INT. CAFETERIA - DAY #9#

High glass, pale wood, pendant lamps. Real plates clatter at the tray return; card readers beep; an espresso wand hisses. Will is sitting by himself at a table having lunch. Hannah, on her way to some other place, spots him sitting.

HANNAH

Will?

Will looks up from his food.

HANNAH

Hannah. Last Friday? You disappeared on me.

WILL

Oh, yeah! You grabbing lunch?

HANNAH

I just ate. How is it?

WILL

(looking down)

Yeah, good. Remind me, what do you teach?

HANNAH

English. You?

WILL

Business school, yeah. Strategic marketing.

HANNAH

(sitting down)

I've never seen you here before.

WILL

Uh, no. I came in recently. Was looking for a change.

HANNAH

Oh. Why? Didn't like your old job?

WILL

(a beat, decides on truth)

My girlfriend died.

Hannah absorbs it.

HANNAH

I'm sorry.

WILL

No, that's alright. I should've lied, really.

HANNAH

No, that's okay. How did she die?

WILL

Cancer.

HANNAH

That's terrible. Quick or slow?

WILL

Quick.

HANNAH

Julia's sister took forever. I'm not sure which way is worse.

WILL

Julia?

HANNAH

My girlfriend?

WILL

Oh, right.

HANNAH

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be bumming you out during lunch.

WILL

Oh, that's fine. I started it.

HANNAH

I made a big deal of it.

WILL

Well, you look like an asshole if you don't, so...

HANNAH

(laughing)

That's right.

(considering)

Hey, you doing anything on Friday?

Will perks up.

WILL

I don't think so. Why?

HANNAH

We're having a little housewarming party. I know we just met, but...

WILL

I'd love to. Thanks.

HANNAH

Cool. Can I have your phone?

Will hands over his phone unlocked.

HANNAH

Here's my number... just message me. I gotta run, I have a class to teach. See you on Friday?

WILL

Yeah, Friday.

She stands up, walks off, then turns.

HANNAH

Oh, before I go... who did I remind you of?

WILL

Oh. I don't remember.

HANNAH

(smiles)

Maybe you'll figure it out. See ya.

WILL

Bye.

Will sits alone at the table again.
