Ashley:
Last night I felt contractions and the doctor says that the baby could come any day now.

Emma:
That's great.

Ashley:
It's just that when the baby comes, no one thinks that I can do this. No one thinks that I can do anything. Maybe they're right.

Emma:
Screw 'em.

Ashley:
What?

Emma:
Screw. Them. How old are you?

Ashley:
Nineteen.

Emma:
I was eighteen.

Ashley:
When - when you had a kid?

Emma:
Yeah. I know what it's like when others tell you what you can and can't do, especially when you're a kid. But ultimately, whatever you're considering doing or giving up, the choice is yours.

Ashley:
It's not exactly how you think it is.

Emma:
It never is. People are going to tell you who you are your whole life, but you've just got to punch back and say, "No, this is who I am." If you want people to look at you differently, make them. If you want to change things you are going to have to go out there and change them yourself, because there are no fairy godmothers in this world.
