　　SKYLAR
　　It’’s important that I learn this.
　　
　　WILL
　　Why is it important to you？ If I
　　inherited all that money， the only
　　thing important to me would be workin’’
　　on my swing.
　　
　　SKYLAR
　　Clearly.
　　
　　WILL
　　You’’re rich. What do you have to worry
　　about？
　　
　　SKYLAR
　　Rich？ I have an inheritance. It’’s
　　two handred and fifty thousand dollars.
　　That’’s exactly what it’’ll cost me，
　　minus about five hundred bucks， to go
　　all the way through med school. This
　　is what I’’m doing with that money. I
　　could have done anything I wanted. I
　　could have expanded my wardrobe，
　　substantially.
　　
　　WILL
　　Instead you’’re going to bust your ass
　　for five years so you can be broke？
　　SKYLAR
　　No， so I can be a doctor.
　　
　　A beat. Will nods. She looks down， then up.
　　
　　SKYLAR
　　All right， Mr. Nosey Parker. Let me
　　ask you a question？ Do you have a
　　photographic memory？
　　
　　WILL
　　I guess. I don’’t know. How do you
　　remember your phone number？
　　
　　SKYLAR
　　Have you ever studied Organic Chemistry？
　　
　　WILL
　　Some， a little.
　　
　　SKYLAR
　　Just for fun？
　　
　　WILL
　　I guess so.
　　
　　SKYLAR
　　Nobody does organic chemistry for "fun."
　　It’’s unnecessary. Especially for someone
　　like you.
　　
　　WILL
　　Like me？
　　
　　SKYLAR
　　Yeah. Someone like you who divides
　　his time， fairly evenly， between the
　　batting cages and bars.
　　
　　Will laughs.
　　
　　SKYLAR （cont’’d）
　　How did you do that？ I can’’t……I mean
　　even the smartest people I know， and
　　we do have a few at Harvard， have to
　　study-- a lot. It’’s hard.
　　（beat）
　　Listen， Will， if you don’’t want to tell me--
　　
　　WILL
　　Do you play the piano？
　　
　　SKYLAR
　　Come one Will. I just want to know.
　　
　　WILL
　　I’’m trying to explain it to you. So
　　you play the piano. When you look at
　　the keys， you see music， you see Mozart.
　　
　　SKYLAR
　　I see "Hot Cross Buns，" but okay.
　　
　　WILL
　　Well all right， Beethoven. He looked
　　at a piano and saw music. The fuckin’’
　　guy was deaf when he composed the Ode
　　to Joy. They had to turn him around
　　to take a bow because he couldn’’t hear
　　the crowd going crazy behind him.
　　Stone deaf. He saw all of that
　　music in his head.
　　
　　SKYLAR
　　So， do you play the piano？
　　
　　WILL
　　Not a lick. I look at a piano and I
　　see black and white keys， three pedals
　　and a box of wood. Beethoven， Mozart，
　　they looked at it and it just made
　　sense to them. They saw a piano and
　　they could play. I couldn’’t paint you
　　a picture， I probably can’’t hit the
　　ball out of Fenway Park and I can’’t
　　play the piano--
　　
　　SKYLAR
　　--But you can do my O-chem lab in under
　　an hour， you can--
