[Joe finds Gracie sobbing in bed]

Joe Yoo:
What happened?

Gracie:
[sniffling] Joyce in Mercer called and cancelled her order, and all future orders.

Joe Yoo:
[sighs] I'm sorry.

Gracie:
And I told her that I'd already made it, and she said that she would pay for it, but that she didn't need it. They were leaving town.

Joe Yoo:
Where are they going?

Gracie:
Her sister is sick or something. [angrily] It doesn't matter. I wasted hours that I could have used.

Joe Yoo:
You couldn't have known, Gracie.

Gracie:
[sniffles] I just... I hate things like that. [sobbing] And now I have this cake that's going to go right in the garbage.

Joe Yoo:
You don't have to throw it in the garbage.

[Gracie sobs as Joe comforts her]
