“2 INTERIOR: CLASS ROOM - DAY In one of the classrooms, MISS STUBBS, an attractive, bright, animated schoolteacher, is talking to a small group of sixteen-year-old girls. Some of these girls seem to be daydreaming - looking out of the window, examining their fingernails. A couple, including a bespectacled girl (ANN), who looks five years younger than everyone else in the class, write down everything the teacher says. Only one, JENNY, beautiful and as animated as her teacher, seems to be listenin...g in the spirit in which MISS STUBBS would like her to listen. She’s smiling, eyes shining - she loves MISS STUBBS and these lessons. MISS STUBBS asks a question and looks at the girls for a response.
