In this short scene, we are introduced to a young woman who has just graduated from a high school. She has just returned from a field trip to a small town in the south of France, and she has overheard a conversation between a girl and a boy in which the girl tells the boy that he is too young to be a student at her school. The boy, however, does not believe her, and tells her that he has heard the girl say that she would like to go to a "high school" in France. The girl tells him that she does not want to go, and the boy, who has not yet graduated from high school, asks her why she wants to go. She explains that she has been told that she is too old to attend a school of her own age, and that she will not be able to go because of her age. She tells him to go away, but he refuses to listen to her, saying that he would rather not go to school with her.
