I'm not mad at you Dad, I just don't want her to be mad at me.
Well honey, Linda's not going to be mad at you.
Not Linda--Mom.
What about Mom?
If I like Linda, Mom will know and she'll be mad.
Why would Mom be mad?
Because she'll be jealous. You think Linda's beautiful. She's got red hair and she's a doctor, and Mom wasn't like that.
Honey, there will never be anyone who means as much to me as Mom did. Not anyone. Just like no one could ever take your place or Ephram's. That's the first thing you have to know.
What's the second?
The second thing is that Mom would never be mad at you or me or anyone for liking someone else that wasn't her.
I don't know, she'd be pretty tough.
