For Better or For Worse Page #2

DIXIE ROSE...

AND ONE FINE LADY,

I MIGHT ADD.

AREN'T THEY ALL?

HONEY, IT'S ALL

PART OF THE JOURNEY.

[CAR HORN HONKS OUTSIDE]

HE'S HERE!

MOM?

COLLIN!

OH, SWEETIE!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

ARE YOU OKAY?

YEAH, I'M FINE.

OH! UH, AND...

WHO'S THIS?

MOM, GRANDPA...

THIS IS SOPHIA.

NICE TO MEET YOU, SOPHIA.

AND YOU.

SO...

I GUESS THIS IS THE SURPRISE.

[LAUGHS]

OH, WELL...

COME ON IN.

I MADE BREAKFAST.

COLLIN, ALL YOUR FAVORITES.

SOPHIA, PLEASE JOIN US.

SOPHIA...

YOU CAN SI RIGHT HERE...

ACTUALLY, MOM...

I'M SORRY, I NEVER GO A CHANCE TO TELL YOU,

BUT I DON'T EAT MEAT.

I'M VEGAN.

YOU'RE WHAT?

WE'RE VEGAN.

WHAT'S THAT?

SOME KIND OF RELIGION?

NO, WE JUST BELIEVE

THAT IT'S HEALTHIER

AND MORE HUMANE.

WE DON'T EAT ANIMALS

OR ANIMAL PRODUCTS.

AS SOPHIA SAYS, NOTHING TASTES

AS GOOD AS BEING VEGAN FEELS.

[LAUGHS]

RIGHT.

WE GOTTA GO.

WE HAVE SOME BUSINESS IN TOWN

THAT WE GOTTA TAKE CARE OF.

I WAS HOPING:

THAT WE COULD DO

FAMILY DINNER:

HERE TONIGHT, THOUGH.

WELL, OF COURSE,

BUT... I'M CONFUSED.

I'LL EXPLAIN IT ALL

TO YOU TONIGHT.

IS IT OKAY:

IF SOPHIA'S FATHER JOINS US?

SURE.

'KAY, BYE.

LOVE YOU.

IT'S GREAT TO FINALLY MEET YOU,

MRS. HAMPTON.

COLLIN HAS TOLD ME

SO MUCH ABOUT YOU.

SEE YOU BOTH TONIGHT!

SEE YOU TONIGHT.

[ROSEANNE]:

DINNER WITH HER FATHER?

THAT SOUNDS SERIOUS.

I DON'T KNOW.

THIS IS:

ALL SO SUDDEN.

AND COLLIN NEVER SHOWED

ANY INTERES IN THIS "HEALTHIER,

MORE HUMANE" STUFF,

AND NOW HE'S VEGAN?

WHAT IS THAT ABOUT?

I DON'T KNOW,

BUT I'M NOT BUYING IT.

[LAUGHS]

OOH...

I KNOW HE'S THE MORTAL ENEMY,

I KNOW,

BUT WHOO!

HE IS GORGEOUS.

AND YOU ARE:

HAPPILY MARRIED.

MM-HMM,

BUT NO HARM IN DREAMING.

I JUST DON'T KNOW WHY COLLIN

WOULDN'T HAVE SIMPLY CALLED ME

AND TOLD ME ABOU A NEW GIRLFRIEND

RATHER THAN JUST SHOW UP

WITH THIS... THIS SOPHIA...

AND WHAT DO WE KNOW

ABOUT THIS SOPHIA?

NOTHING.

THAT'S THE POINT.

[WOMAN]:
IF HE WANTS A FIGHT,

I'LL GIVE HIM A FIGHT!

YOU KNOW WHAT?

YOU-- YOU WILL GIVE HIM A FIGHT.

HEY, THE McDOUGALS,

THEY BOOKED THEIR APPOINTMENT.

WHO?

THE McDOUGALS!

WHAT IS GOING ON OVER THERE?

[CLIENT]:
YOU KNOW HOW

HARD I HAVE TO WORK?

THEY CAN'T BE YELLING

LIKE THAT.

I CAN'T EVEN HEAR MYSELF THINK!

MAYBE THIS DIVORCE

ISN'T SO AMICABLE?

I WORKED AND WORKED AND WORKED!

ALL OF THE THINGS I DID

FOR HIM,

AND ALL THE STUPID PARTIES

I THREW FOR HIM...

COULD THIS DAY:

GET ANY WORSE?

[CLIENT, SCREAMING]:

IT'S NOT FINE! IT'S NOT FINE!

[DOORBELL RINGS]

HEY, BABY.

HI!

WHERE'S YOUR DAD?

HE'S COMING

RIGHT BEHIND ME.

HI, MRS. HAMPTON.

THIS IS FOR YOU.

IT'S JUST A LITTLE DESSER I MADE.

[COLLIN]:
YOUR VEGAN

PROFITEROLES!

THAT'S MY FAVORITE.
