Neal When I'm not ready, you hunt me down. When I try and make it work, you're not interested.
Molly Gunn You know, ever since we met, it's about what I'm doing wrong... but I'm not the one with the problem here, Neal. You are, you and your selfishness. All you do is take and - I've got nothing for you right now, so... maybe it's time to start thinking about someone other than yourself. 'Till then...

Molly Gunn The last time I saw my mom and dad, I was eight going on nine... eight years, six months, and three days... almost as old as you are. They were going on tour and leaving me behind for the first time, because they didn't want me missing any more school, and they came to my room to say goodbye and I wouldn't open the door, so they left. I fell asleep and then the next thing I know, my nanny was waking me up in the middle of the night telling me their plane had crashed.
Lorraine Schleine You're lucky... that you were mad. See, when you're mad you don't miss people and if you stay mad, it's like you never knew them at all... that way you don't have to feel sucky about it... You were lucky...
Molly Gunn I wasn't mad, I was confused... everyone was talking, talking, talking at me and I couldn't understand a word they were saying, and then their voices became a blur and soon I couldn't even recognize their faces; they were like these blobs and they started to grow fangs and their eyes became green and I knew I had to run away. So I packed my knapsack, got on the train, and looked up at the map and decided I wanted to live on Coney Island. I thought it would be... you know... a real island. That I thought I could hide there like Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Fin, but imagine my surprise... The teacups were the only ride they would let me on by myself, so I got on it and I started spinning around and 'round and 'round. But I feel like I am still there... spinning 'round and 'round and 'round... and the ride won't stop... You were right, Ray, I am scared. But you're scared too. You're scared as I am and I thought that maybe if we could go together...

Molly Gunn Excuse me, Thumbelina, but you're still a little underage to be clubbing, aren't you?

[Ray is hitting a classmate and shouting]
Ray Take it back.
Molly Gunn What are you doing?
[Molly breaks the girls apart and takes Ray away]
Molly Gunn Have you gone mad? There is never, ever an excuse for hitting another person. What is going on?

Molly Gunn I'm so sorry, Mrs Schleine.
Roma Schleine Thanks for coming, Miss Gunn.
Molly Gunn Are you kidding? Nothing could keep me away at a time like this.
Roma Schleine [she places a check in front of Molly] Last week's pay and a month's severance.
Molly Gunn Severance?
Roma Schleine We're letting you go.
Roma Schleine That's right. Me and Ray. We. Goodnight, Miss Gunn.
Molly Gunn I'm sorry, but I'm not leaving without an explanation.
Roma Schleine I don't know what's been going on between you and my daughter, but she has made it clear that she never wants to see you again.
Molly Gunn She must be going out of her mind with grief.
Roma Schleine Actually, she's taking it rather well. I was at my afternoon staff meeting when I got the news about my husband. I came home to find Ray doing her homework. She's been very calm and level-headed about this whole affair.
Molly Gunn You call that taking it well? Do you know what étage your daughter's at in ballet, Mrs Schleine? Or that she was banned from her science class for stealing a formaldehyde pig so she could give it a proper burial on central park? And the tea set you got her - it's exquisite and beautiful, but do you know how she likes to have her tea, how many lumps - one lump, two - cream, sugar?
Roma Schleine And the point of your little tirade is...
Molly Gunn That you're right. You don't know what goes on between me and Ray because you don't know very much about your own daughter.
Roma Schleine I know my daughter well enough to respect her wishes.
Molly Gunn You don't give her respect. You give her whatever she asks for so that you don't have to deal wit her. She's eight years old.
[tears her check]
Molly Gunn She is not 28. Please remember that the next time you show her some respect.
[storms out]
