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.
