  Tiffany Malloy : [from behind thick curtain of hair]  Don't look at me! And spare me your false pity! I want real pity, I'm deformed!

  Jennie Malloy : [soothing]  Oh, honey, let me have a look.

  [brushes away hair] 

  Jennie Malloy : Oh, why, you can hardly see it. Jack, come tell her how tiny it is.

  Jennie Malloy : [sighs]  The pimple, Jack.

  Jack Malloy : Yeah, the pimple. Very funny.

  [sobs] 

  Jennie Malloy : [looking her daughter's slim figure up and down]  Where?

  Tiffany Malloy : Oh my God! I'm a pimply, fat girl!

  Ryan Malloy : [gleefully]  Maybe you're pregnant.

  Tiffany Malloy : [huffily]  I happen to be a virgin.
