Matt: Girls, let me go in for just a quick moment alone first. I'll be right out. You were gonna ask for a divorce so you could be with some fucking fuckhead, Brian Speer? Are you kidding me? Who are you? The only thing I know for sure is you're a goddamn liar¹. So, what do you have to say for yourself? Why don't you go ahead and make a little joke and tell me that I got it all wrong? Tell me again that I'm too out of touch with my feelings and I need to go to therapy. Isn't the idea of marriage to make your partner's way in life a little easier? For me, it was always harder with you, and you're still making it harder. Lying there on a ventilator and fucking up my life. You are relentless². You know what? I was gonna ask you for a divorce someday. Daddy's little girl. I'm gonna bring your daughters in now. Alex is home from school. Try to be nice, okay? All right, here we go. Okay?

 

Scottie: Hi, Mom. Look who's here. Say something, Alex. Tell her how you were drunk the other night. Tell her how maybe you're an alcoholic³.

 

Matt: Girls, be serious.

 

Alex: Hi, Mom. Sorry for being bad. Sorry for wasting your money on expensive private schools. Money you could have been using on facials and massages⁴ and sports equipment. Sorry for everything.

 

Matt: All right.

 

Alex: I'm sorry we weren't good enough for you, especially Dad.

 

Matt: Stop it. That's out of line.

 

Alex: Or what? You gonna ground me? You gonna ship me off to another boarding school? You gonna give me a time-out?

 

Matt: I'll tell you what, goddamn it.

 

Scottie: You got served.

 

Matt: Scottie, go in the hall.

 

Scottie: She's the one out of line.

 

Matt: Go find Sid.

 

Scottie: He's smoking. I shouldn't be around second-hand⁵ smoke.

 

Matt: Go, let's go. Now, now, now, go.

 

Alex: Did you spank⁶ me?

 

Matt: You have no right to talk to your mother that way. She's gonna die in a few days. What if those were your last words?

 

Alex: I have every right to speak to her that way. I'm angry at her. How can you be so forgiving?

 

Matt: I'll be angry later. Right now let's just think about the good parts. Don't say that stuff in front of your sister. Don't spoil her for Scottie. Say something different.

 

Alex: Look, Mom, I know that we fought a lot. I just I always wanted to be like you. I am like you. I'm exactly like you.

 

Matt: You are like her. Mostly in good ways. Maybe some bad ways. Remains⁷ to be seen.
