(CHUCKLES)
Will you two slow down?
You're eating like they're going to take it away from you.
(MUFFLED) I'm a growing girl.
(CHUCKLING)
It's such a pleasure seeing you and seeing how well work is going.
Work's going really well, yeah. My boss said that he wants to see my book
when it's done, which is really exciting.
Where are you at with that?
Oh, well, I've done four of the essays, and I'm just kind of polishing them up.
And my hope is that it's going to be nine.
But, you know, it's a memoir, so have to live them first.
LOREEN: (CHUCKLES) Tad, I don't want to just leave it till the end of dinner.
I hear that. Um
Hannah, your mother and I have been talking,
and we feel that it may be time
How can I phrase this?
Well, we see how well you're doing at work,
and you really seem to be figuring out what it is that you want.
But it may be time for one final push.
What is a "final push"?
We're not going to be supporting you any longer.
You see, I wasn't going to phrase it like that, Loreen,
- the way you phrased it. - But I have no job.
No, you have an internship that you say is going to turn into a job.
I don't know when.
You graduated from college two years ago.
We've been supporting you for two years, and that's enough.
Do you know how crazy the economy is right now?
I mean, all my friends get help from their parents.
We are sympathetic to that.
But I'm your only child, it's not like I'm draining all your resources.
I mean, this feels very arbitrary.
You don't know anything about our finances.
We're professors, Hannah.
Professors.
We can't keep bankrolling your groovy lifestyle.
My "groovy" lifestyle?
The bills add up.
We're covering your rent, your insurance, your cell phone.
You said it was cheaper for you if I was on the family plan.
Yeah.
May I get you more of anything?
- Uh - No, she's fine.
- Delicious. - Yeah.
This is nuts.
Tad, can you help me here?
I could be a drug addict. Do you realize how lucky you are?
I mean, it doesn't have to be ***,
it could be something more insidious, like pills.
Which are legal, and which a lot of kids do, all the time.
And then slowly they become totally useless.
They seem really high-functioning, and then it just ruins them.
Okay, my friend Sophie, her parents don't support her.
Last summer, she had two abortions right in a row, and no one came with her.
What does that have to do with anything?
I'm just saying that I am so close to the life that I want,
the life that you want for me, that for you to just end that right now?
No more money.
- Starting when? - Starting now.
We can talk about it tomorrow.
I don't want to see you tomorrow.
- What? - But we fly out Tuesday.
I have work, and then I have a dinner thing,
and then I am busy
trying to become who I am.
