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?
