(Ariana has asked Isaac to help her cheat and he is upset by this, but now they are about to leave for the decathalon, and he takes her aside)
(Ariana has asked Isaac to help her cheat and he is upset by this, but now they are about to leave for the decathalon, and he takes her aside)
ISAAC - You asked me to think about something, something I didn't ever want to consider....
ARIANA- And you've thought about it?
ISAAC - Yes. All night....I couldn't sleep....
ARIANA - I'm sorry....
ISAAC - Are you really?
(She bristles, turns away)
ISAAC - I have one last thing to share before we start.....
ARIANA - From the look on your face, I imagine it has something to do with math....
ISAAC - Geometry.
ARIANA - As if there's a difference!
ISAAC - You offered me something, and I.....was tempted to because......winning is tempting.
ARIANA - So I guess the answer is no....good guess, huh?
ISAAC - Geometry is based on lines.....and a line is .....
ARIANA -..... straight....has no thickness and extends in both directions without end......see, I did learn something.....
ISAAC - Infinity. But sometimes....you have a line ....in the sand......and it has....a beginning and an end, right where you put down your foot, where you make your stand....this is where I have to make my stand......and I'm not sorry....
(She shakes her head, turns to leave, stops looks back)
ARIANA - You missed a good chance, my friend.....see you at the winner's table.....
(She exits, and he watches)
ISAAC - But I am sorry.....for you.....
