David: No, it won't be!

Ruthie walks down the stairs in a tight shirt and a skirt with way too much make-up.

Ruthie: How do I look?

Annie: You look like you were at a celebrity's garage sale!

Ruthie: Mom!

Annie: Take off the make-up and change.

Ruthie stands still.

Annie: Now!

Ruthie runs upstairs to change.

Annie: Boys, Ruthie has to be ready in 3 minutes or she'll miss the bus.

Kevin: I was in a hurry to get to work and I didn't have time to call me.

Lucy tries to hold back tears.

Lucy: I can't believe you! You care about work more than talking to your wife for 1 minute! I don't want to talk to you ever again!

Lucy starts crying very hard.

Kevin: I'm sorry, Luce. Let me explain-

Lucy: No. You really don't care about me.

Kevin: I do care about you. I love you. I love you more than anyone.
