[Archive desk. A map hangs behind two chairs.] VISITOR: The garden should have a label. JONAH: I put your interview beside it. VISITOR: Beside is not the same as on. JONAH: Someone else remembers football there. VISITOR: We had a garden. JONAH: I believe you. I do not know whether you mean the same year.
