Synopsis

Two older men reveal class differences in their choices of a college for their grandson, a math genius. Andrew prefers Stanford (“Why not give him the best?”), but Matt prefers Santa Clara, his old college. In a phone call they learn that their grandson is receiving a full scholarship to his first choice: Nebraska University. The men are stunned, realizing they have become irrelevant — even invisible. They try to flag down a waiter for another drink but aren’t seen.
