[spoken dialog]
I'll be expecting you to get a haircut by Friday
Forget it dad, that won't change anything
Forget, nothing, you'll do as I say as long as you are living in my house.
He knows I'm not feeling well
And yet he doesn't take out one second out to help his mother
His only concern is for himself
Come on ma, what do you want from me
Don't argue with your mother, just shut up and listen
[Girl]
But mom, all my friends will be there
I said no, you can't go
[Girl]
But why
I don't want you in that neighborhood
[Girl]
Why, what's wrong with that neighborhood
I don't like the kind of people living there
[Girl]
What's wrong with them
Never mind, some day you will thank me
Are you sure nobody kept you company tonight while you were baby sitting
[Girl]
What's that supposed to mean
Just curious
[Girl]
Admit it mom, you don't trust me
Where are you going now
To my friend's house
Don't you have things to do in the house
Don't you have homework
Why don't you sit down and read a book
Don't oh ma me
You're wasting your life away with foolish things
What are you talking about
How about your bridge club and your ladies groups
and your parties and your daytime programs
How about all that
That's different
[Girl]
Ma, I'll be home at 11
You better be home at 10 or don't bother to come home at all
When I was your age, I was working 12 hours a day
6 days a week helping to pay for the food and the rent
I don't understand, what's that got to do with me
If you can't figure that out for yourself, you're stupid
Hey dad, did you see my new guitar, I joined a group
Son, there's a little more to life than joining a group and playing a guitar
Yeah dad, what is there to life (life, life)

Mr Cook,
[Police officer]
Do you have a son named Robin, Robin Cook age 17
[Police officer]
I'm sorry Mr Cook, you better come down to the station house
Your son is dead
Dead? How
[Police officer]
He died of a overdose
Oh my god
[crying]
