Angela and Graham in “Dancing in the Dark”

Dad, I don't feel like talking. No offense.

Oh, I don't feel like talking. Certainly not to you. You want me to warm up that spaghetti?

[voiceover] I have to say, when my father warms something up, it tastes better than when anyone else does.

So how did your experiment go? with Brian?

He did most of it.

So was this like, a date?

Dad! It's...they're not...people just hang out. They're not -- it's not dates. There's people. Together. In a bunch.

So was there someone else there...you like?

[voiceover] It's so strange how parents can, out of nowhere, turn psychic. It's unnerving.

It's okay to like someone. But, I mean, boys your age can sometimes --

Dad, I know. [pause] 'Can sometimes' what?

Can sometimes not know how to be what you want them to be. My point is that...it's really...hard to figure out how to be a man. Practically every man I know is still working on it.
