Amy : [at dinner table] So, honey, um, guess who I ran into today... Sue, George's mother... do you remember George? You went to science camp with him. He was a smart kid.
Maria : I don't remember.
[just toying with her food]
Amy : Serious George, that's what you called him. Anyway, he remembers you very fondly from science camp. So, I was thinking that maybe...
Maria : No.
Amy : Um, Maria, you don't even know what I was gonna say next.
Maria : Just... don't.
Amy : Fine. If you don't wanna hear the rest of what I was gonna say...
Dan : No, she does. You know your mother's trying to be helpful, right? Right?
Maria : Yes.
Amy : Here is my idea. Just that... You're here and George is here, and you both like each other, so... if Winter Prom is coming up, you could go together.
Maria : I'm not going to the prom.
Amy : Why not?
Maria : Because it's stupid and I don't want any part of it.
Amy : But it's such a beautiful tradition. You're really gonna be missing out. It's your senior year.
Maria : [yells out] Missing out on what?
[utensils clatter into plate as she rises and storms out]
Dan : That went well.
Amy : [sighs] I guess she just needs time to come out of her shell.
Dan : Christ, Amy, she's nearly eighteen.
Amy : Well, she's a late bloomer.
Dan : She has no friends.
Amy : She's friends with Lily.
Dan : Lily's a habit, not a friend. She has no social life. She has no confidence. As far as I'm aware, she's never even had a conversation with a boy. She doesn't...
[gestures at plate]
Dan : touch her food. She weighs less than she did two years ago. Wake up, Amy! Just look at her! Look at her!
[Maria is sitting at the top of the stairs, very upset overhearing all of this]
Dan : We have a screwed-up daughter!
Amy : You're too hard on her. We just need to give her time to blossom.
Dan : Blossom into what?
