:33:00
I would be so afraid...
:33:04
that I would disappoint
the people of Genovia...
:33:08
and I couldn't bear...
:33:09
to disappoint you again.
:33:16
Well, as I said...
:33:18
I have faith in you.
:33:25
- I'm a writer.
- Ah!
:33:27
I write soaps--
soap opera.
:33:29
Mm-hmm.
:33:31
Did you ever see
"Middle House Road"?
:33:33
No. No, no.
:33:35
It's a big hit.
:33:37
I wrote a character
just like you once.
:33:39
He was a spy.
:33:40
I'm not a spy.
:33:41
That's what
the character said.
:33:45
MIA:
I'll see you tonight, then.
:33:46
CLARISSE: Mm-hmm.
:33:48
Hahh!
:33:51
CLARISSE:
I do have one favor to ask.
:33:56
I need you to formally
renounce your title...
:33:59
for the press
at the ball, you know?
:34:03
- Make a speech?
- Mm-hmm.
:34:06
Do you think that maybe...
:34:09
considering
my history with the press...
:34:10
it would be better
if you did it?
:34:12
Amelia, you wouldn't
stop driving your Mustang...
:34:16
just because a couple of insects
hit the windshield?
:34:19
Besides,
look how far you've come...
:34:21
and I'll be
right there with you.
:34:23
I'll have Joseph
pick you up at 7:00.
:34:25
No. Um...
:34:27
I promised
I'd let my mom drive me.
:34:29
She wants to drive me
to my first ball...
:34:32
or something.
:34:35
All right.
I'll see you there, then.
:34:38
Mm-hmm.
:34:40
Grandma?
:34:42
[ Clarisse sighs ]
:34:47
I am sorry.
:34:49
Oh, my dear.
:34:52
You are first and foremost
my granddaughter.
