Mother : [taking Karen's measurements] Waist, 28, thighs, 20.
Karen : Why do you need thighs?
Mother : For the pants suit, the hip hugger.
Karen : I thought we decided against the hip hugger.
Mother : The pants suit's adorable, you can't just wear long dresses, Karen, I don't care what you read about the midi or the maxi.
Karen : I will NOT wear the hip hugger thing, Mother, it makes me look really fat.
Mother : [laughs] Fat! I swear, ever since that stupid columnist called you, hardy or something.
Karen : They called me chubby.
Mother : Whatever, chubby, you have just been so fanatical about your weight. I mean that thing really went to your head.
Karen : Oh it did not, I just want to start watching what I eat.
Mother : Karen, you lost plenty of weight on the Stillman diet and you look just fine now, alright? Now that's all I want to hear on the subject, you just concentrate on your career.
Karen : That's what I AM doing, but you've got to look good in my career.
