Lisa
It’s okay, you’re gonna love it! Happy first day of school. Bye, sweetie.
Young Kayla
Hi!
Young Sam
Hey, I’m Sam.
YJ Young Julie
Hi, I’m Julie.
Lisa
Bye!
Hunter
I’m Hunter. Sam’s mine, right there. The one with the glasses.
Lisa
I’m Lisa. That’s my Julie.
Mitchell
I’m Mitchell. (sniffles) Kayla’s hero.
Lisa
Oh. Are you okay?
Mitchell
Yeah, yeah. You crying? (Breaking his voice) No, man. It’s a big day, that’s all. You know, can I have a tissue, please?
Lisa
Yeah, yeah.
Mitchell
Thank you.
Lisa
It’s a big day for all of us.
Hunter
Yeah.
Mitchell
Thanks. (exhales)
Lisa
(sighs and chuckles)
Hunter
I think our daughters are friends. And I think that means we’re friends.
Hunter
Should we go get a drink?
Lisa
You okay?
Hunter
Yeah.
Lisa
Yeah.
Hunter
Do you guys wanna go get a drink?
Mitchell
Ah, they made it. (sniffles)
Hunter
You guys wanna go grab a drink real quick?
Lisa
Is he asking us if we wanna go grab a drink?
Mitchell
I’m really hoping it’s coffee.
Lisa
You’re probably gonna miss these mornings that we spend together, right?
J Julie
Stop. You’re gonna make me cry. And I don’t want to cry, because it’s prom night. And it’s supposed to be, like, the most magical night of your life, and, you know, I’m just so anxious about it.
Lisa
Well, call me if you feel anxious. Or maybe FaceTime me, if it wasn’t too loud. I mean, if it was too loud, you could just… we could wave or whatever. (chuckles) That’d be funny. And then I can do… You know what I was thinking? You should send me photos throughout the night. Like, not… not, like, all night long, but if you could do it like every 30 minutes or so, then I can put together one of those iBooks. That would be so fun.
Lisa
That would be a really… I don’t think you would regret that. (chuckles)
Lisa
Mmm-hmm.
J Julie
Are you gonna be okay when I go to college?
Lisa
Who, me?
Lisa
Me? (laughs) What? Pl-Please. Don’t even get me… (laughs) Don’t even… Please!
Lisa
That is some horseshit.
Lisa
Wow. You look so beautiful! (gasps) Turn around. (Julie turns around) Wow.
Lisa
Oh, my goodness. Wow.
J Julie
So what’s the big plan for after prom? Uh, we’re just going to Austin’s.
Lisa
You really like him, huh?
J Julie
Yeah. Yeah, I mean… Yeah, he’s cool. It’s not like serious or anything.
Lisa
His mom told me het got into UCLA. That’s nice.
J Julie
Yeah, I mean, it’s good. You remember that time when, like, I thought about going to UCLA?
Lisa
Yes. That would’ve been crazy. That would’ve been the worst mistake ever.
J Julie
I don’t think it would’ve been that huge of a mistake.
Lisa
Uh, yes, it would have. (laughs) University of Chicago is perfect. It’s 45 minutes away. So that way you’re gone but you’re not gone, gone.
Lisa
Right. But not, like, gone.
J Julie
Right, but, like, I’m going to college and, like, I’m not gonna live at home. So, I’m like, I’m gone.
Lisa
Mmm-hmm.
J Julie
Why are my boobs so big?
Lisa
Hi, how are you?
Kayla
Hi.
Lisa
Hi! How are you? Hi, Marcie.
Marcie
(mouthing words)
Lisa
Oh. Uh-huh. Hey, Mitchell.
Mitchell
Hey! Haven’t seen you in a while.
Lisa
Yeah.
Mitchell
You know, I was worried when I never heard back from you about hot yoga. Called you a bunch of times. I ended up having to eat that two-for-one Groupon.
Lisa
Oh, yeah, I don’t really do the hot yoga thing. It’s just…
Mitchell
Well, we should catch up, though, right?
Lisa
Yeah.
Mitchell
Like a lunch, I don’t know.
Lisa
Yeah, maybe. Yeah, give me a call.
Mitchell
I’ve been calling you.
Lisa
Mmm-hmm.
Mitchell
It doesn’t work. It’s not effective.
Hunter
This is so dumb. Okay? Yeah, our kids are gonna hate us because you’re gonna humiliate them.
Lisa
I’m not gonna humiliate Julie. We’re best friends. I’m the cool mom.
Mitchell
Hunter, don’t make me sit on your balls again.
Hunter
Stop, stop, stop it, stop, stop! This is how they’re gonna be remembered in high school, as the weirdos whose parents dragged them out of prom because they were afraid of their sexuality. It’s not something that should be feared, it should be celebrated. And… And… And we have to empower these young women. I mean, what year is it, guys? It’s 2018.
Hunter
Jesus Christ!
Mitchell
Oh, gross.
Hunter
Okay, you know what? That’s an unfortunate coincidence. Get a **** room!
Mitchell
How are we supposed to find them in this place? It’s got, like, 20 rooms.
Hunter
I’m sorry, what the **** are you talking about? “Twenty”? It’s got, like, 200! What? Twenty?
Lisa
Grand Lux Suite is on the top floor.
Hunter
Go, go, go! Move! Hurry, Lisa!
