(music in the background throughout the scene: You always hurt the one you love, the one you shouldn't hurt at all. You always pick the sweetest rose, crush it till the petals fall. You always break the kindest heart with a hasty word you can't recall. So if I broke your heart last night, it's because I love you most of all)

MAUDE: Look what you’re making me do, Dennis.

DENNIS: Mom, stop it.

MAUDE: How are you gonna leave now, huh? How are you gonna marry that streetwalker now? You are a *nothing* without *me*.

DENNIS: Mom, don’t do this. Please. This is crazy.

(…later…)

DENNIS: Oh, god. Mom, I can’t breathe. Please. Mom, let me out. Please mom. I’ll be good. I promise. I won’t leave. Mom, please let me out. I can’t breathe. Let me out!

MAUDE: This hurts me more than it hurts you. Good bye, Dennis. (She collapses with a heart attack.)
