[He almost giggles as he crosses to Ben and takes his hand to shake it. Mrs. Braddock appears in the doorway]

Mrs. Braddock: What's happening

Mrs. Braddock: I don't believe it.

Mr. Braddock: That what he says. Right?

Benjamin: I'm going up to Berkeley today.

Mrs. Braddock: Oh, Ben. This is so exciting.

Benjamin: No, they don't.

Mr. Braddock: Well, when did you decide all this?
