Because then there won’t be a dinner.
Gomez- Do you love your daughter? Do you care for her mental well-being?
Go: Of course-
Do you want her to be put on heavy medication and spend the rest of her days hating us because we let her ruin her life?
Go: Singing THERE ARE FOUR THINGS
Gomez! (Ding!) Would you stop that!
Go: I think we should have this dinner
Why?
Go: We need to introduce her to the world.
Are you out of your mind? Have you seen the world lately? Now stop prattling and go tell her the dinner is off.
Go: But, Cara-
You’re the father. The father is the canceller. And if after 25 years of marriage you can’t do this one thing for me, than I just don’t know what!
Wed: Okay. And then they’ll want to see the house, and then at eight, we’ll have dinner and they can be back at their hotel by nine thirty. (Family mumurs approval)
