Bridget: Dad, I’m home. Dad?

Dad: Bridget! Hey, honey. I didn’t expect you are home so soon!

Bridget: I know, me either.

Dad: You hungry? Want a slice¹? Favorite recipe².            

Bridget: No, it’s okay. I ate on the road.

Dad: So how’s school?

Bridget: Good. Yeah. How’s everything with you?

Dad: Good, you know, same.

[B在整理东西时发现了一叠信，是母亲留下的，突然意识到父亲多年来一直扣留着这些信]

[B把一沓信甩在父亲面前，质问]

Bridget: Why you didn’t tell me she’s been writing all these years?

Dad: Where did you get these?

Bridget: Where you hid them.    

Dad: Your mother and I weren't on speaking terms with Greta. I thought it was in your best interest.    

Bridget: My best interest? What? To make me think that my own grandmother didn’t love me? You had no right to do that to me!  

Dad: I had a right, Bridget. I’m your father. It’s my job to protect you.   

Bridget: Protect me? From what? I can take care of myself, Dad. In case you hadn’t noticed, I’ve been doing it for years.
