Elaine Steadman:
What if something really happens to her?

Melissa Steadman:
Then we'll deal with it.

Elaine Steadman:
[stamping out her cigarette] I gotta go. I got six things to get for her. That traffic's gonna be murder.

Melissa Steadman:
[she gets up to leave, stopping at the door to turn back] You know, I was thinking. Maybe you should have taken the store.

Melissa Steadman:
Why?

Elaine Steadman:
Then you could afford to buy another earring.

[the two exchange a sweet smile]

Melissa Steadman:
Mom?

[Elaine Steadman turns back to look at her daughter]

Melissa Steadman:
I love you.

[Elaine nods and heads out. Melissa gets up and removes her coat. She goes over and picks up a paint-roller and begins to paint the huge loading dock door of her loft]
