Ian's finished reading all the letters
Ian: Well, Fullerton accepted you! And so did SUNY-Albany.
Candy: [Pouts] But I wanted to go to Columbia! What am I supposed to do now?
Ian: Grin and bear it. Most people don't get into their first choice school. You still have some good options though.
Candy: [Pretends to cry] How am I supposed to decide?
Ian: First, which kind of weather do you like better? Three hundred days of sunshine, or four seasons?

伊恩:好吧,加州州立大学富乐顿分校录取你了!纽约州立大学奥本尼分校也是。

Ian goes to meet Candy at her place on Wednesday night
Candy: So, before we get a drink, let me show you what Columbia sent me!
Ian:[Reads letter] “Your application was one of many excellent applications, and we considered long and hard...” Blah blah blah. “...and we wish you much success in your future endeavors.”
Candy: Isn't that great? They not only accept me, but they wish me success, too!
Ian: Candy, this is a REJECTION letter! I need to look at everything else you got.
Candy: What do you mean? I didn't get in?
