## Dialogue

    Jean: You mean he doesn't know about us?
    Helen: Well. Of course he does, Darling!
    Jean: All of us?
    Colleen: Oh, Mother. That's so romantic! You lied to him!
    Helen: I did not lie to him! I just didn't have the nerve to tell him the whole truth!
    Colleen: Mmm, I understand! No man wants a liaison with a woman with eight children!
    Janette: What's a liaison?
    Colleen: An affair.
    Janette: That's what I thought.
    Jean: Me too.
    Mary: I got there as fast as I could, Sister Mary. What is it this time?
    Mary: Why don't you ask Phillip?
    Helen: Phillip? [Phillip turns around, revealing a black eye] Darling! What happened?
    Phillip: Nothing.
    Helen: Who did that to you?
    Phillip: One of the kids. [points at Sister Mary] *She* started it. She says I'm not legal.
    Helen: What?
    Phillip: And Mike isn't my brother.
    Helen: Of course he's your brother.
    Phillip: Then my name's Phillip Beardsley.
    Mary: Phillip North.
    Phillip: There she goes again.
    Mary: Sister, couldn't you - couldn't you just call him Phillip Beardsley?
    Mary: I'm sorry, but the school requires that we use their legal names.
    Phillip: Let's go to another school.
    Helen: Sister, I, uh... I understand your legal problem, but you must try to understand mine. You see, I'm trying to bring two families together, and this is the first sign that I may be succeeding. So, I really would appreciate it if you'd let Phillip sign his name Beardsley.
    Mary: But legally, it's North.
    Mary: But it's more important that emotionally, it's Beardsley.
    Mary: North.
    Helen: Beardsley.
    Mary: North!
    Helen: Beardsley, Beardsley, Beardsley!
    Phillip: Watch out, Mom. You might get a black eye.
