Butter scene
Storyboard Text
- I made some. It didn't taste like frosting. It was sort of crunchy, , because the sugar didn't dissolve, and it was greasy and left a filmy coat in my mouth. But I ate it all anyway.
- "Mix it with sugar, Taste just like frosting"
- When Mom got home that evening, she looked in the refrigerator.
- What happened to the stick of margarine?
- Mom got angry. She was saving it, she said, to butter the bread. Mom said she was thinking of baking some bread if a neighbor would loan us some flour. I pointed out that the gas company had turned off our gas.
- We ate it!!
- "We should have saved the margarine just in case the gas gets turned back on. Miracles happen, you know.
- Its because you and Lori selfishness.
- "It was the only thing to eat in the whole house
- Mom wasn't making any sense to me. I wondered if she had been looking forward to eating the margarine herself. And that made me wonder if she was the one who'd stolen the can of corn the night before, which got me a little mad.
- I was hungry
- Mom gave me a startled look. I'd broken one of our unspoken rules: We were always supposed to pretend our life was one long and incredibly fun adventure
- Her shoulders started shaking. I went over and touched her arm. She shook off my hand, and when she raised her head, her face was swollen and red.
- Mom?
- It's not my fault if you're hungry!Don't blame me. Do you think I like living like this? Do you?
- That night when Dad came home, he and Mom got into a big fight. Mom was screaming that she was tired of getting all the blame for everything that went wrong.
- How did this become my problem?" "Why aren't you helping? You spend your whole day at the Owl Club. You act like it's not your responsibility.
- I was trying to earn money!
- Next Morning..
- "That'll make Mom think we're taking Dad's side. "Let them work it out."
-
- You want me to beg from my mother again?
- The only thing to do when Mom and Dad fought was to pretend it wasn't happening or act like it didn't matter. Pretty soon they'd be friends again, kissing and dancing in each other's arms.

- Goddammit, Rose Mary!
- Tell them that we like eating margarine.Then maybe they'll stop fighting!
