Quote from Tim in Much Ado About Nana
Lillian: Well, all right, but if you and Jill are having problems... Tim: It's not between me and Jill. It's between you and Jill. Lillian: What are you talking about? Tim: She doesn't want the tea set, she wants the clock. Lillian: The clock? Tim: Yeah. Lillian: Well, why didn't she just tell me? Tim: Well, I just don't know. It's a mother-daughter emotional separation thing, or something. I came from a family of all guys. We were very clear about our emotional separations. I hit my brother, I laugh, he cries. Lillian: What? Tim: I can't explain it. You gotta read the book Hey, Mother, I'm Selfish.
