　　MISSY DEAN
　　Oh， that’s awful; so young. I’m so sorry to hear that.
　　
　　CHRIS （CONT’D）
　　Yeah. My aunt raised me， with my cousins. We didn’t have a lot of money or anything， but she’s a good person; kept me off the streets. She gave me my first camera.
　　
　　Rose holds Chris’ hand.
　　
　　MISSY
　　You two seem like you’ve been together for years. How long has it been now？
　　
　　CHRIS ROSE
　　4 months？ 5 months.
　　
　　CHRIS
　　5？ She’s right; I’m wrong.
　　
　　DEAN
　　‘Atta boy Chris. Get used to saying that.
　　
　　MISSY
　　Not a lot of time， anyway. So……？
　　You guys in love or what？
　　
　　ROSE
　　Mom.
　　
　　CHRIS
　　I mean， we’ve been trying to take it slow but……
　　
　　MISSY
　　Yep. You’re in love. I can tell.
　　
　　DEAN
　　Can’t resist the inevitable.
　　
　　Walter mows past them in the distance.
　　
　　MISSY
　　And how did you meet， again？
　　
　　CHRIS
　　At the blood drive.
　　
　　ROSE
　　Remember when I volunteered at the community center？
　　
　　DEAN
　　Ah， yes.
　　
　　MISSY
　　And he really is so good looking， isn’t he？ You’d have beautiful babies.
　　
　　ROSE
　　I know!
　　
　　DEAN
　　Uh oh. Get out of here before it’s too late!
　　
　　ROSE
　　（to Chris）
　　Now， all you have to do is just quit smoking.
　　
　　DEAN
　　Oh no! A smoker!？
　　
　　MISSY
　　And we were just beginning to like you.
　　
　　CHRIS
　　No. I’m quitting.
　　
　　DEAN
　　You should have Missy take care of that for you.
　　
　　ROSE
　　Oh God.
　　
　　CHRIS
　　How？
　　
　　DEAN
　　Hypnosis. Works like a charm.
　　
　　Missy watches Chris’ reaction intently. He is uncomfortable.
　　
　　CHRIS
　　Oh.
　　
　　DEAN
　　I thought the whole thing was B.S. too. I smoked for 20 years. She puts me under once， now the sight of a cigarette makes me wanna vomit.
　　
　　MISSY
　　Of course， I’d give you the service for free. You are family after all.
　　
　　CHRIS
　　Wow. I don’t…… Thank you. Um， I don’t know.
　　
　　Chris looks to Rose for help.
　　
　　ROSE
　　You guys， normal people don’t want strangers fiddling around in their heads.
　　
　　MISSY
　　If you change your mind…… We’re just glad you could join us for the big get-together.
　　Georgina brings the pitcher of iced tea around and refills everyone’s glass. Chris tries to thank her with a look. She smiles and avoids eye contact.
　　
　　CHRIS
　　The get-together？
　　
　　ROSE
　　The party tomorrow？ I told you.
　　
　　CHRIS
　　I must have forgot.
　　
　　MISSY
　　Oh， well we host a shindig once a year for our friends.
　　
　　DEAN
