Ellyn Warren : Hope, are you okay?
Hope Murdoch Steadman : Oh, sure. I just, you know, it's like having the flu and feeling like you have to throw up all the time, only you never quite get the pleasure of throwing up.
Ellyn Warren : Oh, yeah, I know how you feel. It's kind of like when your father asks you to lunch for the first time in 19 years.
Nancy Krieger Weston : Oh, it's just your father. It's not like you haven't been introduced.
Ellyn Warren : Wanna bet? I don't know. It's like I know him and I don't know him, you know? I mean, when was the last time you talked to your father seriously?
Nancy Krieger Weston : Well, it's been kind of tough since he died.
