Ann Butterfield : What's that look?
Hugh Butterfield : David's here! I just caught them bare-assed in her room!
Ann Butterfield : [laid back] My God! I thought it was something awful.
[sighs]
Ann Butterfield : You were meant to catch them, I'm sure.
Hugh Butterfield : [fuming] She didn't even bat an eyelash.
Ann Butterfield : [scoffs] You didn't raise her to be a hypocrite.
[pulls curtain over doorway for privacy]
Ann Butterfield : You know he's been staying over, don't you?
[gets surprised look]
Ann Butterfield : Yes, he hides in the house till they think we're asleep. And of course he scuttles away at dawn. They're rather sweet. Like bats.
[smiles, imitating bats flying off]
Hugh Butterfield : [shaking head in dismay] I do not know what to do about this.
Ann Butterfield : [ironic] I am so happy to hear you say that. You are always so definite with the children. Let's all be open about sex.
[elementary gesture]
Ann Butterfield : Well, they certainly got the idea. They feel free to express love. It's worth all those awful frank discussions at the dining room table.
Hugh Butterfield : [rising] We're not talking about morality.
Ann Butterfield : I'm - -
[interrupted]
Hugh Butterfield : This boy thinks he can come in here-...
Ann Butterfield : [insisting] They believed everything that we said. Imagine.
Hugh Butterfield : A girl like that doesn't have to take the first guy who comes along.
Ann Butterfield : Oh, I didn't realize we were saving her for somebody special.
Hugh Butterfield : Oh...
Ann Butterfield : Are we saving her for someone rich?
Hugh Butterfield : God damn it! That's not fair! The girl is fifteen years old! Now when is she gonna study, when is she gonna sleep?
Ann Butterfield : Come on. You're the one that's always saying she's sleeping too much. I know it's difficult, but aren't you happy that she has someone? That someone finally had the courage to wake up Sleeping Beauty?
[Disgruntled, Hugh takes a swig of orange juice]
Ann Butterfield : It had to happen, sooner or later.
[Hugh mulls over, frowns, sighs deeply]

Hugh Butterfield : [sternly] David. I don't want you to go into the house.
David Axelrod : [looking back at him] Why? What's the matter?
Hugh Butterfield : [continues cleaning his car] You and Jade won't be seeing each other for a while.
David Axelrod : [incredulously] What?
Hugh Butterfield : You heard what I said. This thing's gotten totally out of control. I made a mistake giving you so much freedom around here. Now Jade's fallen behind in her schoolwork, she can't sleep at night.
David Axelrod : Just a second. I mean, Jade didn't say anything to me about this.
Hugh Butterfield : Well, I'm telling you. I want you to stay away until after school is out. Thirty days.
David Axelrod : You can't do this...!
Hugh Butterfield : Don't you tell me what I can do and can't do. Jade is my daughter. She's only fifteen years old.
[snorts, walks away carrying two pails of water]
Hugh Butterfield : After thirty days, we'll take another look at the situation. Do you understand?
David Axelrod : Is she in there?
Hugh Butterfield : [warning tone] Don't you go in that house.
David Axelrod : I'm going to talk to Jade.
[Ann appears in the doorway]
Hugh Butterfield : [snarls at David] You get the hell outta here!

Hugh Butterfield : [finds Jade with a pill bottle] What are you doing? Give me that!
Jade Butterfield : No! No!
Hugh Butterfield : Give me that! Open your hand, damn it! Jesus Christ, I don't believe this!
Jade Butterfield : [whining] I can't sleep.
Hugh Butterfield : You don't fool around with these things!
Jade Butterfield : [whining louder] I can't sleep!
Hugh Butterfield : Neither can anybody else in this house!
Ann Butterfield : [Jade sobs, she comes running in] Hugh, for heaven's sake!
Hugh Butterfield : She comes in here, and helps herself to these pills.
Jade Butterfield : I needed something to sleep!
Hugh Butterfield : You don't help yourself to pills like this!
Ann Butterfield : Why don't you lock the cabinet?
[hands in hair]
Ann Butterfield : It's too early for all this shouting. Let her have a pill.
Hugh Butterfield : Stay the hell out of this!
[pushing Ann back]
Hugh Butterfield : I'm the doctor here and I don't want her to have these!
Jade Butterfield : [crying] Then give me something else!
Hugh Butterfield : You bring your goddamn boyfriend in here, you keep everybody else awake, I'm fed up with it!
[slams his fist]
Sammy Butterfield : [from upstairs] I can't sleep with all this racket going on!
[Keith also comes down the stairs, glaring down]
Hugh Butterfield : I will not have this family torn apart! David can not stay here!
Jade Butterfield : [tearfully] Yes, he can! It is my room! We are not a couple of little kids!
Hugh Butterfield : He doesn't give a damn about you! All he cares about is his own satisfaction! I don't want him in your room, I don't want him in this house!
Ann Butterfield : Stop it!
Jade Butterfield : [wailing, to Hugh] You're just jealous, you're jealous of us!
Ann Butterfield : Baby, calm down!
Jade Butterfield : [accusing Hugh] You're such a hypocrite! You say one thing to David, you say something else to me! You change your mind from one minute to the next!
