A grunt of acknowledgement might be nice. I don't understand why we're going to dinner tomorrow night. What if I had plans? You didn't even ask me. If you had plans, I would've known. How? You would have told me. I don't tell you everything. I have my own things. Fine, you have things. That's right. I have things. Hey, I had dibs on being the bitch tonight. Just tonight? What's wrong with you? I'm not sure I want to go to Chilton. What? The timing is just really bad. The timing is bad? Bus ride to and from Hartford, it's like 30 minutes each way. I can't believe what I'm hearing. Plus, I don't think we should be spending that money right now. I mean, I know Chilton's got to be costing you a lot. Oh, you have no idea. Use that money towards buying an inn with Sookie. What about college? How about Harvard? We don't know that I can't get into Harvard if I stay where I am. Okay, enough. Enough of the crazy talk, okay? I appreciate your concern but I have this covered. - I still don't want to go. - Why? Because I don't. I have to get out of here. We have to pay first.
