THE WIDOW

So I was basically a career student until Paul got sick

and then I had to go back to work.

All I was really qualified to do was teach.

Doctor in Philosophy doesn't land itself to many careers, let's face it.

So, teaching it was.

I guess I'll probably end up a teacher then.

Do you really want to stick with Philosophy?

I do. Right now it's probably my favourite subject.

Maybe I just have a great teacher though.

He's buttering me up so he can get an A.

Well, if that's buttering you up then I got to say

Your eyes are beautiful in the candle light.

- B plus. - Oh, yeah.

The nights still young though.

In that case I think I'll have a little more wine.

- Would you like some more wine? - Yeah, absolutely.

- Yeah. - Thank you.

Top it off.

So do you always listen to classical music?

Not all the time.

What do kids listen to these days?

Trap music, is that what it's called?

I can't believe you just said "trap music".

Come on! I'm not that out of touch.

No, it's not that.

I didn't think that someone as brilliant as you would know what that meant.

It's not an age thing.

Digging myself a hole. I'll just shut up.

Well, you're not wrong that

Some intellectuals prefer classical music.

Yeah, I'm told it's because like... It's for thinking.

- You can't really dance to it. - Excuse me?

You certainly can. Come on, I'm gonna show you the box step.

I promise you it will drive the girls wild.

So, stand just like this.

And so I'm like this.

So I will be you.

You would normally lead but I'm going to teach you

And so just follow what I do.

We go with the same leg.

So take your left and you go back.

And slide together, and then...

Good.

And back again.

There you go. You're getting there.

The goal is to make it on this one.

The goal is to make it like fluid.

You dance like gliding to it.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

I think you're getting it.

There you go.

You know what's coming.

What's the one the guy grabs the girl and does a big tug?

- That one? - Yeah.

- That's a tango. - That's right, okay.

Yeah, but that's the only part I know.

That was a little work out.

I come over here to learn philosophy

And ended up learning about classical music and the box step.

Sorry, that was totally my fault.

Maybe from now I'm just might take the meeting at my office.

I don't know. I kind of like this teaching style.

Well, at least we talked a little about Tolstoy and...

Death and suicide and all that fun stuff.

Yeah, I think like, what, 10, 15 minutes?

No, it was more like five.

I guess we should call it a night.

I hope I managed to answer at least some of your questions and...

If there's anything else, feel free to email me

Or we can set up some office time.

You're just a terrific student, Michael.

And I'm so happy you thinking of going on for your PhD.

Thank you, professor.

Honestly, that means a lot.

Can I help you clean up with any of that stuff?
