Debbie Wilson:
I can't believe this. Suspended on your senior year!

Annie Wilson:
I know. It's only for three days.

Debbie Wilson:
How do you think colleges are going to respond to this?

Annie Wilson:
I don't know. Not well?

Debbie Wilson:
Yeah, well "not well" is right. I don't get it. Why would you do something like this? Assault another student? Emily of all people?

Annie Wilson:
Mom, it's not my fault. Emily just...

Debbie Wilson:
[cutting her off] Emily what? Emily what!

[Annie looks right at Debbie and finally sees that there is no getting through to her, or anyone else, about Emily's deviousness]

Annie Wilson:
[slumps back in her chair; now lying] Nothing. Emily... nothing. It was all my fault. Emily had nothing to do with this.

Debbie Wilson:
[sighs] Good. I'm glad you told the truth for once. Accepting responsibily insteading of passing it on poor Emily. Annie, I haven't got the time to talk to you about this. Whatever's bothering you or whatever you're going through... deal with it!

[Debbie walks out as Annie continues sitting alone at the kitchen table as she raises her hands up to the table, which are now clenched fists]

Annie Wilson:
[quietly to herself; angry tone] Oh... I will.
