Because I Said So Page #6

Synopsis: Daphne Wilder is a mother whose love knows no bounds or boundaries. She is the proud mom of three daughters: stable psychologist Maggie, sexy and irreverent Mae and insecure, adorable Milly - who, when it comes to men, is like psychotic flypaper. In order to prevent her youngest from making the same mistakes she did, Daphne decides to set Milly up with the perfect man. Little does Milly know, however, that her mom placed an ad in the on-line personals to find him. Comic mayhem unfolds as Daphne continues to do the wrong thing for the right reasons...all in the name of love. In a battle of strong wills, the mother-daughter dynamic is tested in all its fierce, wacky complexity. The girls help Daphne finally discover the truths and impossibilities of motherly love, all while trying to answer the questions: where does it begin and where should it end?

and just shift everything over

so it frames the temple doors.

Thank you.

Yeah. That's the perfect spot.

So, you like the building?

I actually think

it's a little cold.

I'm Jason Grant.

I'm the architect.

Milly. Nice to meet you.

Come on, Mom.

Pick up the phone.

Oh, Daphne. Here we go. Hello.

Oh, Mom, hi, it's me.

I have to tell you the

most amazing thing happened.

This guy at work

asked me out.

He did?

Yes, he's so cute.

Mom, he's an architect. We're

gonna go out Saturday night.

Oh, you are? I'm just so

excited. I'm so excited.

Milly, well, that is really great,

sweetie. That is so darn great.

It's great, right?

Mom, he's so cute, I can't even

believe that it's happening to me.

And he loved the polka dots.

Thank you.

Oh, yeah?

Thank you Mom. Yes.

Well, honey, it's just,

I guess, dumb luck.

You're the best. I love you.

Okay.

Bye.

Bye.

Coop, come on!

Yep.

Hello, Jason, this is Bond.

James Bond. Call me.

I'm hearing rave reviews.

All right, I just pulled up.

I'm walking in.

It's okay. Don't worry.

I'm here, I'm here.

Sorry, sorry.

No, no, they're not angry.

They're not... Hold on. Sorry.

They're just... They're

probably hungry or something.

Feed them the spring rolls

from the Adams wedding

and the sauce

from the Levy wedding.

All right, I'm walking in.

Okay, bye.

There's a lot of static

out there.

You can say that again.

There's a lot of static

out there.

You know it's caused by a

lack of humidity in the air

that causes an imbalance of the

positive and negative charges.

You know, ice cream is known to cut

the static cling in 98% of most cases.

I love ice cream,

but I'm really late to work.

And I'm so sorry.

Nice tattoo, though.

What flavor?

Why don't you get me

your favorite?

Why don't I get your favorite?

Okay.

I'll have the Fudgsicle.

Oh, no, no. The Dreamsicle.

Wait. Is that

the tall rainbow one

that's really embarrassing to

eat, but it's really, really good?

Okay. Never mind.

I will have the Dreamsicly one

that has the green wrapper

with the Japanese writing

on it.

Thank you.

I'm really beginning to feel like

I'm never going to meet anyone

and it's making me

feel hopeless.

Well, as I've said before, Stuart,

Sheila was a huge loss, but that was 1993.

Oh, it's still so fresh.

This makes me feel like

when I was in the 2nd grade,

and I walked around with a booger in

my nose all day and nobody told me.

Why didn't they tell me?

Well, more to the point, why didn't

Sheila tell you she was unhappy?

Oh, God, this is making me

feel nauseous.

Maybe I should change

my appointment time

from Thursdays at 3:00

to Mondays at 1:
00.
