Philip: Look now, I could ground you forever. I could put bars on your windows, I could put locks on your doors.
Ashley: Daddy-
Philip: Don't "daddy" me. Do you have any idea what you put this family through? Running around doing God knows what with God knows who.
Ashley: If I would have asked you, you wouldn't have let me go.
Philip: You're darn right. You're 15 years old. You have no business at a party with college boys!
Ashley: All my friends were there.
Philip: Your friends don't live here! I can't do this. You talk to your daughter. I'm done. [exits]
Ashley: You guys hate me.
Vivian: Ashley, if that were true, we wouldn't care when you did something foolish like this.
Philip: [returns] What you have to understand is that we know what's best for you. It may not seem like that now, but one day you'll understand that. End of discussion. [exits]
Ashley: Mom, don't you understand?
Vivian: Yes, I understand. I understand you lied and you ran away.
Philip: [returns through another door] And another thing as long as you live in this house, you will follow our rules. That's it! [goes upstairs]
Ashley: Mom.
[Vivian raises her hand as she waits for Uncle Phil to slam the door]
