Quote from Vivian in Bang the Drum, Ashley
Philip: Will, please? I think we've all lost sight of the most important thing here and that is what is best for Ashley. Will: Man, it's not what's best for Ashley. I mean, you're trying to control her. She's 9 years old, and she's got a calendar telling her where she's got to be, what she's gotta do. Philip: Oh, I see, but she doesn't have to worry about that anymore because now you tell her what to do, right? There's only one thing wrong with that, Will. You're not her father. Will: Well, how come you didn't know she doesn't like the violin? Philip: She liked it for a year before you moved in. Can you explain that? Ashley: I never liked it, Daddy. Vivian: That explains it.
