Ann Butterfield:
What's that look?
Hugh Butterfield:
David's here! I just caught them bare-assed in her room!
Ann Butterfield:
[laid back]
My God! I thought it was something awful.
[sighs]
Ann Butterfield:
You were meant to catch them, I'm sure.
Hugh Butterfield:
[fuming]
She didn't even bat an eyelash.
Ann Butterfield:
[scoffs]
You didn't raise her to be a hypocrite.
[pulls curtain over doorway for privacy]
Ann Butterfield:
You know he's been staying over, don't you?
[gets surprised look]
Ann Butterfield:
Yes, he hides in the house till they think we're asleep. And of course he scuttles away at dawn. They're rather sweet. Like bats.
[smiles, imitating bats flying off]
Hugh Butterfield:
[shaking head in dismay]
I do not know what to do about this.
Ann Butterfield:
[ironic]
I am so happy to hear you say that. You are always so definite with the children. Let's all be open about sex.

Hugh Butterfield:

Ann Butterfield:
[insisting]

Hugh Butterfield:
A girl like that doesn't have to take the first guy who comes along.
Ann Butterfield:
Oh, I didn't realize we were saving her for somebody special.
Hugh Butterfield:
Oh...
Ann Butterfield:
Are we saving her for someone rich?
Hugh Butterfield:
God damn it! That's not fair! The girl is fifteen years old! Now when is she gonna study, when is she gonna sleep?
Ann Butterfield:
Come on. You're the one that's always saying she's sleeping too much. I know it's difficult, but aren't you happy that she has someone? That someone finally had the courage to wake up Sleeping Beauty?
[Disgruntled, Hugh takes a swig of orange juice]
Ann Butterfield:
It had to happen, sooner or later.
[Hugh mulls over, frowns, sighs deeply]
