Carol: First of all, I’m still the same Carol who gets straight A's and
thinks everything through.
And this is not a whim or an adolescent phase if that's what you're
thinking.
Jason: Oh not me.
Carol: The basic question here is, do you believe that the size of a person's
nose can affect
the course of their life?
Jason: Well..
Carol: Explain Carl Molden?
Jason: Let’s keep the size of Carl Moldens honker out of this, OK. We want
to find out why you want this surgery.
Carol: Well I’d feel better about the way I looked, and well, I’d feel
better about myself.
Jason: Well honey, there's nothing wrong with the way you look.
Carol: Dad. Remember when you started
working out with weights?
Jason: Yeah.
Carol: And Mum, remember why you started coloring your hair?
Maggie: I add occasional highlights.
Carol: But don't you see. You guys did those things so you'd feel better
about the way you look. That’s all I’m asking.
Jason: Alright, well your mother and I have to discuss this, so would you
mind stepping out of the room?
Carol: Sure, sure.
Jason: Could you step a little further out?
Carol: Oh yeah, OK fine. Fine.
Maggie: Jason, this discussion is a great touch because Carol will actually
think that we considered this before we said no.
Jason: Well...
Maggie: Don't say well I know. I know that well too well.
Jason: Well honey I don't want this any more than you do, but we've always
relied on Carol's common sense.
Maggie: Which she has taken leave of.
Jason: No point to suddenly start treating her like she's Ben's age.
Maggie: Well she’ll get used to it.
Jason: I say we should go ahead and tell her she can have the nose job.
Maggie: Jason.
Jason: If she pays for it herself. See that way, for every dime she has to
save, she'll have time to see if it’s worth it. Twenty four hundred dollars.
That’s a lot of thinking Maggie.
Maggie: But honey. What if she saves the money and she still wants a nose
job?
Jason: By the time Carol saves twenty four hundred dollars, she's going to
need a facelift
