You look a little morose, honey. What's eating you?

JUNO

I'm losing my faith in humanity.

MAC

Think you can narrow it down for me.

JUNO

I guess I wonder sometimes if people ever stay together for good.

MAC

You mean like couples?

JUNO

Yeah, like people in love.

MAC

Are you having boy trouble? I gotta be honest; I don't much approve of you dating in your condition, 'cause. . . . well, that's kind of messed up.

JUNO

Dad, no!

MAC

Well, it's kind of skanky. Isn't that what you girls call it? Skanky? Skeevy?

JUNO

Please stop now.

MAC (persisting)

Tore up from the floor up?

JUNO

Dad, it's not about that. I just need to know that it's possible for two people to stay happy together forever. Or at least for a few years.

MAC

It's not easy, that's for sure. Now, I may not have the best track record in the world, but I have been with your stepmother for ten years now, and I'm proud to say that we're very happy.

Juno nods in agreement

MAC (CONT'D)

In my opinion, the best thing you can do is to find a person who loves you for exactly what you are. Good mood, bad mood, ugly, pretty, handsome, what have you, the right person will still think that the sun shines out your ass. That's the kind of person that's worth sticking with.

A wave of REALIZATION crosses Juno's face.

JUNO

I sort of already have.

MAC

Well, of course. Your old D-A-D! You know I'll always be there to love and support you, no matter what kind of pickle you're in.

He nods toward her belly.

MAC

Obviously.
