"Well, can't you let him just win this one?"
"I don't understand what you're getting at."
"He's a man, sweetie. Stop questioning his masculinity."
"If he really was a man, he wouldn't care if it was questioned, would he?"
"Oh just shut up and listen, why don't you?"
"Mama, you're telling me to let him walk all over me just because he's a man. And you don't want me to stand up for what I believe in. How does this tie in with everything you've ever taught me?"
"Bruce Johnson is a good man and it'll do you well to remember that, child. And he's from a good family too. A woman can make sacrifices if it means saving a relationship."
"I don't believe this."
"Don't ruin something good because of your pride, Millicent."
