Taken Too Far Page #2

- Fine, sorry.

- Well, I guess

somebody doesn't want

that new game console

for their birthday.

- You're kidding right?

- Try me.

- Look Jeanette.

We agreed that when the kids

got older I was gonna cut down

some of my hours at the

firm, well they're older now.

Right and we gotta cut down

on some of these

house hold expenses.

Well do we really need

a full time cook,

nanny, and house keeper?

- Dean I don't care what you

do but when you made partner

we agreed that my cooking

and cleaning were over.

- Okay do you think maybe

you could devote some of your

precious time to, I don't

know, taking care of our kids?

Maybe pick Jason

up after school?

Right now we're getting

crushed paying for Sara's dance

classes and we're getting

killed paying for her tutoring.

Why?

'Cause she's taking

so many dance classes.

Quite frankly

between you and me.

I don't think she's into

it as much as you seem to

think she is.

I think she'd like

to do something else.

- How in the world

would you know?

You're not the one who drives

her to and from every single

day, she loves it.

And Gaby says she has

what it takes to become a

professional someday.

- Yeah, Gabby.

Gaby doesn't have

a vested interest,

I mean she doesn't want

us to keep spending money

on her amateur dance classes.

Look I, I love my kid to bits

but is she gonna win a state

championship, really Jeanette?

I mean that Melanie kid

is already better then her

and they're in

the same class so.

- Wow.

How dare you?

That's really supportive

of your daughter Dean.

And you know what?

Gaby does know talent.

And furthermore she has

contacts in the industry outside

of this podunk town that could

get our daughter launched,

and you also seem to be

forgetting that I have just a

teeny bit of experience

in the business myself.

- Ah that is true,

you did a couple

of big parts 20 years ago.

So fair enough.

If this dancing is as lucrative

as you seem to think it is

then our future's set.

Right, Sara can dance all she

wants, I don't have to lay

anybody off so here's

my line in the sand.

If she wins that

state championship she

can dance as long as

the scholarship lasts but

if she loses that is it.

Kay, there's no more dancing

and she can do whatever her

heart tells her to.

- Her heart tells he to

get out there and dance.

For people who can

actually recognize talent.

So she doesn't die a

meaningless life in suburbia

surrounded by mediocrity.

- Ah, that's what this is.

You know what Jeanette?

When you sober up if that ever

happens we're gonna continue

this, it's not over.

- Stevie?

- Hey Mrs.. G, what's up?

- Can I talk to you?

- Sure.
