CLAUDETTE
Why not? Tell me why.
LISA
He's boring.
CLAUDETTE
Well you've known him for over five years. You're engaged!
You said you loved him. You should reconsider. He supports
you, he provides for you, and you can't support yourself. He
is a good guy and he loves you very much. His income is very
secure and he told me he wants to buy you a home.
LISA
That's why he's boring.
CLAUDETTE
What are you going to do?
LISA
Um, I don't know. I don't mind living with him.

CLAUDETTE
You can't do that. Did you tell Johnny about it?
LISA
No. I don't know what to do.
CLAUDETTE
He's a very nice person and you know he's getting a promotion
soon. He bought you a car, a ring, clothes, whatever you like
and now you want to dump him. It's not right. I've always
thought of him as my son in law. You should marry him. He
would be good for you.
LISA
Oh, I guess you're right about that, mom.
CLAUDETTE
Of course I'm right my dear, I know about men. I was not born
yesterday. I'm glad you listen to your mother. Nobody else
listens to me. I work so hard and nobody appreciates it. I
try to tell them what they should do, but they don't listen.
LISA
I guess I'll try. See you later, mom.
CLAUDETTE
Okay. Take care of yourself, Lisa. Bye.
LISA
Bye mom.
