Elaine Duff : Honey?
Honey Nielsen : Yes?
Elaine Duff : I want to tell you a story.
Honey Nielsen : I love stories.
Elaine Duff : It's about 2 women who live next door to each other.
Honey Nielsen : Like us?
Elaine Duff : Right! You and me. And one of them had a son who spent all of his time at the other one's house.
Honey Nielsen : Like us!
Elaine Duff : Right! You and me! And that mother plied that boy with turkey and snicker doodles and all of his favorite things and made his mother look like Doodie.
Honey Nielsen : Howdy doodie?
Elaine Duff : No such luck!
Honey Nielsen : Oh, pooh! Elaine, I never meant to intrude but you just always seem so busy.
Elaine Duff : Yeah, I'm working.
Honey Nielsen : Well, if that's all it is, why not just give up your job?
Elaine Duff : Now, why didn't I think of doing that? Just one thing. Who's gonna pay the rent?
Honey Nielsen : Oh! Well, I know. Maybe you can just cut out some of those pesky evening activities.
Elaine Duff : I go to meetings and rallies to try to make this world a better place for my boys. Look, Honey, I do my best. Believe me. I really do. And I wish I could spend more time with my kids but guess what. Lately, when I try to make time, they're not interested.
Honey Nielsen : Oh, Elaine.
Elaine Duff : Oh, I don't know. Maybe Skunk is a lost cause but Mike used to be my best pal ever since his father and I broke up and it hurts me that he wants to spend his birthday with you and not me.
Honey Nielsen : [starts to cry] Oh, Elaine. I'm so sorry.
Honey Nielsen : Oh, geez, this isn't your fault.
Honey Nielsen : [crying] Oh, yes it is! I never knew. But now I do. I really do. Oh, you must think I'm nothing but a... a home wrecker!
Elaine Duff : No, you're not, Honey!
Honey Nielsen : [crying] Don't look at me. I don't deserve it.
Elaine Duff : Honey! Cookie? Oh boy, I'm gonna be late for work. I better get that. Are you gonna be OK?

Honey Nielsen : Oh, yes! I feel so much better now that we've had this little talk and Elaine, I promise you everything is gonna be all right. I know it is.
[Elaine leaves for work]
Honey Nielsen : Because I'm gonna make it all right.
