JORDAN driving MILES home from school.

A Donny Hathaway concert recording is playing in the background.

MILES: …

JORDAN: …

MILES: …

JORDAN: …

MILES: We learned about white privilege today.

JORDAN: You did?

MILES: Uh huh.

JORDAN: Like… in class? Or at recess?

MILES: In class.

JORDAN: In the 5th grade?

MILES: Uh huh.

JORDAN: … huh.

A brief moment of silence.

MILES: Since I’m half white, do I get white privilege?

JORDAN looks at MILES.

JORDAN thinks about it.

JORDAN: You know son, that’s a good question.

Pause.

JORDAN: I don’t know. How about this - in 15 years, you tell me.

END OF PLAY.
