Because I Said So Page #2
think that I would ever enjoy this?
No, it was not. It was so you.
Just you wait.
No.
Hi, babe.
Okay.
It's not sad sobbing. I
promise, Mom, I'm fine, I'm fine.
It's just the pressure point
reflex thing.
Pardon?
What kind of oil
would you like?
Oh, wakana oh yulike
to you too.
Mom.
What? It's a greeting.
Hey, wait. What are you...
What are you...
What are you doing here now?
Hey, that's the head. That's...
Soft to hard. Soft to hard.
God damn it.
Oh, my God.
Girls, she's not back
with Rafferty, is she?
She doesn't want to
talk about it, Mom.
I knew it. I thought we got rid of that
pathologically ambivalent narcissist
three years ago when he almost
stood you up at Mae's wedding.
Well, you know what, Mom?
He's never gonna
stand me up again
because he's been sleeping
with my ex-boyfriend.
Oh, my God.
Oh, God.
I could kill him.
Oh, God.
You deserve somebody
who wants you,
somebody who's as good
and as kind as you are.
Why do you always
have to put me down?
I'm not putting you...
Yes, you are.
Love is supposed to make you
feel good about yourself.
You shouldn't have to
settle for crumbs.
Okay, okay. I know.
I'm an idiot, okay?
I'm done. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. No, no. No.
All right. You're the
psychologist in the family.
What do you think we should do
about your sister?
I swear, with men,
she's like psychotic flypaper.
They're either gay, married,
unavailable or out of their minds.
No, Mom, you have to leave her alone.
You have to quit making her so insecure.
She had the least
amount of time with Dad
who wasn't exactly
a great male role model.
And stop being a helicopter,
Mom, you're hovering.
You're right, you're right.
I'm gonna back off,
I'm gonna give her some space
to sort things out for herself.
Good.
Yeah.
If only I could choose
for her.
No.
No. That is so...
That is so
Fiddler on the Roof.
Your parents
didn't choose for you.
Yeah, but maybe
they should have.
You know what I think?
I think you're fixating on her
to avoid dealing with this very
big birthday you have coming up.
I am not fixating on her.
Is it crazy for me
to want her to have
one healthy relationship
in her life?
I mean, come on,
if she keeps up this pattern
of wrong choice
after wrong choice...
I mean, okay, one thing
when you're in your 20s,
but 20 years later,
it's not so pretty.
Maggie?
I don't...
I don't want her to end up
alone.
You know what I realize?
I give up the search. I don't
need anybody. I mean, look at Mom.
She's been single most of her adult
life and she's lived a great life.
So you know what? I'm going
to be just like you, Mom.
