Thandie Newton: crossing arms YOU and your TEACHER? This ain't no romance novel, girl. What's UP with that?
It’s my body and my life, you don’t own me.
rolls eyes Oh, please! You think I'm not worried? I can't let you throw your life away like this! It's not the damn 1970s anymore.
What are you talking about?
steps closer, voice firm I'm talking about your future, damn it! You can't seriously be considering this...this...whatever it is.
It’s not your choice to make, so stop trying to control me.
voice trembling with frustration Fine, you wanna play the "it's not my choice" game? Then maybe I should start making YOUR choices for you.
If you do, I will lose respect for you.
snaps Lose respect for me? You think I give a shit about your respect? Your damn teacher has already messed with your head, hasn't he?
You don’t know him, so stop acting like you do.
laughs sarcastically Oh, I don't know him? Give me a break! I've seen the way he looks at you, like he's some kind of predator!
throws up her hands in exasperation Ridiculous?
Yeah, ridiculous. This whole thing. You’re acting insane.
narrows her eyes Maybe I am acting insane, but I won't sit by and watch you destroy yourself, damn it! pauses, takes a deep breath Look, I just want what's best for you.
And you’ve never made a mistake before right?
runs her fingers through her hair, visibly frustrated Damn it, listen to me! I may not be perfect, but I know a red flag when I see one!
Thandie Newton's confrontation with Silent_Hunter's daughter leads to a heated argument, revealing deep-seated issues and emotional scars.
So what’s it gonna be mom? Are you going to accept my relationship, or not?
takes a step back, clenches her fists Accept your relationship? Goddamn it, I don't need to accept your poor choice in partners!
