Kitty: Oh, Laurie, you can't bring Michael to dinner. Are you out of your mind?
Laurie: Mom, I'm an adult, and this is my choice.
Kitty: No. If you were really an adult, you'd try to meet someone with a future instead of Michael, who, bless his heart, is probably gonna end up ripping tickets at the Tilt-A-Whirl.
Laurie: Well, he could invent something. [off Kitty's look] Yeah. I guess I'm lazy.
Kitty: Uh-huh. And, Laurie, have you given any thought as to what you're gonna say to your father when he finds out?
Laurie: "He's my boyfriend, Daddy, and we love each other, and you can't stop us from being together!" What do you think?
Kitty: Laurie, I absolutely forbid you to bring that boy to dinner.
Laurie: Oh, sometimes I hate you! [storms off]
Kitty: Well, that is just too bad, because I love you! Because I have to.
