Matt: Girls, let me go in for just a quick moment alone first. I'll be right out. You were gonna ask for a divorce so you could be with some fucking fuckhead, Brian Speer? Are you kidding me? Who are you? The only thing I know for sure is you're a goddamn liar. So, what do you have to say for yourself? Why don't you go ahead and make a little joke and tell me that I got it all wrong? Tell me again that I'm too out of touch with my feelings and I need to go to therapy. Isn't the idea of marriage to make your partner's way in life a little easier? For me, it was always harder with you, and you're still making it harder. Lying there on a ventilator and fucking up my life. You arerelentless. You know what? I was gonna ask you for a divorce someday. Daddy's little girl. I'm gonna bring your daughters in now. Alex is home from school. Try to be nice, okay? All right, here we go. Okay?

Scottie: Hi, Mom. Look who's here. Say something, Alex. Tell her how you were drunk the other night. Tell her how maybe you're an alcoholic.

Matt: Girls, be serious.

Alex: Hi, Mom. Sorry for being bad. Sorry for wasting your money on expensive private schools. Money you could have been using on facials and massages and sports equipment. Sorry for everything.

Matt: All right.

Alex: I'm sorry we weren't good enough for you, especially Dad.

Matt: Stop it. That's out of line.

Alex: Or what? You gonna ground me? You gonna ship me off to another boarding school? You gonna give me a time-out?

Matt: I'll tell you what, goddamn it.

Scottie: You got served.

Matt: Scottie, go in the hall.

Scottie: She's the one out of line.

Matt: Go find Sid.

Scottie: He's smoking. I shouldn't be around second-hand smoke.

Matt: Go, let's go. Now, now, now, go.

Alex: Did you spank me?

Matt: You have no right to talk to your mother that way. She's gonna die in a few days. What if those were your last words?

Alex: I have every right to speak to her that way. I'm angry at her. How can you be so forgiving?

Matt: I'll be angry later. Right now let's just think about the good parts. Don't say that stuff in front of your sister. Don't spoil her for Scottie. Say something different.

Alex: Look, Mom, I know that we fought a lot. I just I always wanted to be like you. I am like you. I'm exactly like you.

Matt: You are like her. Mostly in good ways. Maybe some bad ways. Remains to be seen.

Alex: Yes.

夏威夷旅游小指南

夏威夷是地球上最宜人的度假胜地。带错了衣服，在最近的海滩商场花上几美元就能令你焕然一新。不会说英语?一个微笑及友好的举止就能帮助你得到你所需的。

夏威夷全年气候宜人，因为正处于热带的边缘所以这里只有两个季节。在“夏季”白天的平均最高温度是华氏85度;“冬季”为华氏78度。海洋温度则终年温暖。来自不同方位的风向将岛屿的温度及湿度保持在理想的状态。如果你喜欢干爽及阳光充沛的地方，可选择每个岛屿顺风处(那是上风处的背阴面——通常是西面及南面)。如果你向往的是热带的葱郁及湿润，可选择岛屿的迎风处(那是上风处——通常是东面及北面)。即使是在岛屿的顺风处雨水也不时造访，而后留下它那令人称奇的绚烂的彩虹。如果没有了它们夏威夷也就不成为夏威夷了。

让游客感兴趣的还有夏威夷“没有规范”的服饰。与欧美人士穿衣讲究场合相反，夏威夷人无论场合时间，一套以夏威夷布裁制的夏威夷衫通行各处。男人穿的叫阿罗哈衫(Aloha Shirts)，女性的花衫有长短之分，白天穿的略短，叫“慕”，晚上穿的长衫叫“慕慕”，以衣服长短命名名字，是当地人发明的科学。游客到此，都不忘带回几件“慕”或“慕慕”。

夏威夷的一切都是美好的，一年四季，各种奇花异卉无不满山遍野绽放着，令人有赏心悦目的感觉。美丽的风光，友善的邻居，到处飘扬着和谐悦耳的歌声，是赋予观光者生活充实的地方。戴上当地人赠予的沉香扑鼻的花环，会使你疲劳顿消。海上活动有风帆、滑水等项目，既富有刺激性，又无太大危险。在海滩浴场一头设有潜艇旅行，花上几十美元，乘客便可在150米深的水下观赏鱼类及其他海洋动物及海底废墟。
