| INT. HALLWAY SUSAN: "Carol Solomonde--you had to fuck a friend of mine, someone I see at school every day, and then mock her in the morning, never call her, never return her calls. You had to put me in that position. You're priceless, Dad." BEN: "Hold hold hold. Hold on here." SUSAN: "I just dropped Scotty at Sean's house for a playdate--that's Carol's son. When I get there, she stops me and tells me the story, says her nanny is gonna bring Sean to the next playdate because it's just too awkward otherwise." BEN: "What does she expect, that I should pin her, take her to the prom? Just tell her to grow up." SUSAN: "It's not what she expects. It's what I expect." BEN: "You expect that I should be chaste, never have any sex now that I divorced your mother?" SUSAN: "I expect you to not fuck my friends." BEN: "Pumpkin, come on, come on inside. (they walk inside) You're not a kid anymore. You have to realize you can't change your daddy." ....... |
