Julie is studying as Susan sneaks in.

Susan: Pssst. (whispering) Come here.

Susan: Okay, I'll come there. Are you still mad at me about the party?

Julie: Oh you picked up on that, did you?

Susan: Okay, look. I've been thinking about things and just forget what I said earlier.

Julie: You mean I can go?

Susan: Shhh. Geez, oh. Mike's in the other room.

Julie: You're not gonna tell him?

Susan: No! And neither are you!

Julie: Ah. Why are you walking on eggshells? You are my Mother. You have every right to override him.

Susan: I know. I just think it's sweet that he worries about you and I want him to feel that he's part of the decision making process.

Julie: Oh, well clearly he's not if you're going behind his back.

Susan: Do you want to go or not?

Julie: Yes! I really want to go to the party.

Mike walks in.

Mike: Party? You guys still talking about that?
Susan: Ah. Can you believe it? Oh. (to Julie) Let it go! You know Mike and I decided. No Party and that's final.

Mike and Susan walk out the door. Susan turns and gives a "thumbs up" to Julie and mouths "have fun."
