Reggie Fabelman
Is she gonna marry Bennie?
Sammy Fabelman
If she wants to, she will, she’s the most selfish person on earth.
Reggie Fabelman
It must’ve been hard for her, married to a... a genius.
Sammy Fabelman
Dad worships Mom.
Reggie Fabelman
OK - But maybe it’s hard, being worshipped by someone you know you’ll never be as good as, or ever do anything as good as. She laughs at Bennie’s jokes, but...Dad’s always been her best audience.
Sammy Fabelman
[Reggie starts to cry]
Come on. She’ll be fine, she’ll tell herself everything happens for a reason, she’ll make excuses like she always -
Reggie Fabelman
You’re way more selfish than her.
Reggie Fabelman
[Sammy, confused, tries to laugh it off]
That’s why you’re angry at her. It’s because she’s scared. Just like you, Sammy. Out of everyone in this outta-control falling-apart family, the one who’s most like Mitzi is you.
