Beverly: Adam, wait. I've given you four hours of bus ride to cool off.
Adam: Trust me, that's not nearly enough.
Beverly: Okay, so maybe it was a mistake for me to force my way on this trip.
Adam: Of course it was! My God, every other parent was fine not to chaperone. Why not you?
Beverly: Adam, when you were little, I was your everything. I'd hold your hand when I'd walk you into school, and you'd cry when I left. Now when you walk through that door in the morning, you're just gone. And when you come home, I get nothing.
Adam: C'mon, I tell you stuff.
Beverly: Please. At best I get a "muh." That's why I write the letters, so I can hear more, hear anything.
Adam: Okay, then. I promise to give you more than a "muh" if you promise to stop with your crazy mom manifestos.
Beverly: Guess I could cut back a little. With you, I still have plenty of hurtful things to say to Barry and Erica.
