"What do we do when we use the bathroom, Bob?" "We lift the lid." "I did." "You're disgusting." "Chew with your mouth closed." "Really, Pauline, I raised you better than that." "Yes, you may be excused." "Thank goodness I have you." "Hm." "Much has changed since I was an adolescent." "The function of reproductive organs, however, has not." "Now before we get side-tracked looking at pictures of penises," "I want to have a frank discussion on the issue of sexual transmitted diseases." "One in two sexually active teenagers will contract an STD by the age of 25." "What do you think about that?" "Yeah, Pauline?" "Can you contract an STD from having sex with a dead person?" "Any real questions in this audience?" "Yeah?" "If a mosquito bites you that has AIDS..." "No, I mean, it would be one thing if he was like muscular and a ginger." "But he's scrawny and a ging and it just doesn't work." "Oh, my God, you're so mean." "I think he's cute." "Okay, so last night Adam could not get hard" " and it was like totally awkward." " It's never stopped me." "Okay, tell me the truth." "Is it this?" "Like" "Please don't do that." " Is it?" "Just tell me the truth." " No." "Kind of." " Maybe he's gay." " No." "Hey." "What did I miss?" "Hey, nothing." "Your girlfriend's friend thinks you're gay." "Excuse me?" "You're not pretty enough." "Buckle up." "I'm your mother, it's my job and it's the law." "Buckle your seatbelt!" "We're not going any further until you do." "Thank you." "If you want to be treated as an adult, you need to start acting like one." "I don't understand why you insist on playing these childish games?" "Tell me about your day." "I'd rather not." "Tell me two things about your day or I'm gonna hit the truth horn." "Fuck the truth horn." "All right, enough!" "I learned about the Civil War and sexually transmitted diseases." "Lovely." "I guess we better get going." "We don't want to be late for your appointment." "You could you at least have the decency to take me to an actual psychiatrist." "Your father and I are not made out of money." "Reverend William is a very bright man." "You're lucky to have him." "He's doing you a real favor." "What's the matter, Pauline?" "What's the church's stance on organ donations?" "Well, it's a touchy subject." "Here we believe the body is a temple." "And what if I told you I found the resting place of Jesus Christ in my backyard and that with just a few advances in science and technology" "I could resurrect him myself?" "I'd say that you are a very troubled little girl." "I only want you to endure the same gut-wrenching agony during these sessions that I go through every single Sunday listening to your sermons." "Thank you!" "I know I don't believe in you." "So you're totally justified if you choose to ignore me." "I just" " I've been meaning to get something off my chest." "I haven't read your book in its entirety." "Just can't bring myself to invest that much time into a work of literature that's received so many mixed reviews." "I'm an avid reader." "There's just so much stuff out there." "Okay, here goes." "I'm planning on having premarital sex." "I know you're not gonna be 100 % onboard with it." "Which is why I was wondering if we could discuss your rules surrounding forgiveness." "I'm under the impression if I ask you to forgive me, you kind of have to." "Which is pretty awesome, I just got to say." "If I'm off-base, let me know." "Otherwise, I'm gonna move forward as planned." "Amen." "Something the matter, Pauline?" "I'm done." "Are you quite sure?" "Quite." "Some of these equations here, they don't seem to be completed." "That's probably because my ability to solve these equations has absolutely no bearing on my future as a surgeon." "Ah, a surgeon, of course." "You know, mathematics and surgery, they go hand in hand." "I mean, if a patient's life is at stake, there's no room for error." "Get it done." "It's such a lovely lapel pin." "You must tell me where you came across it." "Sweetheart, don't be confusing." "You know I can't understand a thing when you start waving your hands around like that." "Mom?" "Pauline?" "What a wonderful surprise." "What the fuck are you doing here?" "Don't make me wash your mouth out with soap." "Why do you have this?" "We were just talking about Cotillion." "You're trying to ruin my life." "Teenagers." "Mother, I'd like to talk to you about why you were at school today." "What about it?" "You do realize I'm too old for Cotillion class?" "Mrs. Guthrie has decided to open her doors to a wider age range this year." "She's a dear friend in dire need of assistance." "So I've decided to take on a position as chaperone." "You can't be serious." "No daughter of mine is going off to college without knowing the ins and outs of what it's like to be a proper lady." "I can't wait for Cotillion." "And what do you have to say about all this?" "I think what your mother is trying to do is" "Your mother?" "Excuse me." "This was our decision." "I knew Dad had nothing to do with it." "You don't even have enough backbone to stand up for your own wife?" "You're repulsive." "Make sure Grace takes her pills." "Un-fucking believable." "Sorry." "That's complete bullshit." "It's not gonna happen." "Happened to my sister." "I don't think we've been formally introduced." "I'm Pauline." "I'm Adam." "Forgive me for being too forward, but..." "I want to lose my virginity to you." "I'm clean and I spent my allowances on birth control, so..." "That's nice." "Adam." "It's my number." "Call me." " You're on the top of my list." " Thank you." "I won't wait forever." "I'm ready to lose my virginity." "It's a common misconception that having intercourse during menstruation is unhealthy." "When I lose my virginity," "I want to be on my period." "Girls, we're having early dinner." "I'm not hungry." "Come, Pauline." "Look at you." "I thought you were on a diet." "I'm not gonna keep cooking you special meals if you're gonna gorge yourself on ice cream." "Honey, it's the weekend!" "You're my heart, you know that, don't you?" "I saw Charlotte wearing a dress just like this one." "Who is Charlotte?" "She's the most popular girl I know." "She only dates older boys." "Stay away from Charlotte." "She sounds trashy." "No, she's not." "She only dresses like she is." "Sweetheart, you've got a bit of something on your nose." "I know, it's a piercing." "I did it last night." "You ruined your face?" "Did you sterilize the needle?" "What if it gets infected?" "I used antiseptic." "You know, I pierced a few things when I was younger, too." "You look like trash." "Get over it." "You are not going out of this house with that thing in your nose." "Look what you've done to your mother." "Now you take that thing out right now." "Bob, be honest." "Am I being too hard on Pauline?" "You both have your moments." "I'm not becoming my mother, am I?" "Honey, if you were becoming your mother" "I wouldn't be filing bills right now, I'd be filing for a divorce." "Not now." "It's just like Mom to make me take out my nose piercing." "You saw it this morning, right?" "The procedure was a success." "I'm telling you, Grace, these hands are gifted." "Martin broke up with me." "Who's Martin?" "My Internet boyfriend." "You'll move on." "Men are pigs." "That looks like fun!" "I haven't jumped rope since lower school." "I'm flat-footed, it's bad for my knees." "Okay?" "I could just get insoles." "Maybe we could jump rope some time." "I don't think so." "Hey!" "Don't be mean to my sister!" "Come on, Pauline." " Who is this?" " Uh, it's Adam, from school." "It's late, Adam, what is it?" "I want to take you up on your offer." "I have a car and a fake ID." "You know, we could get like a hotel room or something." "Pick me up Monday at noon." "Teacher work day?" "That's right, Adam, teacher work day." "I'll tell my mother we're in a study group." "Okay, good." "So, uh" "Dear God, one thing I've been thinking about." "The whole thing about relatives watching over you after they die really rubs me the wrong way." "I do a lot of crazy shit while I'm alone and I'd appreciate some privacy." "I don't want to sound presumptuous." "But if I do get into heaven and my relatives have been watching over me, a lot of relationships will have been compromised." " Hallelujah!" " Hallelujah!" " Hallelujah!" " Hallelujah!" "They have canoeing." "What's all this?" "We're sending your sister to CF camp." " What did she do?" " Cute." "Last summer, Gracie had the time of her life at CF camp, didn't you, honey?" "Everyone has the disorder, so I fit right in." "Mom, a boy named Adam is gonna pick me up around noon." "He's put together a study group, because we have a really big test next week." "I'll only be gone a few hours." "This boy in your study group must be something." "How'd you meet?" "Just get this over with." "So, um" "It's okay." "This will be our little secret." "I, uh... stole some condoms from my brother's room." "They're the big kind." "Take off your pants." "It appears you're too small for the big kind." "But that's not a bad thing." "It's just-- it'll hurt less, so it's good." "Um... we'll forget the condoms." "Like I said, I'm on birth control and that is over 99 % effective, so..." "Okay, yeah." "Take off your clothes, Adam." "God, you're so fucking wet." "I want you to go down on me." "Okay." "What the fuck?" "Thank you, Adam." "I had a really nice time." "Can you get the fuck off my car?" "How did it go?" "It was everything I'd hoped it would be." "Good." "I'm so glad." "First things first." "I don't want to be pregnant." "I know I was on my period and that pretty much takes care of that, but I'm still a little paranoid." "In any case, if I am pregnant, I'm just gonna have an abortion." "Apparently, you don't approve of abortion, so save us both the trouble." "It's okay." "She's with the angels." "I know." "You know what the worst thing is about having cystic fibrosis?" "What's that, sweetheart?" "When your friends die." "Last night we found out Grace's best friend from CF camp passed away." "Please make a special effort to be nice to her while she mourns the loss." "Where is she?" "She had a doctor's appointment." "She's gonna need a lung transplant, isn't she?" "You've been doing your homework." "It's a very serious procedure." "There's a high risk of infection." "With all the mishaps that happen in hospitals these days, perhaps you should consider an alternative." "That day is a Iong ways down the road, Pauline." "All right, next question." "Let's see." "Somebody asked," ""Is it true that being fat results in poor sperm quality?" "And if so, do you have to use protection while having sex?"" "Yes, fact: being overweight does affect your sperm quality." "What the hell are you doing?" "You're gonna set off the fucking fire alarm." "I lost my virginity yesterday." "Checking myself for STDs." "You are such a freak." "Who would sleep with you?" ""Mr. Claybaugh, does it mean that you're gay since you try to suck your own dick all the time?"" "Who asked this question?" "Anybody know who wrote this?" "If somebody could tell me who wrote this question..." "You're an idiot." "Do you really think that you're gonna be able to tell if you have an STD by looking at your blood?" "It's just one of those things." "Brachiosaurus thing." "Weird." "I don't know." " Sorry." " Hello, Adam." "Hey, what are you doing here?" "I'd watch out for Pauline, if I were you." "She gave herself an STD test in science class today." "Everything was fine, but you can never be too careful." "Oh, Natalie, I meant to ask you, do you have any STDs?" "Absolutely not." "Good, then neither do I." " What is she talking about?" " I have no idea." "How was school today?" "Dreadful." "Things not going well with your friend?" "What friend?" "The boy from the study group." "Adam?" "He was tolerable, but I've lost interest." "Well, that's a shame." "He seemed like such a nice young man." "First off, this will be our last session." "You are completely unqualified to be doing this." "It's unethical." "I have it on the highest authority that you're wrong." "I refuse to allow you to indulge in my psycho-sexual fantasies." "I would imagine a man as repressed as yourself would have his own issues to work out." "I'm here to listen, not judge." "Psychiatry is a science." "At least in some circles anyway." "If there's one thing I know, it's that science and religion don't mix." "So, that's it then?" "That's it." "Dear God, in regards to my sister, while I might not show it all the time," "I love her." "Please allow me to do everything in my power to cure her." "And lastly, my mother." "Kill her." "Kill her before she can make me attend those horrible Cotillion classes." "You'll probably want to make it painless." "I get it, that's your thing." "But hear me out." "A little pain never hurt anyone." "Besides, you can always just blame it on the devil." "And what have we here?" "My jump rope club's raising money to benefit inner-city youth." "How wonderful." "Step inside." " What are you doing here?" " None of your business." "You weren't very nice to me the other day." "You're weird." "Come here again and I will perform a tracheotomy on you with the blunt end of one of yourjump ropes." "God loves you." "Thank you." "What's so funny?" "Do you purposely leave your house looking like a raging lesbian?" "You do have the body of a 10-year-old boy." "That's a highly unfortunate opinion." "Especially considering your vagina looks like a diseased ax wound." "That's vile." "I actually get afraid that I might get a yeast infection just being in the same room with that thing." "Look, I spoke with Adam." "And I got to hand it to you, from the sounds of it, he's freakier than I imagined." "So I dumped him." "He's all yours." "Forgive my vulgarity, but Adam licks pussy like a dog drinks water." "I'm not interested." "Suit yourself." "You mind if I leave you with some advice?" "Make it quick, I got to take a shit." "You're disgusting." "Stop spending your allowance on birth control and invest in some estrogen pills, okay?" "♪ My bones fall in ♪" "♪ My bones fall out ♪" "♪ You're cool as silk ♪" "♪ Beside my heart... ♪" "What are you doing?" "I'm thinking of performing an umbilical plasty on myself." "What's that?" "Long story short," "I want to reshape my navel and allowance won't cover it." "What do you think?" "Boys don't care about belly buttons." "They care about these." "My world does not revolve around boys like yours does, Grace." "I'm doing this for myself." "Come on." "Breathe, Pauline." "Good girl." "Bob, you have a cold sore on your lip!" "You should have waited for the lifeguard." "Are you serious?" "She could have died." "Well, when she's a teenager, you get to explain to her why she has herpes on her lip." "Unbelievable." "Pauline, what did I tell you?" "The high dive is for big girls." "I can cut it myself." "I have some exciting news." "Today, I bought Pauline the most elegant dress." "Perfect for both church and Cotillion." "You won't let it rest, will you?" "I refuse to go to church." "Isn't it enough that I'm willing to subject myself to the humiliation of Cotillion with a bunch of adolescents?" "Well, Cotillion will help you land a decent husband." "I'm gonna get married one day." "To a black guy." "Well, don't expect for him to be faithful." "African-Americans are notorious adulterers." "Don't look at me like that, Bob." "Well, they are." "Tomorrow night is gonna be over before you know it." "Pauline, you're gonna look beautiful." "I know I can be a bit of a demented bitch sometimes." "But you still love me, right?" "Of course, I do." "Oh, God, you're getting a cold sore." "Jesus, Mom, show some tact." "It's okay." "We just won't do the pictures." "What's the occasion?" "Well, I was so excited about tonight, I couldn't sleep." "So I decided I might as well get started in the kitchen." "Bacon." "Nice." "Maybe if I eat enough I can induce a coronary." "Hey, Dad?" "Thanks." "You're welcome." "I saved your life." "On the off-chance that I have another near-death experience and you're the only one around, what new sexually transmitted disease can I expect to acquire?" "I will be down in 10 minutes." "Please be ready to go." "Come upstairs when you're through with your breakfast." "Dad?" "I don't want to hear it." "Young lady?" " Principal Campbell." " Mm-hmm." "Save some for the rest of us." "AII right?" "Ew, don't sit next to me." "Where's your friend Natalie?" "None of your business." "Yes, Pauline?" "I have to go to the bathroom." "Do you have any hall passes left?" "No." "Oh, well, I'm sorry," "I'm afraid you're gonna have to wait until the bell rings." "Anyone here like to take a shot at explaining Cramer's Rule to the class?" "Anyone?" "Abigail." "It's a formula for solving systems of equations by determinants." "Yes, correct." "Yes, Pauline?" "I have to go to the bathroom." "All right, make it quick." "And don't make me regret this." "Oh!" "Congratulations!" "You've now lost your bathroom privileges to the end of the semester." "Was I really gone that long?" "Just take out your text book, page 73." "See if you can catch up with the rest of the class." "And if you have any questions, you know where I am." "What is it now, Pauline?" "I feel sick, may I go to the clinic?" "Tough it out." "In another 10 minutes, you'll be somebody else's problem." "You are so full of shit." "Mr. Cooper?" "I think I'm gonna be sick." "Oh!" "Oh, that's disgusting." "Well, your temperature's normal." "Maybe you have food poisoning." "Maybe." "There's a multitude of bacterial infections" "I'm not willing to rule out." "Let's not forget to sanitize that." "It is my favorite thermometer." "I'm very disappointed in you." "For what?" "When your school called, my first inclination was to check the medicine chest." "A touch unsympathetic, I know." "But I have a pretty good grasp of how your mind works." "That's when I discovered that the ipecac syrup had mysteriously disappeared." "That's impressive detective work, Mother." "Pretending that you're sick?" "It's an all-time low, Pauline." "Your sister would do anything for a healthy body and you take it so for granted." "Relax." "It's not Iike I have Munchausen Syndrome." "It was a last ditch effort to get out of Cotillion." "That's all." "Well, it didn't work." "You look beautiful." "We're gonna have to beat the boys off with a stick." "Gross." "Agh, back off!" "Good lord, Pauline!" "You just had something on your face." "The average human mouth contains nearly 600 species of bacteria." "My cheek might as well be a Petri dish." "When did you become so germaphobic?" "I thought you wanted me to make a good impression, right?" "In the unlikely event that someone shows up with a microscope you can blame me, okay?" "Stand up straight." "Better." "Mother, this is bizarre." "I didn't take the age difference into consideration as much as I should have." "For that I apologize." "Try and make the best of things." "You okay?" "I'd rather be at home with a good book." "Well, that makes two of us." "What do you think boys see in all these overly made-up cum dumpsters?" "I wouldn't know." "Boys don't talk to me unless they need help with their homework." "Have you ever thought about having work done?" "Want to dance?" "So, how old are you?" "18." "That's pretty old." "Not really." "Grace Marie!" "What on earth has gotten into you?" "I'm vulnerable right now." "Young lady, you just lost your computer privileges permanently." "Amber, I'm really sorry, but this is not working out." "I think I'm gonna have to pull the girls from Cotillion." "What's-- what's that on your lip?" "It's a cold sore." "It's pretty disgusting." "Oh, well, thanks." "Sorry." "What happened?" "The girl with herpes on her face kissed me." "Does that mean I'm gonna have herpes on my face, too?" "Not necessarily." "I asked her to dance." "I thought she was a retard." "I was just trying to be nice." "Pauline, how could you?" "It's pretty self-explanatory, Mother." "I fell victim to his charm." "♪ My friend said ♪" "♪ That she saw you last ♪" "♪ That you talked a while ♪" "♪ And it was good but sad ♪" " ♪ And I can't believe... ♪" "♪ How long it's been ♪" "♪ I don't know what to do about it ♪" "♪ Summertime ♪" "♪ We're all drinking beers ♪" "♪ We can't live without us ♪" "♪ We all work so hard ♪" "♪ And I can't believe ♪" "♪ How long it's been ♪" "♪ I don't know what to do about it ♪" "♪ Too much in between ♪" "♪ There's too much in between. ♪" "Where have you been?" "The library." "I get a concerned call from Principal Campbell that you didn't show up for school today." "And you expect me to believe that you were at the library?" "You saw her at dinner." "She's disturbed." " I want her out of this house." " She's a teenager." "Bob, don't you dare take her side!" "I will divorce your ass so fast, you won't see it coming!" " Come on, don't be" " Bob, she's a fucking menace!" "No wonder all of her friends have fallen by the wayside." "You have to be fucking crazy to want to spend time with her." "I have tried and tried!" "And it is impossible to love her."

"Very sorry." "You were already too far gone." "Pauline, honey, we're home." "Pauline?" "We're home." "Everything all right in there?" "I'm fine!" "Gracie, Pauline, dinner time!" "Pauline, your toilet is clogged again." "What on earth are you flushing down there?" "I must not be getting enough fiber." "That's enough." "This is inappropriate dinner conversation." "Honestly, Bob, sometimes I feel as if I have a third child." "And just where do you think you're going?" "You haven't asked to be excused." "May I please be excused?" "Not until you finish your dinner." "I'm full, and I don't need any more calories." "We can't all use menopause as an excuse for weight gain." "I think you look great." "Dear God, I've had a lot on my plate recently." "Last week I had sex for the first time." "My little sister is slowly dying." "And my mom, as I'm sure you know, is a total bitch." "I'd accept full responsibility for all my actions, but let's face it, you gave me hormones." "I need to talk." "What did I do?" "Nothing." "You didn't do anything." "I just want to talk." "I've been reading this new book in my book club." "It's caused me to do a lot of self-reflection." "Although, honestly, sometimes I feel like I'm the only one reading it." "I swear to you, Pauline, some of these ladies, they just use it as an excuse to get together." "Anyway, it's got me thinking that... perhaps I could be a bit more patient." "Sounds like you joined the right book club a few years too late." "Take it easy, Pauline." "Some of your behavior has been downright sociopathic." "Solely based on the definition," "I don't know a teenager who doesn't profile as a sociopath." "When I was your age, my mother hurt me more than words can say." "I'm still trying to forgive her for that." "I don't want us to have that relationship." "Are you finished?" "Natalie, oh, my God, you're a dumb ass." "Cunt is spelled with a C." "Fuck off." "If it's spelled with a K you still know what it means." "It sounds the same." "Oh, my God, cross it out." "You're an idiot." " No, it's fine." " Cunt is with a C." "Yeah, well, Pauline's a fucking moron, so it's fine." " You're a fucking moron." " Fuck off." "I don't understand it." "I don't." "What-- what is it with you, Pauline?" "Have you no remorse?" "I'm the victim here, Principal Campbell." "It's not my fault I was born with a chemical imbalance." "Will you stop making excuses for yourself?" " I'm not making excuses." " Yes, you are." "We've been all through your file and there's no mention here of any kind of psychological problem." "Give me five minutes with a clinical psychiatrist and you'll have a doctor's note that will clear this right up for you." "Isn't that how it's done?" "No, no." "You will be held accountable for your own actions." "You understand?" "You." "You, look super busy." "I'm gonna go." "Suspended indefinitely." "You're months away from graduating and you pull this kind of stunt?" "There's only one explanation the way I see it." "I have borderline personality disorder." "It's gone undiagnosed for years and this was a cry for help." "Go to your room." "Bob!" "I need the plunger." "You and your father are relentless." "Entering as you knock completely defeats the purpose of knocking." "Oh, my God." "What did you do to your arm?" "Relax, I'm not a cutter." "It's sort of like a tattoo." "It's hideous." "What on earth would compel a young girl to carve a crucifix into her arm?" "It's the symbol for the Red Cross." "Bob!" "Why is everyone so sad?" "We're not sad, honey." "We're disappointed." "Your sister did a very bad thing today." "Do you have any idea how hard I've worked to get you into that school?" "Now you're on the verge of being expelled." "It makes me sick to my stomach." "I'm not one to advocate violence, but every now and then, people like Natalie need to be punched in the face." "I've tried to be supportive, but I'm finished." "You're delusional about a career in medicine." "I think at this rate, you'd have a hard time holding down a job at a fast food restaurant." "Give it a rest." "I can always take the GED test." "Open up some sort of private practice." "Like your father said, you're delusional." "Never thought I'd say this, but I'm starting to miss not having the whole family at breakfast." "I can wake you up for family breakfast if you Iike." "On second thought, this is very nice." "Your father and I had a long talk last night." "Jesus Christ." "Do not use the Lord's name in vain." "Not now, not ever." "Go on." "I'm not gonna pretend to understand what you're going through." "It's over my head." "So your father and I have decided to break the bank and send you to see a real psychiatrist." "The earliest appointment we could get is for next week." "Hopefully, you'll have an easier time opening up to Dr. Sadler than you have to us." "If money is tight, feel free to dip into my college fund." "We are praying for a miracle." "It'd be a miracle if Dr. Sadler could undo the damage caused by Reverend William." "We might not have always made the best decisions for you, but we have always had your best interest in mind." "Hello." " Hey." " Hey." "Dr. Gray called with bad news." "He's recommending that we put Grace on the transplant list." "I don't understand, she looks so healthy." "Where's Mom?" "Mrs. Taylor is sick." "She's taking a casserole over to her house." "What are you doing?" "Looking at pictures." "I hope I Iive long enough to get married some day." "I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure that happens." "What was that for?" "I've been doing a Iot of research on your condition." "And I read that your skin tastes like salt." "Yuck." "Well, if I ever do get married some day," "I want you to be my maid of honor." "This may seem a little bit out of character for me, but I want to thank you both for putting up with me the way that you have." "I tried to call you several times today." "What have I told you about not picking up your phone?" "Can we not do this right now?" "I'm trying to have a heart to heart." "Yeah, let her speak." "I'm enjoying this." "Go ahead, sweetie." "I just want you both to know that I plan on making you proud." "Being expelled from school forced me to put things into perspective." "I'm turning my life around." "I realize... it's not all about me anymore." "Well, I'm glad to hear that, honey." "Sometimes it takes hitting rock bottom for us really to want to make a change." "What your father is trying to say, is that we'll believe it when we see it." "In other news, your father and I are gonna go into the city tomorrow night for dinner." "Jennifer's gonna come over and look after you girls." "Jennifer is two years older than me and she's coming over to babysit?" "Jennifer is a very responsible young woman." "Call Dr. Gray!" "I want to thank you for providing me with the mental and physical strength to accomplish great things." "Thank you for believing in me when no one else does." "Against my betterjudgment," "I guess what I'm trying to say is it's getting harder and harder for me not to believe in you." "I'd ask you to put in a good word with my parents, but I've pretty much got that taken care of." "I'm gonna be out of reach for a while." "I hope you don't get lonely." "Amen." "You nearly slept the day away." "I need my eight hours." "Jennifer cancelled, your father is gonna stay and look after you girls." "He should be home any minute." "I made us some tea." "Since when do you drink tea?" "Since I started reading about anti-oxidants." "You're not getting any younger." "You should take better care of yourself." "If Mother cared about you half as much as I do, she'd make you drink tea every day." "Look, Pauline." "You need to lay off your mother." "Everything she does, she does out of love." "One day you'll understand." "I'm really sorry we got off on the wrong foot." "I was hoping to make amends." "I've got some old jump ropes." "My sister can't use them 'cause of her lungs." "Grace?"

"Come closer." "I want to show you the detailed work I did on Grace's sutures." "It's a mess, I know." "It's just my first surgery." "I haven't perfected my technique." "What have you done?" "What have I done?" "You mean, with the other one?" "I didn't know what to do with her body after I successfully retrieved the lung." "So I practiced my incisions." "You have to take a closer look, Mom." "She is extraordinary."
