…
Richard: However, what is done is done, it’s out. So I dropped by to tell you that I’ve spoken to your father.
Logan: My father???
Richard: We pondered out a few things, property agreements, prenups, that sort of things.
Logan: OK I think there’s …
Richard: Oh we came to a very good agreement. I’m sure you will be pleased. Now we are setting up a dinner for next week to finalize the engagement and start talking about the ceremony.
Richard: Emily is handling all the newspapers announcements so not to worry, that’s all being taken cared of.
Logan: But …
Richard: She is a fine young lady Logan. I want her to be happy, you will take care of that I assume. Alright, I’ll let you get back to your coffee break. Nice seeing all of you again. And Logan… welcome to the family son.

Where you lead
I will follow
Anywhere that you tell me to
If you need, if you need me to be with you
I will follow
Where you lead

If you’re out on the road
Feelin’ lonely and so cold
All you have to do is call my name
And I’ll be there
On the next train

Emily, please. It’s Rory. What she tackles, she conquers. This girl could name the state capitals at 3, recite the periodic table at 4, discuss Schopenhauer’s influence on Nietzsche when she was 10. She’s read every book by every author with a Russian surname and had a 4.2 grade-point average at one of the toughest schools on the east coast. If she’s excluding salmon puffs, she has a good reason to exclude salmon puffs. And I, for one, have complete confidence in her ability to tackle this job, and so should you.

But not as cute as Pushkin

Richard: Logan! 
Logan: Huh? Richard! 
 [stands up to shake his hand] 
Logan: Wow, this is a pleasant surprise! Finn, Colin, you know Richard, don't you? 
Richard: [shakes thier hands] Why, hello, boys. Nice to see you. Logan, I wanted to talk to you. I just heard about the incident. 
Logan: The... 
Richard: I heard that you professed your feelings for Rory. 
Logan: [shocked] Wha-? 
Richard: Mr. Bell is a very dear friend of mine, as is the Dean of admissions. Well, you know this place, news travels fast. 
Logan: Yeah, look... 
Richard: I have to tell you that, while I understand what could have driven you to such a public display of affection, there is an appropriate time and place for that sort of thing. And a classroom in the middle of class is not one of them. 
Logan: No, I know, I... 
Richard: However, what's done is done. It's out. So I dropped by to tell you that I have spoken to your father. 
Logan: My father? 
Richard: We pounded out a few things. Property agreements, pre-nups, that sort of thing. 
Logan: Okay, I think that there's been... 
Richard: Oh, we came to a very fair agreement. I'm sure you'll be pleased. Now, we're setting up a dinner next week to finalize the engagement and start talking about the ceremony. 
 [Logan is in shock] 
Richard: Emily is handling all the newspaper announcements, so, not to worry. That's all taken care of. 
Logan: But... 
Richard: She is a fine young lady, Logan. I want her to be happy. You'll take care of that, I assume. All right, I'll let you get back to your coffee break. Nice seeing all of you again. And Logan, welcome to the family, son. 
 [Richard turns and thumbs his nose in Rory's direction, who has watched the entire scene. She and Richard meet in the hall, laughing] 
Richard: I do hope one of his dopey looking friends knows CPR, or he just might not make it. 
Rory: You're the best, Grandpa! 
Richard: All right, who's next? Paris giving you any trouble? 
Rory: Not anymore than usual. 
 [They walk down the hall together] 
Rory: However, there is a girl in my modern poetry class who keeps kicking my chair. 
Richard: Ah, I do love this place. 
Rory: Right back at you, Grandpa.

Cranking Metallica? If that’s some sort of drug reference, it isn’t funny.

It is one of the great pleasures, of my life, to be able to surround you with a house full of useless objects.
