SUSAN: What are you staring at?
SHARON: Excuse me. It’s just that the girls were saying we looked alike.
SUSAN: Yeah? Turn your head. Let me see that profile! I know it! The spit and image of you-know-who!
SHARON: Who?
SUSAN: Frankenstein!
SHARON: You know what I mean! You’ve noticed it too!

SUSAN: Oh, Sharon! Come on!
SHARON: Look. Look at this!
SUSAN: I-I don’t understand. What are you doing with her picture?
SHARON: It’s my mother.
SUSAN: But it’s my mother. It’s the same picture Daddy had on his desk!
SHARON: That’s what I mean, Susan. Don’t you see?

SHARON: How can you think of food at a time like
