TEXT: [Scene: The School Cafeteria. Joey is sitting at a table alone when she notices Jen walking in carrying some books. She waves to Jen. Jen sees her and begins walking over to her.] Jen: Ugh. Joey: Uhh. Nice dramatic entrance. Jen: I aim to please. Thanks. Joey: Wow... are these all the colleges you got into? Jen: Well, the colleges that Jack and I both got accepted to. Now, all we have to do is narrow down the choices. Joey: There's, like, 5 colleges there. Jen: What can I say? He's really good at the application process, which means he can always resort to a career in civil service or education. So, how about you? You hear anything? Joey: No. Which means I can always resort to a career in waitressing. Jen: Hardly. [Someone walks up and hand Joey a note that says come to the administration office and call home.] Jen: Hmm. Something tells me you're wrong. [Scene: Inside a classroom. Dawson has just received the same kind of note that Joey received, and Jack looks over from the desk next to him and reads it.] Jack: Something tells me it's a sign. Dawson: You think? Jack: Well, would there be another reason to pull the respectable Dawson leery out of class? I think not. [Scene: The Administration office. Joey is in there waiting for the secretary when Dawson walks in. There is a boy on the phone and he hangs up and walks out of the office with a disappointed look on his face.] Dawson: Hey. This is a coincidence. Joey: Hopefully a good one. Secretary: I'll be glad when April's over. Parents should let you kids open your own college mail instead of torturing you over the phone. [The secretary pushes a phone over to each of them] Dial 9 to get out. Dawson: Well, I guess this is it. Another life-altering moment. Good luck. Joey: Same to you. [The both pick up the phone in front of them and dial home.] Dawson: Mom. Hey. Yeah, that
