Us families have to stick together and make music, Susan, not to survive on their own and make atrocious noises.

Shut up! I’m banning this so-called jazz music from our household! You are to play the violin, Susan Rabinowitz, and that’s final!

You don’t have to apologize, dear. You were just trying to make us proud, and, to me, that’s the main reason why I’m proud of you. You’ve been wanting to chase after your dreams so bad that I keep forgetting why I gave birth to you. I gave birth to a smart, passionate, happy, beautiful baby girl and look at her now. She’s growing up. All these times, I’ve been pushing pressure on you to be like me, but then I realized something. You wanted to be your own self. And I couldn’t have been any more proud of you than I already am right now. I’m happy that you got that contract, sweetheart, and I’m just gonna say this: If you want to make the world a better place for us to live in, be who you are born to be. That’s what my mother taught me.
