Everyday Use by Marina Nolla

Dee: (lets out a frustrated sigh) Ugh! That visit went exactly how I expected it to. 
Hakeem-A-Barber- I didn't think it was that bad. Except for the food..

Dee: Are you kidding?! I cannot believe my mother! 

Hakeem-A-Barber: I personally thought she was a nice lady.

Dee: You just met her! I can't believe she gave Maggie those quilts. She's going to ruin them.

Hakeem-A-Barber: Honey, you don't know that. She's getting married soon. Maybe she deserves them.

Dee: Oh yes I do! You don't even know her. Maggie is dumb. I wanted to hang them. She's going to use them! She doesn't understand how valueable they are and she does not deserve them. I should have those. I never get anything I want.

Hakeem-A-Barber: To be honest, by the way you acted in there, it seems like you're used to getting everything you want...

Dee: (face reddens with anger) Excuse me?! You have no idea what you're talking about. Apologize to me!

Hakeem-A-Barber: I won't apologize for stating my opinion.

Dee: Then you can walk home!

(Hakeem-A-Barber refuses to get out of the car and they drive home in an awkward silence.)
