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?
UPTOWN GIRLS (2003), dir. Boaz Yakin
"So I packed my knapsack, got on the train, and looked up at the map and decided I wanted to live in Coney Island. I thought it was gonna be... you know... a real island. That I could hide away there like Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. Well, imagine my surprise. The teacups was the only ride they'd let me on by myself, so I got on it and I started spinning myself around and 'round and 'round. But I feel like I'm still there... spinning 'round and 'round and 'round, and the ride won't stop... and I won't dare get off."
