ugh.
JOSEPH
I'm being invited out, it's short notice but they're two big things. Tomorrow, dinner with the associate editor of PLANT magazine and the staff, which I shot cover to cover for, and the day after, the 2nd Anniversary Party of Rogue Magazine, which is the hottest magazine in the city. Can I go?
FATHER
They're on weeknights, know your priorities.
I told him very honestly that I'd be home by 2am, but then he said it was too late. I'm 21 years old for god's sake. For years I've told him, oh til 10, oh til 11, oh til midnight, but it's always 2am. I know my schedules. I know my age. I know what I can or can't handle. I know what time I will come home. What's the point of my giving him a comfortable time I'd come home, when I know the actual time I'll arrive?
I'll be home 11.
You'll be home 12 I know it.
I could say I'd be home 12 and be truthful but you'd hate it.
You ought to truthfully say you're coming home at 11, Joseph.
My fucking god I just don't understand how he wants me to tell him everything, and then expects to hear only what he likes.
