(annoyed) Mom! Why’d you have to interrupt! I was just getting to the best part!
(up to interpretation) And for the record: I’m not a loafer, a slacker... or whatever derogative implying lethargy that your protégé wants to throw at me on any given day! I work hard. I study hard. Every single day! But apparently anything and everything I do just isn’t good enough. All thanks to your overly high expectations of me!
C’mon. Cut it out, you two! I’m sorry, okay?! Fine. Susie, I’ll go to the Phi Beta whatever ceremony with you. Mom! I’m sorry I called you a tiger mom. I’ll be a better daughter, all right? I’ll go to law school, medical school, wherever! Whatever you want! Just come out now! (pause) Please!
