Vy Quote #26

Quote from Vy in Vying for Attention

Vy: William, you have ruined what was supposed to be a very special evening.
Will: Yeah, well, you ruined what was supposed to be a very special visit. I mean, it ain't like I get to see you all the time. Why you have to bring them, anyway?
Vy: I brought them because they're important to me and I wanted them to meet the most important person in my life.
Will: Mom, did you ever think about what I wanted? I mean, "Robert's my man. Claudia's so adorable." You went off and started a whole new family without me.
Vy: Baby, don't you know there is no family without you? Nobody can take your place. I'm your mother. But I'm human, honey, I have needs, too. Do you expect me to be alone forever?
Will: Yeah. I mean, you done good this far.
Vy: I think you're being very immature.
Will: Am not. You're the only parent I got, and I don't want to share you.
Vy: Well, I'm sorry, baby, that is not your decision. Will, listen, I am not with Robert because he makes you feel bad. I'm with him because he makes me feel good. You're my son, baby. I love you, I care about you but I have got to live my own life. Now, you can ruin what's left of this trip, or you can make it work. It's up to you. But, that's all that's up to you.

Quote from Vy

Vy: He's just hard-headed! I don't know where he gets it from.
Vivian: I do: He gets it from you. I am the understanding sister. Helen is the loud one, Janice is the flighty one and you are the hard-headed one.
Vy: I thought I was the sweet one.
Vivian: You said you were the sweet one. When we tried to tell you you weren't you wouldn't listen because you're too hard-headed.
Carlton: As much as I enjoy these wonderful walks down memory lane, I'm pooped. I'm going to bed.
Vivian: Look, why don't we try to enjoy what's left of dinner?
Vy: Wait a minute. How can you eat at a time like this? Vivian, I can't get this out of my mind. How can you say that I am hard-headed?
Vivian: Gee, Vy, I don't know where I could have gotten that idea.

Quote from Hilary
