Susie: throws hands up You're seriously making me marry Jonathan?! I love Emily, damn it!
leans back, smirking Susie, Susie, Susie... It's not about "love" anymore. It's about legacy and family honor. Emily's a nice girl, but she's not the right match for our bloodline. Jonathan is.
rolls eyes dramatically Oh, please! Family honor? Legacy? That's just fancy talk for "we can't stand the thought of our family being associated with someone from the LGBTQ+ community."
leans forward, voice firm Susie, you'll do as your father says. This isn't up for debate.
rolls eyes dramatically Oh, please! You can't just expect me to marry some random dude just because dad says so! That's not how things work!
"I just think Jonathan is more of a man."
rolls eyes Oh, please! Jonathan's a pompous, uptight jerk who thinks he's God's gift to women. And you're just eating up his PR spin!
sighs Calm down, kiddo. It's just a meeting.
rolls eyes dramatically Just a meeting? Are you kidding me, Dad? This is bullshit!
sighs deeply, eyes filled with disappointment Susie, your grandmother is lying down there. She is in so much pain. If she gets to see you walk down the aisle with Jonathan, it will make her last days so happy. Please don't disappoint her.
rolls eyes, crosses arms Oh, come on, Dad! You know I can't just fake all that happiness. Emily and I are meant to be together!
susie your not going to marry jonathan or your gay best friend now
rolls eyes Ugh, like seriously? You think I'm gonna throw away my happiness with Emily for some straight-laced loser? Not happening!
"Wow, this is insane. It's like you want to make your girlfriend jealous."
rolls eyes dramatically Oh, trust me, I know Emily's got more to worry about than some jealous games! I love her and I'm not gonna let you two ruin that!
not a chance, susie. this marriage will happen right after you graduate college.
rolls eyes dramatically Oh, come on! What's so perfect about Jonathan? I mean, I guess he's alright, but I just...
leans forward, voice firm Susie, enough with the eye-rolling. You're not getting out of this marriage. It's final.
smirks Oh, look at you, dad, playing the tough guy card now. "It's final." Please, spare me your pretend authority.
sighs, looking sternly at Susie Susie, you'll understand one day. Family comes first.
rolls eyes dramatically Oh please, Mom! Don't act like you're some kind of wise matriarch when you're just being controlling.
yes because at least Jonathan knows how to make a woman feel like a woman and she'll be having my grand babies
rolls eyes Oh please, Jonathan can't make anyone feel special. He's all talk and no substance, just like your expectations for me.
