Melanie Freeland:
Evie, I'm sorry, but I think it's time for you to go home.

Evie Zamora:
I can't go home. Brooke had a convention in Bakersfield. She said she sent you an E-mail.

Melanie Freeland:
I guess I didn't check my E-mail.

Evie Zamora:
I'm sorry, Mel. I hope it's okay that I'm here.

Melanie Freeland:
Well... I guess it's gonna have to be, isn't it?

Evie Zamora:
[starting to cry] Her boyfriend hits me, Mel. He grabbed my throat and he threw me against his van.

Melanie Freeland:
Oh, Jesus. Where's your mother, baby?

Evie Zamora:
She- She passed away.

Melanie Freeland:
I didn't have a mother when I was your age either. I know how hard it is. I do.
