I'm looking for an Olive.
Rosemary
There's a whole jar of them in the fridge.
B Brandon
I thought this was...
Rosemary
Oh come on in. Any friend of Olive's is a friend of our daughters. [calling upstairs] Olive! Sweetie, there's a young man here to see you. He said something about asking for your hand in marriage!!
Olive
Oh happy day mama! Oh, I thought I was gonna have to spend my dowry on booze and pills to numb the loneliness!! A gentleman caller, hooray!!!
Rosemary
That boy from yesterday just dropped this off for you...
Olive
Well, put it in the pile of gifts from my other suitors.
Rosemary
He seems like a nice kid. He seemed a little incredibly gay...
Olive
Dyed in the wool homosexual, that boy is.
Rosemary
I just want you to know your father and I are totally supportive. We love you no matter what the sexual orientation of your opposite sex sex partner...
Olive
We are not dating, Mom.
Rosemary
...and don't worry about not making us grandparents. Although we were kind of hoping you'd get "knocked up" so we'd have a second shot at raising kids, really do it right this time.
Olive
Bye now...
Rosemary
You know, I dated a homosexual once. For a long time, actually... a long time...
Olive
Dear God, dear Lord, tell me you didn't marry and have children with him!
Rosemary
[Giggles]
No.
Rosemary
[Olive sarcastically imitates laughing]
No, no. Your father is as straight as they come. A little too straight, if you know what I mean, girlfriend.
Olive
I don't...
Olive
Guys, I want you to know that if you hear I have chlamydia, that is totally false.
Rosemary
Olive, do we need to have the talk again?
Olive
No. It's just a thing that's going around.
D Dill
You know, nothing you're saying is making me feel any better.
Rosemary
Not to mention how you have been dressing these past few days. No judgment, but you kind of look like a stripper.
Olive
Mom!
D Dill
A high-end stripper, for governors or athletes, but a stripper nonetheless.
Rosemary
I had a similar situation when I was your age. I had a horrible reputation.
Olive
Why?
Rosemary
Because I was a slut. I slept with a whole bunch of people. A slew, a heap, a peck. Mostly guys.
Olive
Mom!
...
Olive
Can you not see that I'm a mess?
Rosemary
No, you're not, Olive. You're wonderful. And you'll handle this the same way I did. With an incontrovertible sense of humor. But you're much smarter than I am, so you'll come out of this much better than I did.
Olive
Thank you, Mom.
