DOROTHY
This again? You're talking about that drummer boy from your graduation party? Rose, stop being ridiculous. First of all, it was six months ago. You should have forgotten him by now. More importantly, dear, he's not for you. No name. No standing. No skill in neuro-artistry whatsoever.

ROSE
Mom, we linked! Don't you understand? We. Linked. It happened. I can't just get over it like you're telling me to.

DOROTHY
You can and you will, young lady! I've worked too hard and sacrificed too much for both you and WilsonCorp to see you throw your life away because of a little...glitch.

ROSE
How can you call a neuro-link a glitch? Isn't that how you and dad –

DOROTHY
Young lady, you are not me. And that boy most certainly wasn't your father! It was a mistake, honey. Women like you don't end up with guys like him. It's just not the way things work.
