"It's either the best day of your life or sheer torture." " What do you do together?" " I don't know." "We eat." "[Mrs. Lefkowitz] Huh.!" "That's it?" "Oh, do things she likes to do." "Read the fashion magazines, surf the Net, watch the smut on the cable." " I don't have cable." " [Mrs. Lefkowitz] No cable?" "And she wonders why she and the girl aren't all buddy-buddy." "I don't need television to build a relationship with my granddaughter." "You're new to this." "Trust me." "It's all about surround sound." "[Woman On TV] I just needed a little kiss to make me feel better... but now it wasn't working." " Maggie!" " Oh!" "We're having Cosmopolitans." "Would you like one?" "[Woman On TV] I wasn't getting the same rush." "Tonight, I needed more." "No, thanks." "Meanwhile, uptown, Charlotte wondered when relationships had gotten so complicated."

"I don't know what I want, but" " I've seen this one." " [Charlotte] I can't." " I want children and nice bedding and" " It's funny."

"Good night." "[Water Running]" "What's up with Lewis?" "I don't know what you're talking about." "I say go for it." "Just jump him." "Maggie!" "Don't talk like that." "Here." "Half the fun of sex..." "is talking about it." "Well, I guess I missed that half." "You never talked about sex?" "[Sighs] Occasionally with Ira." "Kind of." "Yeah, but what about girlfriends?" "The first time you got laid." "You had to tell someone that." "It was my wedding night." "It was assumed." "You missed out on one of the all-time greatest conversations in life." "Who'd you tell?" "Rose." "Well, maybe if I'd had a sister." "Even when you were so small... you had a bond that I'd never had with anyone." "You still close like that?" "Sure." " You don't talk about her." " What do you want to hear?" "We're totally fine." "We're-We're tight." "We're thick as thieves." "Let's ask her down." "I'd like to know her too." "You know, I doubt she would come."

" Shop for food, cook for my boyfriend." " I know his name." "I know, but I've never really had a real, live, grown-up boyfriend before... and I'm gonna use the word as often as I can." "All right, first of all, he's not grown up." "None of them are." "You know, there's a consistency to your cynicism which is truly beautiful." "Hmm."

" Why isn't she here?" "Is something wrong?" " No, we just had a fight." " About what?" " Can we talk about this later?" "Yes." "Bad enough she monopolizes the evening when she's here." "Oh, let me see that ring." "[Gasps] Oh, wow." "Look at that." "Rose tells me you have a daughter as well, Sydelle." "My Marcia?" "You'll meet her." "You'll love her." "Everyone does."

" You will." "What was the fight about?" "Mmm." "Girl stuff." "Oh, shit." "Oh.!" "I should have used fresh vegetables instead of frozen." "[Ella] I don't think so." "They were great." " Really delicious." "They were good." " Really?" "Yes." " So, have you heard from Rose?" " No." " So she hasn't gotten back to you." " About what?" "You were going to invite her down, Maggie." "I don't know where you got that idea." "Maggie, I specifically asked you to." "So?" "Just because you specifically asked doesn't mean I'm going to." "You shouldn't smoke." "You have a family history of lung cancer." "I have a family history of car wrecks too." "Does that mean I shouldn't drive?" " That is not funny." " It wasn't supposed to be." "All right, what is the problem between you and Rose?" " Why don't you want her to visit?" " Why do you?" "I mean, am I not good enough for you?" "This has nothing to do with you." "She's my daughter's daughter, and I want to get to know her too." "[Water Running]" "What was Caroline like with you girls?" "I mean, as a mom, how do you remember her?" "Why don't you ask Rose?" "Maggie, please grow up." "She was special." "Different than the other moms." "She used to surprise us." "One time I opened up my lunch box... and there was a tiara inside." "A tiara." "With your sandwich?" "Instead of a sandwich." "What was she like as a daughter?" "No tiaras." "But I loved her so much." "But loving her in the right way was difficult, for me, anyway." "I didn't know there was a right way and a wrong way." "Neither did I." "I had ideas" "I had unwelcomed ideas about how to keep her safe." "Like?" "Like, I thought she should have been on her medication all the time." "I thought that her relationship with your father... was far too passionate for her to handle." "And as far as children were concerned... she was in no condition, no condition at all." "So you wish she never had me." "You know what I wish, Maggie?"

"Hey, you're not sticking around... to watch me ooh and ahh over a Mixmaster Deluxe?" "It's good of you to let Sydelle do this." " Oh, like gale force winds could stop her." " Go easy on her." " Marcia's giving her a very hard time these days." " Oh, what's she doing?" "Decorating in last year's colors?" "She joined Jews forJesus." "Yoo-hoo!" "Ladies, it's time... for the entertainment portion of our soiree." "Uh, everyone get where you can see." "Anita, Jackie, come on." "Scoot. [Giggles] Here we go." "[Women] Aw!"

" [Woman] A little heavy." " Oh." "One thing Rose always had was a great appetite." " [Laughter]" "For life!" "[Groans]" "Oh, God!" "Why would anyone want to marry me?" "I'm disgusting!" "The only disgusting person here is your stepmother." "She's hideous." "So why is she giving me this party?" "She hates me."

"I felt likeJackie Kennedy in that suit." "Give me your credit card." "Give it to me." "Can I get you a size?" "No, I'm going to the women's suit department." "[Door Opens]" "So?" " Jackie Kennedy?" " Better." "Jackie Onassis." "That looks so good on you." "Oh, Maggie, you're so sweet." "Good job!" "You ready?" "I don't know what to wear to a Main Line wedding." "It doesn't matter." "Wear whatever you want." " Believe me, when the bride's name is Lopey, it matters." " Look, th-that looks great." " Come on." " Really?" " Yeah." "Come on." "We gotta go." " Okay."

"I've felt horrible about myself for two solid months." "I've felt horrible about myself my whole life... so you'll get no sympathy from me." "You know what they called me growing up?" "Fudgie the Whale." "I'm still shocked when a woman wants me... and sometimes I do really stupid things because I can't believe I can." " That thing with your sister" " Was inexcusable." "No matter what you weighed in high school." "You ruined everything." "[Quietly] I know." "What we had... was really special." "Oh, please!" "What we" "Because of you, I have no idea where my sister is." "I can't reach her." "Her phone's cut off." "She doesn't even know I'm engaged." "My own sister." "My best friend." "And the worst part is, I can't talk to anyone about it." "If I tell my father, he'll get all panicked and mad at me... for not taking better care of her." "And if I tell Simon- I can't tell Simon."

"We were better off without her." "Because she was bossy?" "That doesn't make any sense." "I didn't want to be around that, and I didn't want you around it." " What?" " The judgment." "The blame." " For what?" "What-What'd she blame you for?" " Everything." " What everything?" " Just everything." " Dad!" " For your mother, all right?" "For her death." " She said that?" " She didn't have to." "She wanted her protected all the time." "Drugged." "But Caroline- she didn't want to live that way." "It made her foggy." "She couldn't take it if she was pregnant." "So... we hoped it would be enough- loving each other, loving you and Maggie." "There were so many good days." "We thought it would be okay." "Oh, God." "I'm sorry, Rosie." "I'm so sorry."

"Which was closed, because we got there at 8:00 in the morning." " That's right, and we hung out in the car." " Eating fudge for breakfast." "Mom had heard about Mrs. Fields." "You know, the cookie lady?" "And she figured that her fudge was just as good as those cookies, so" "So she was gonna make a fortune." "When it finally opened, we went in and, oh, God, she was so beautiful." " She was wearing this long, velvety gown." " At 8:00 in the morning?" "Well, by this time it was 10:00." "I guess she talked to some of the store people about the fudge, but I don't remember." "Mmm, she spilled it, all over the jewelry counter." " There was a guy who just kind of looked at her." " I don't remember a guy." "There was a guy, and he looked at her." "Anyway, Mom said that we could each get one present." " And you got" " A Nancy Drew book." "I asked for a puppy."
