Joan, Joe and others in “Girls Just Want to Have Fun”

[to Karen] How can you do this? How? I work. Your father works two jobs, all so we can live in a safe neighborhood, so our kids will be safe! And all the time, the drugs, the violence, and the weapons were in our house? In our house?

Joe

And you brought them in.

We have to protect Stan. No wonder he isn't sleeping. I'll take him to my mom's. He'll be safe there.

No, you don't have to!

Joe

I'll see if I can get a transfer. Maybe we can move.

No! Why are you doing this?

Joe

Haven't you heard? Our daughter is in a gang! There are weapons in our son's bed! He is in serious danger! We all are!
