Joe Yoo quotes from May December (2023)

Gracie

What's making you feel bad?

Joe Yoo

It's not... I don't feel bad, like... I'm just trying to say... [swallows] What if I wasn't ready to be making those kinds of decisions? Then... then what? Because the kids. What would that mean?

Gracie

I don't understand what you're saying.

Joe Yoo

I'm saying, what if I was too young?

Gracie

Well... [starts to tear up, scoffs] You seduced me.

Joe Yoo

But I was 13 years old.

Gracie

Don't give me that.

Joe Yoo

But I was.

Gracie

I don't care how old you were. Who was in charge?

Joe Yoo

What?

Gracie

Who was the boss? Who was in charge? Who was in charge?

Elizabeth

You're so young. Believe me. You could start over.

Joe Yoo

And do what?

Elizabeth

Anything.

Joe Yoo

What happened?

Gracie

Joyce in Mercer called and cancelled her order, and all future orders.

Joe Yoo

I'm sorry.

Gracie

And I told her that I'd already made it, and she said that she would pay for it, but that she didn't need it. They were leaving town.

Joe Yoo

Where are they going?

Gracie

Her sister is sick or something. [angrily] It doesn't matter. I wasted hours that I could have used.

Joe Yoo

You couldn't have known, Gracie.

Gracie

I just... I hate things like that. [sobbing] And now I have this cake that's going to go right in the garbage.

Joe Yoo

You don't have to throw it in the garbage.
[Gracie sobs as Joe comforts her]
