• 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?
