Adam: You switched my guidance counselor?
Beverly: Only because he wasn't telling you what I wanted you to hear.
Adam: Oh, then why didn't you just tell me? Instead, I got caught up in some kind of ward triangle.
Beverly: I was just trying to be supportive.
Adam: No, you weren't. You just wanted me to think you were supportive. You were trying to control me.
Beverly: Okay, fine. But you are making a huge mistake. You won't have a good future if you don't go to college, and you can't do that if you don't try to raise your score.
Adam: I did try, and I still blew it. At least you supporting me made me feel it wasn't the end of the world, but that was all a lie.
