Business Trip





Pam:[at school in NYC] Can't believe this. [pulls out cell phone... sighs]
Jim:[in office] Are you sure?
Pam:[over the phone] I just talked to my advisor. Failing.
Jim:Wow. I thought you were good at Flash.
Pam:I was, and then they switched to Acrobat just as I was learning Quark. I hate computers.
Jim:Okay, okay, it's no big deal. So you're not a computer geek.
Pam:I have to stay and retake it.
Jim:[looks shocked] W---Wow. Um. Well... okay.
Pam:That means another twelve weeks. [pause] Can you do this for another three months?
Jim:It's not--- It's not about me. I mean, this your dream.
Pam:[over phone] I know.
Jim:And you went to New York to do this. So when you come back you come back the right way. Right?
Pam:[starting to cry] Right.
Jim:[concerned look on face] You okay?
Pam:[over phone] Yeah I'm fine. Um... my cell phone battery's low, so I have to let you go.
Jim:Okay.
Pam:Alright.
Jim:Alright.
Pam:[over phone] Love you. Bye.
Jim:Love you too. [hangs up phone, Pam sits on a bench crying]
