      • Mrs. Connelly: I couldn't help noticing that Alex left the house this morning while you stayed home.
      • Nancy Kendricks: I was downsized from my job.
      • Mrs. Connelly: Oh, I'm sorry, but I'm sure it's for the best. Let Mr. Rose get out there and bring home the bacon. I always thought it was strange your husband staying home while you were out there providing.
      • Nancy Kendricks: Well, he's a writer.
