Quote from Phil in Suddenly, Last Summer
Phil: Hey, princess. Second breakfast? Fun. So, big beach trip coming up, huh? Haley: Yeah. Phil: Can't get better than late July, unless it's early Aug- Haley: Save it, dad. I know you and mom want the house to yourselves. Phil: Nope. Haley: I'm the last piece of the puzzle, right? What's it worth to you? Phil: Fine. How about I pay for gas and two dinners? Haley: Mnh-mnh. Gas, all dinners, groceries, two new bathing suits, a boogie board, one of those- Phil: Are you crazy? Haley: No. I'm also not done. Phil: Yes, you are done. You know why? You know another way this shakes out? You don't go. That's right. Overplay your hand, I pull the plug, you blow your last chance for a good time with your friends. Word gets out that you're not cool. Then school starts. You end up with your nose in a book all year. No friends, no dates, not caring how you look. Is that who you want to be?
