INT. CAFETERIA
Arthur, Taylor and the twins sit at a table.
ARTHUR
( pleasantly surprised)
Is it always this good here?
WILLIAM
Don't dream. They don't make burgers every day.
EMILY
Didn't you eat well in France?
ARTHUR
There were many restrictions...
TAYLOR
Didn't you have enough to eat?
ARTHUR
I can't say that. Mom and I were privileged but there was little meat.
TAYLOR
Meat became scarce during the war...
EMILY

EMILY

EMILY

WILLIAM
Don't worry, nobody loves him.
TAYLOR
And Miss Gomez?
ARTHUR
She's adorable!

And the history geography teacher?
ARTHUR
He seemed nice.
WILLIAM
I hate him...
ARTHUR
( surprised)
And why is that?
TAYLOR
He's a hypocrite...
WILLIAM
It lowers all students to class councils.
EMILY
And classes?
ARTHUR
Excuse me?
EMILY
You didn't have too much trouble taking the classes?
ARTHUR
It's a little complicated...
WILLIAM
What about math?
ARTHUR
I always had trouble in French, so in English...
