[first lines]
Shirley Lyner : Shirley Lyner. I'm a junior at Alfred E. Groves high school. This is my babysitting service. The answer is no: mom doesn't drink, dad didn't hit me, Uncle Steve never showed me his privates. I don't even have an Uncle Steve. The money is nice, and paid fellatio isn't that much more humiliating than flipping burgers. But that's not why I do it.

Brenda Woodberg : I can't do this anymore!

Shirley Lyner : Family problems.
Melissa Brown : Yeah, no shit.

Shirley Lyner : So... Should I add you to the roster or are you just a one-timer?
Nadine Woodberg : [pause] I'll do it again.
