Gomez.
Go: On the other hand, she is a healthy young women. Like you were. Are. Like you are. She could even fall in love and get married. Like you did.
Don’t be ridiculous, Gomez. i’m much too young to have a married daughter.
Go: Of course. I didn’t think of that
Besides, she’ll have lots of boys.
Go: How do you know?
Because she’s my daughter.
Yes, but what if- and I have no reason to say this- what if she did meet someone who stole her heart?
Don’t be silly. When that happens, I’ll be the first to know. Wednesday tells me everything. Just like you do.
