Dirk's Mother
- Eddie Adams: [Eddie has returned home after auditioning for Jack all night, his mother is up and waiting for him in the living room, drunk] Hi.
- Dirk's Mother: Where were you?
- Eddie Adams, Dirk's Mother: Nowhere.
- Dirk's Mother: Shut up. Where were you?
- [puts out her cigarette]
- Dirk's Mother: Did you see that little slut girl you see? Cheryl? Cheryl Lynn?
- Eddie Adams: Don't say that.
- Dirk's Mother: Do you feel like a stud to see trash like that? Is she your girlfriend?
- Eddie Adams: No, she's not my girlfriend.
- Dirk's Mother: She's a little whore, and a little piece of trash. And I know you're not the only one she sees.
- Eddie Adams: Why... why would you say something like that?
- Dirk's Mother: I heard things about her, that girl. Don't think I don't know what goes on here, when I'm not here. I wash your sheets, I know she's been here. Or, or are you doing something else in there, with your music and your posters on the wall?
- Eddie Adams: What is your problem?
- Dirk's Mother: OK, all right, fine. Just go. Go to that little whore Cheryl. Why don't you just go to her. Go to your little girl.
- Eddie Adams: Yeah? Well, maybe I will.
- [heads to his room]
- Dirk's Mother: Yeah?
- Eddie Adams: Yeah!
- Dirk's Mother: Yeah? Well, what are you going to do?
- [she gets up and follows him]
- Eddie Adams: I don't know! I'll do somethin'!
- Dirk's Mother: You can't do anything! You're a loser! You'll always be a loser! You couldn't even finish high school because you are so stupid! So what are you gonna do?
- Eddie Adams: I'm gonna do something! I'll do it! You know what, I'll go somewhere and do something, and maybe run away to where you can't find me!
- Dirk's Mother: Oh, go ahead... fuck that little girl!
- [Eddie grabs a duffel bag and begins to fill it with his belongings]
- Dirk's Mother: Oh, what do you think you're doing?
- Eddie Adams: I'm gettin' my stuff!
- Dirk's Mother: Oh, you think that's your stuff? That's not your stuff! You didn't pay for it!
- [grabs Eddie's face and squeezes it hard]
- Dirk's Mother: That is not your stuff because you didn't pay for it, stupid! None of this is yours!
- Dirk: [Eddie/Dirk and his mother are having a heated argument in his bedroom as she's destroying his posters] Don't do that!
- [hysterical]
- Dirk: Why the fuck do you keep doing that?
- Dirk's Mother: [screaming] You're not gonna be shit because you're too stupid!
- Dirk: I'm not stupid!
- Dirk's Mother: Yes you are!
- Dirk: [ripping a poster from her hands] Please, please don't fucking do that!
- [crying]
- Dirk: Please don't be mean to me!
- Dirk's Mother: I am not being mean to you! You're just too stupid to see it!
