"I haven't enjoyed one bite of this dinner because of your constant nagging.
"Laura where have you been going instead of school!?"
By: Tennessee Williams
Amanda and Tom have a huge fight over Amanda never letting Tom live his life. While he is trying his best to provide for the family.
"I’ve joined the Hogan Gang, I’m a hired assassin, I carry a tommy gun in a violin case!”
Amanda finds out that Laura has been lying about attending college. She dropped out after a week and has been going to museums and zoos instead.
“We are going to have one… A gentleman caller.”
After time it became apparent that the only thing Amanda wanted was a gentleman caller for her daughter. It was all she talked about. The perfect man for her daughter.
Amanda accuses Tom of not being home enough and lying about where he is going. He says he's going to the movies, but he goes almost everyday.
Laura told Tom to make up with their mother. His response was inviting a guy from work. He did this with the intentions of springing Laura on him. And hoping for the best.
