Betty in the parking lot
I’ve really been trying to write this since before people started talking about it in comments.
The Grown-Ups. Betty meets Henry Francis in the parking lot.
It was my second viewing of the episode–from the opening shot of the scene it was suddenly looking very familiar.
I believe it to be a bookend to Betty and Glen in the parking lot in the Wheel.
Betty: Glen?
Glen: I’m not supposed to talk to you.
Betty: Who says–who said that?
Glen: My mother and my father.
Betty: I don’t care.
Glen: My mother is going to come out.
Betty: I don’t care. Glen, I can’t talk to anyone. It’s so horrible. I’m so sad.
(Glen reaches his mittened hand out the window, Betty puts her gloved hand in his.)
Glen: Don’t cry.
Betty: Please. Please tell me I’ll be okay.
Glen: I don’t know. I wish I was older.
Betty: Oh adults don’t know anything, Glen.
Glen: I don’t really know how long twenty minutes is.
Betty: Of course dear. (more…)
