JENNIFER (CONT’D)

So, any one left in the neighborhood

from the old days?

"Epidode Title" 17. 17.

MAGGIE:

Let’s see. Seth Dorfman is living in

his Mom’s garage--has it fixed up real

cute. He runs his own computer repair

business and he’s still single.

JENNIFER:

It’s like something out of a fairy

tale.

MAGGIE:

Oh, and I ran into your old friend Dina

Simac at the grocery store last week.

JENNIFER:

(BRIGHTENING) Dina?!

MAGGIE:

I asked her over for dinner.

JENNIFER:

Awesome! I love Dina. We have that

kind of relationship where, no matter

how long it’s been, we can just pick

it up again without missing a beat.

MAGGIE:

She doesn’t want to see you.

JENNIFER:

What? Why?

MAGGIE:

I’m not sure.

JENNIFER IS CRESTFALLEN.

"Epidode Title" 18. 18.

MAGGIE (CONT’D)

Are you okay, honey?

SHE STARTS TO REACH FOR HER DAUGHTER’S FACE.

JENNIFER:

Mom, don’t grab my face. Do not grab

my face. You know I don’t like it

when you grab my face.

SHE GRABS HER FACE.

JENNIFER (CONT’D)

Mom!

MAGGIE:

You’re angry.

JENNIFER:

Yes! Because you grabbed my face.

MAGGIE:

Jen-Jen, talk to Mommy. What’s going

on?

JENNIFER:

Let go! It drives me crazy when you

infantilize me.

MAGGIE:

(LETS GO) Oh, please. You’re my baby

girl and you always will be. If you

want to call that infantilizing...

"Epidode Title" 19. 19.

JENNIFER:

Everyone calls that infantilizing.

It’s what infantilizing is. (CALLING

OUT) Gretchen, breakfast!

JENNIFER GOES INTO THE LIVING ROOM.

LIVING ROOM:

JENNIFER RETURNS TO FIND GRETCHEN STILL ON THE COMPUTER.

JENNIFER:

You’re not still on that creepy

memoriam page, are you?

GRETCHEN:

No. I found this awesome e-funeral site.

It’s a cyber funeral your friends and

family can click on and “attend.” I can

pick my own music and flowers and write

my own eulogy. See, I even get to design

my own avatar priest.

JENNIFER:

Is that Johnny Depp?

GRETCHEN:

Yes! Captain Jack Sparrow is saying

my funeral mass. What do you think of

the Twilight coffin? I know it’s a

little douchey but-

"Epidode Title" 20. 20.

JENNIFER:

You’re not having an e-funeral. Come

and eat or you’ll be late for school.

GRETCHEN:

I hate public school. I hate my life.

It’s not fair. None of my friends’

parents lost everything!

JENNIFER:

Good. My plan succeeded. I destroyed

your life.

GRETCHEN:

And now you’re ruining my funeral!

JENNIFER:

Let’s go.

GRETCHEN:

Fine. (OFF COMPUTER) Oh, hey, check

it out. Maroon 5 are my pallbearers.
