Haley: Mom? You okay?
Claire: Yes. Fine. I'm good. I'm fine. I'm not fine. I wanted to win, and- And I'm so embarrassed. I mean, everybody out here worked so hard for me, and they believed in me, and I let 'em down. [Haley hugs Claire and starts to sob] Oh, honey. Oh, sweetheart. Well, don't cry. I'm gonna be fine, sweetie. Really, I am. Just knowing you care so much makes me feel better.
Haley: No, I got four rejection letters I never told you guys about.
Claire: What?
Haley: I got rejected from U.C.S.B., Oregon, Wisconsin-
Claire: Oh, no.
Haley: And Northwestern.
Claire: Well, we were overshooting on that one. What about, uh-
Haley: It came today. My last chance. I'm too scared to open it.
Claire: Whatever it says in there, your father and I are crazy proud of you. Okay?
Haley: I did start trying this year.
Claire: I know you did. You did. You have nothing to be ashamed of.
Haley: Neither do you.
Claire: It's a little bit different.
Haley: No, it's exactly the same. Except you tried really hard the whole time, not just at the end.
Claire: You're right. It is the same.
