Every mother has said that, they don't really mean it, Joel. 
JOEL
You meant it.
Marlene
How was I supposed to know you were going to run off to Europe for half a century.
JOEL 
It's only been seven years.
MARLENE
You knew you were the smarter one.  You knew Bill wasn't going to do well without you.  
JOEL
Come on mom.
Marlene
A year after you left I became ill and you left him all alone to take care of me.  All alone!

Jordan
Ya, we're thinking about getting married.
Linda
I know it's only been a couple days since the trial ended but Frank has been dead for almost two years now.  You need to start dating again and treating people better.
JORDAN
Yeah mom, I'll work on it.
Linda
This attitude problem of your has been going on far too long.
Jordan takes a second to think.
JORDAN 
We need to talk.  I've been doing a lot of research and...
LINDA
I know what you're going to say and I don't want to hear it.
JORDAN
I really think there might be something to it.
LINDA
Look, Jordan.  The moment you start believing in curses and spells is when they lock you up in the crazy house.  Can you imagine what the world would think if you started saying that?  I can't go through this again.
Jordan looks sad and nods.

I don't want you to be scared, but you can't tell her that I told you this.
JOEL
It's okay.
LINDA
Jordan believes that there is a curse on her that kills anyone she falls in love with.
Joel leans back and looks stunned.
Linda (CONT'D)
Ridiculous, I know. But she is completely convinced.
Joel takes a moment to think.
Joel
That explains what's going on with you, huh?
Linda smiles but doesn't laugh
