At YO’S SUSHI, soaking up Asahi beer and SUNSHINE. The children are fed MISO. IDYLLIC, it is.
ME: Hey Claire, there’s a position coming open on the Supreme Court.
CLAIRE: Hmm?
ME: Do you think you could finish your law degree by, oh, say June?
CLAIRE: But I’m just a kid.
ME: But I’ve always wanted to say “my daughter, the Supreme Court justice.”
CLAIRE, PRAGMATICALLY: Well, you just said it.
There is a PAUSE.
ME: I’ve dreamed of this moment for so long.
JEREMY: At least we know she has the right kind of legalistic mind.
