• Mrs. Hughes : Better get that piano player out of your mind. He never did anything for you.

  Gloria Hughes : What of it!

  Mrs. Hughes : Well now, Gloria. For instance, take Mr. Miller he's...

  Gloria Hughes : Yeah, we'll take him.

  Mrs. Hughes : But if it weren't for him, you'd still be yelling your head off down at Himmers.

  Gloria Hughes : Am I better off now? Eating around greasy food, one cheap hotel after another playing five a day?

  Mrs. Hughes : Well you make a lot of money.

  Gloria Hughes : Yeah. A lot of it I guess.

  Mrs. Hughes : Well, of course you don't spend it foolishly. I'm saving it for you.

  Gloria Hughes : Yeah, I know.

  Mrs. Hughes : A lot of thanks I get after all I've done for you. And I raise you. And play for you. Sob.

  [Mrs. Hughes cries] 

  Gloria Hughes : And worked my fingers to the bone! Get out, I know that old story too. Oh I'm sorry mom. I appreciate everything you've done for me. I'll try my best to forget Buddy.

  [Gloria gives her mom a big hug] 

  Mrs. Hughes : Oh Gloria darling hmm. You always were a good, good girl. I've got to go to the drugstore before they closes. Hurry now dear, because you only have a few minutes.

  [Mrs. Hughes opens the door and leaves]
