Dan. Her father and mother are sitting in the kitchen and having supper.

Jane. Mom, where’s my new dress? I can’t find it. I have to hurry because I must be in time.

Mother. It’s in your closet. Look there.

Father. Are you going out with Dan tonight? You have school tomorrow.

Jane. I’m not going to stay late. Dan and I are going to party.

Father. Oh. No you aren’t. Your marks were terrible last semester --- 6 in English and 5 in Maths. And you have to get up early for school tomorrow.

Jane. But, Dad, I finished all my homework tonight.

Father. You spent about half an hour on your homework. Sit down and study an hour more. No dates on school nights.

Jane. But Mom gave me a permission to go out tonight.

Mother. Well, dear. Today’s Dan’s birthday.

Father. Well, all right. But in the future no dates on school nights. And don’t stay out late tonight.

Jane. OK. Dad. What time do I have to be home?

Father. Tell Dan that he has to bring you home at 10:00/

Jane. Why at 10:00? Dad, I’m 16. my friends don’t have to be home so early. Kathy doesn’t have to be home until 12:00. Mom, do I have to come in so early?

Mother. I agree with your father. When I was your age, I had to be home at 9.

Jane. Oh, Mom. That was a hundred years ago. Things are different now.

Father. Don’t talk to your mother that way! And wait a minute—what about the dishes, young lady? You have to wash them before you go out.

Jane. The dishes! Why do I have to wash the dishes? Kathy didn’t have to wash dishes when she was high school.

Father.  I don’t care about Kathy.

Jane. But I don’t have time now. I have to get ready.

Father. No dishes, no dates.

Jane. Oh, all right.
