3. Crate and burial
CATHERINE: My daughter wants one of these scooters. Says she's the only kid in the world who doesn't have one.
(CATHERINE opens the box and inside is a cake with "Happy Birthday Lindsey" icing on it.)
(...)
GRISSOM: (smiling) You have to see the birthday present I got for your daughter.
(...)
CATHERINE: I hope you can return it 'cause, uh, Lindsey doesn't want a party.
GRISSOM: Yeah, what kid doesn't want a party?
CATHERINE: My kid.
NICK: Hey, Catherine what time's your little girl coming by?
CATHERINE: She isn't.
(...)
CATHERINE: (exasperated) What do I have to do -- put it on the bulletin board? There is no party. My daughter doesn't want a party. Is everybody clear on
that?
GRISSOM: Your little major-minor blowup about Lindsey not wanting a party.
CATHERINE: Oh, that. Yeah. (sighs) I'm just afraid that I'm making her weird, you know?
GRISSOM: (looks at her) No.
CATHERINE: I work 24/7. I have no time for my friends. My daughter rarely sees me having any fun. And, all of a sudden, she doesn't want a party.
(CATHERINE grabs her cup and heads out the doorway. She and GRISSOM start down the hallway.)
GRISSOM: And that's because of you?
CATHERINE: Yes. I'm her mother. She mimics me.
GRISSOM: Well, then she'll be fine. I mean, look at you.
WARRICK: Your daughter gets out of school in a half hour, right? (CATHERINE nods.) On her birthday. (She nods again.) Why do you want to pick a fight with me now?
