Daisy Considers Dinner Invitation with Charlie
Daisy
Ma? I'm not gonna be able to take you to the potluck tomorrow. Charlie invited me to dinner to meet his family. What do you think about that?
Mrs. Araújo
Guess I could get a ride with Louisa.
Daisy
I mean about Charlie.
Mrs. Araújo
He's not a Catholic. Or a Portagee, or poor.
Daisy
He's not a lot of things.
Mrs. Araújo
He's not gonna marry you, either.
Daisy
Are you kidding? Marriage? I'm talking about dinner with his parents.
Mrs. Araújo
Sure, sure. What do I know, anyway? You think I always looked like this? When I was your age, you think they weren't sniffin around after me? Different clothes, same line. Only I had sense.
Daisy
Thank you very much.
Mrs. Araújo
Well, I didn't go jump in the back seat of every sports car that came along.
Daisy
You're really good at this, Ma.
Mrs. Araújo
Good at what?
Daisy
Making me feel like shit. I cursed. Another mark against Daisy, right? I curse, I'm stupid, I'm a slut.
Mrs. Araújo
All I want is for you to make something of yourself!
Daisy
Yeah? Well, I'm not gonna go to Yale. You're just gonna have to deal with that.
Mrs. Araújo
I don't expect you to go to Yale. I'm just so worried about you.

Yeah. Me too.

A Plea for Love and Commitment
Bill Montijo
I'm tellin ya, Jo, that I love you. Doesn't that mean anything to you? I think that when people love each other, they should make a commitment. They should have a wedding, in a church, with the blessings of God, for chrissakes! Don't you get it, Jo? I'm telling you - that I love you! And all you love is my dick. Do you know how that makes me feel? Do you?

Conflict Between Personal Motives and Relationships
Charles Gordon Windsor, Jr.
Dais? Look, I'm sorry, all right? But they deserved it. I couldn't let em do that to you.
[after disrupting his family dinner]
Daisy
Me? You weren't thinking of me. You did that for yourself.
Charles Gordon Windsor, Jr.
They were bein real jerks!
Daisy
The only jerk at that table was you. They were just being themselves. Bring home your poor Portagee girlfriend for dinner, shake up the family a little.
Charles Gordon Windsor, Jr.
That's not true.
Daisy
I'm poor and I hate it. I admit it. I even thought I was desperate, but I'm not half as desperate as you are.
Charles Gordon Windsor, Jr.
What?
Daisy
I would never use you to get at somebody. Your father didn't cheat his way out of law school. You did that all on your own. Deal with it, Junior. You're not even good enough for me.

It's all right. It's gonna be tough, but you're gonna be alright.

Let me get you a cup of tea.

Conflicted Feelings About Love and Commitment
Jojo Barbosa
I mean, if you think about it, Bill and I are so different. Everything he wants, I don't. The marriage, the kids, all that stuff. I mean, I really want that stuff. Real bad. I just don't want it now. He doesn't understand. If he really loved me, he'd wait. But I guess if I really loved him, I'd marry him. Maybe I don't love Bill. But I really do love Bill, though. He really - he understands me so well.

A Conversation About Gourmet Pizza Ideas
Jojo
I bet if we had designer pizza...
Leona
It'd taste like that magazine there.
Jojo
Oh, come on, Leona. A little dry white wine, some smoked clams, some sun-dried tomatoes...
Daisy
I think we should do it, Leona.
Leona
Listen, young ladies. We have the real thing right here. The Mystic Pizza. Spices from the Algarve back in Portugal. My grandfather taught my father how to make it. And my father taught me. And one of these days, when I retire, I just might teach one of you. It's tradition. And...
Jojo, Daisy, Kat, Leona
You don't monkey with tradition!
Daisy
Amen!

Curiosity About Relationships and Activities
Daisy
Just what the hell do you two do together, anyway? That's what I'd like to know.
Kat
If I told you, it would sound stupid.
Daisy
It would sound pathetic! Daddy boffing the babysitter is a really old story. It happens all the time.
Kat
We talk, we read, we listen to Mozart sometimes...
Daisy
You really believe this 30-year-old guy is gonna leave his wife and live happily ever after with you? You're livin in a fuckin romance novel, Kat.
Kat
Oh, yeah. Boffing, fucking, screwing. The great Daisy. Nobody's fool. Why don't you start taking cash for your services? It would be more honest!
Daisy
Wipe your conscience.
[slaps Kat]
