The Place: Senior horse-meat fest end of the year dinner at Bellemont Manor

Conversation with the college president (right after his wife had praised Jillian's Senior Art Show painting, which was actually one done by Sabrine Friedline):

(Jillian is talking about how she's going to come back next semester to get a BFA)
PTM: So, you'll always have somewhere to stay if you come back next year.
Jillian: Yeah, unless she's in France.
PTM: So, are you and this young man serious?
srah: (Having expected him to say "So, are you going to France next year, then?" or at least something related to Jillian's statement) Wha? Uh, yeah, I guess...
Jillian: (catching on) He's not French, he's from Chile. You'd think that after studying French and going to France she'd fall for a French guy, but no, he's from Chile.
PTM: Oh, and what language do they speak in Chile?
srah: Dutch. Oh, I'm sorry, I just stabbed you in the head with a fork.

Sadly enough, the last part was fantasy.

You are supposed to be this hands-on, get-to-know-the-students kind of president and you don't even know what languages your students speak. Or is being ignorant about other countries just something that comes with the title of "president"?

Argh. Altogether now, folks, what language do they speak in Chile?
