HILLARY
So what do you tell her?
She pauses, not sure if she should have voiced her thoughts.
HILLARY (Con’t)
(apologetically)
Sorry I didn’t mean…
OLIVER
Who?
HILLARY
Your wife, what do you tell her?
Oliver looks at her quizzically, not sure why she is prying into his life.
OLIVER
She knows I have a job. With the government.
Hillary looks at Oliver, trying to figure out what makes him tick. She tries again.
HILLARY
How long have you been with The Agency?
OLIVER
(beat)
19 years this September.
HILLARY
That’s a long time to be a secret.
OLIVER
It’s a long time to be anything.
Oliver stares off to the left, focused on some distant point.
OLIVER (CON’T)
Especially a secret.
