Zoe: Hey, Mom, we're going into town.
Erica: Okay.
Zoe: Are you crying?
Erica: Yeah. It's my new thing. I've gotten abnormally brilliant at it.
Zoe: Why? What is it?
Erica: I'm in love. Ain't it great? Seems like I gotta learn how to do that... love-them-and-leave-them stuff, you know?
Zoe: Oh, Mom, I hate this. Now do you get my theory about all this? You gotta self-protect.
Erica: You don't really buy this stuff you say, do you? You don't actually think that you can outsmart getting hurt?
Zoe: I think it's worth trying.
Erica: Listen to me. You can't hide from love for the rest of your life... because maybe it won't work out... maybe you'll become unglued? It's just not a way to live.
Zoe: Are you telling me this is good?
Erica: I think you should consider the possibility... that you and I are more alike than you realize. I let someone in, and I had the time of my life.
Zoe: I've never had the time of my life.
Erica: I know, baby. And I say this... from the deepest part of my heart. What are you waiting for?
