Mr. Gallagher, a word. Liam failed his exam today. He only got two out of ten questions correct.
I didn't understand the questions.
What kind of questions are we talking?
AAnne
Basic word association. "Jennifer blanked the glue and finished her project." The choices were "applied," "kicked," or "sliced." Liam scribbled them out and wrote "sniffed."
Well, technically, it works. What else you got?
AAnne
"The front door is to the foyer as the back door is to..." The choices were "sidewalk," "kitchen," "street." He wrote "penis."
How the hell would he know what a foyer is? What are we, the Rockefellers?
AAnne
These questions are standardized across the private school curriculum...
To favor the students who understand the references. This is cultural bias. You'll put his face on your brochure, but you ignore his background.
AAnne
I understand your concerns, Mr. Gallagher...
Great. What are you gonna do about them?
AAnne
Are you familiar with the saying; "sins of the father?
Think I've heard it at home.
AAnne
Your father made a lot of Hopkins parents very... unhappy, and where there's unhappiness, there's often anger and retribution. The Committee for Diversity and Advancement who fund your scholarship, they have made some demands and, well, we've loved having you here, son.
Why are you speaking in past tense?
AAnne
We see this as an opportunity for you. With the step up that we have given you, you can soar now, little bird.
AAnne
[In dejected tone] Yeah.
AAnne
[Carl walks up to her in parking lot oblivious to long line outside restaurant] I mean, take your time. Business meetings can start late. That's professional.
I'm sorry. I got held up at the ATM. You know, I couldn't get my breakfast sandwich. My morning's all fսckеd, and I'm hangry-
AAnne
Shut up and check out that line, son. [Carl glances] All asking for tartar sauce. Drove up new business. I underestimated you. You have game.
It was easy. Middle school was having a field day. You know, three-legged-races, egg toss shit. You know, it was like taking candy from a baby. Well, here's your cut, partner. Thank you, partner.
Yo! I got a line forming in here that's longer than my grandma's tіts! Clock in, pirates!
Sorry, Lori. Yes, master.
AAnne
Have fun deep-frying sh¡t in trans fats.
Has anyone seen my breast pump? This baby refuses to eat! God, my boobs are gonna explode.
[Showing phone] And this is me at target practice. I kept lining my sight up all wrong, but then Mitch helped me and- Uh, are you listening to me?
[Looks over to Anne] Yeah, uh-huh.
Uh-huh. She's just a friend from work. He shit again. Why is Anne here?
'Cause we're hiding her from ICE. Her family's gonna get deported to one of those facilities south of Texas. And I think I'm, like, a Democrat now or something.
Democrat? [Laughs and starts to embrace Carl] You're so funny, Carl!
AAnne
[Speaks Spanish] My God, it's hot with the stove going.
Can Amalia still watch Franny today?
Anne: Yep.
Cool. [Tami throws a soiled diaper into trashcan and all exclaim]
Oh, grow up, you guys. We all poop.
Yeah, we don't all change our shit-filled underwear in the kitchen.
I've done it. It's closer to the washing machine. Just drop that dirty sucker in there. One of ya hits wash eventually.
Hey, what's with the backpack?
It's for carrying things, genius.
It's Franny's. If I find any sеx or drսg paraphernalia in there, I'll kill you in your sleep, Frank.
You mad at me or something?
AAnne
No. Mad at myself for crushing on you.
AAnne
Calmate, (Take it easy) past tense)).
Yeah, but having Kelly around just made me realize how much I like you. We're keeping it strictly business from now on. And we gotta get out of your house.
AAnne
You were only being nice to us so you could get in my pants.
Our block is still crawling with ICE dudes. Sent a couple tios (uncles) over there to check it out, and they got picked up. Might have to live on the streets for a little bit.
Like, be homeless? Anne, come on. We'll be fine.
MMan
He says we can't sell here no more. Okay?
TThug
[Speaks Spanish] This is our corner. Other tamale business must stop immediately. I'm asking nicely for now, but next time it'll be alot less friendly.
AAnne
[Speaks Spanish] This is our corner. So I think you better go back to whatever rodeo you escaped from before you piss me off for real. [In English] Okay? [Thug's other compadres show up and demolish the tamale stand]
AAnne
Hey! Stop it! Let me go!
Come on, tactical retreat. Live to fight another day.
