I sort of missed my psychedelic drug window. I was too busy raising my girls.
Bonnie
Adam: So this is what you looked like on your wedding day?
Bonnie: No. I wore my mother's gray, wool dress. It hid the bump that would eventually become Becca.
est Leader: Are you a football fan?
Kathleen: I am. Even when he and my brother would go to a game, I'd still sit in front of the TV and watch.
est Leader: Did he ever take you to a game?
Kathleen: Oh. No. But he only had two tickets.
est Leader: Didn't you ever think one of them could have been for you?
Bonnie: Why? Are you intimidated by intelligent young women? You know, Jerry, I see you. You're just a dark, rainy storm cloud hovering over a beautiful tree, and you try to scare everyone with your thunder and your lightning, but you know what? My daughter can take anything you rain down on her because she's that tree. She's a goddamned redwood.
Steve: Yeah! You're goddamned right she is!
est Leader: If I asked your daddy to describe you right now, what would he say?
Kathleen: Kathleen is my sweet little angel.
est Leader: And if I asked him to describe your brother?
Kathleen: Timmy is strong, and smart, and capable.
est Leader: Did your father ever say you were smart and strong and capable?
Kathleen: Well, he's very proud of my accomplishments. He's always supported my dreams.
est Leader: How?
Kathleen: He bought me a car for my 16th birthday. He gave me money to move out to California. He gave me money to open my casting office.
est Leader: Has he ever supported you in a way that doesn't involve money?
So you bounced from man to man desperately seeking what your father never gave you, but you're better than that, Kathleen.
est Leader
Steve: You know, Becca's not the only redwood in the family.
Bonnie: I think you should go, Steve.
Steve: You know, I never got to see you in a wedding dress.
Bonnie: Goodnight, Steve.
