Eric: Mom, why are you doing laundry? It's almost midnight.
Kitty: Well, with your dad not working, I had to pick up a double shift at the hospital. It's the only time I have to do it.
Eric: Okay, don't do this.
Kitty: Do what?
Eric: Come down here in the middle of the night doing laundry, looking like hell.
Kitty: Oh, excuse me.
Eric: No, I- I'm just saying, you're trying to make me feel guilty for leaving, and it's not gonna work. I can't stay here. Okay? I have to go off and live my life. I deserve that. Mom, I deserve a chance!
Kitty: Okay, okay. No need to use your squeaky voice. I understand that you have to leave. I have bigger things to worry about than making you feel guilty.
