Spoiler:
*The parents meet Todd. Todd leaves the room, leaving Keller with her parents...*
Mom (eyes follow Todd as he leaves the room. She whispers to Jennifer): "He looks a little peaked. Is he well, dear?"
Keller: "Yes, mom, he's fine. That's just his complexion..."
Dad: "Green? Green is his complexion? No one is 'green'..."
Mom: "Oh, honey...he's not green. He has an olive complexion. He's probably Italian." (She looks at her daughter) "Italians are nice, dear, but...isn't he a little old for you? He looks a little old for you..."
Dad: "He looks like a goddarn freak, that's what he looks like. Probably in one of those rock bands..."
Keller: "He's not in a rock band..."
Dad: "Well, he looks like a hippie. Needs a damn haircut, too."
Mom: "Your father's right. His hair is a bit long, and you know how your grandparents feel about long hair on boys."
Dad: "And what's with the dress?"
Keller: "It's not a dress...it's a coat."
Dad: "Looks like a dress. Are you sure he even likes girls? I mean..."
Keller: "Yes, daddy. He likes girls. He likes ME. See, where he comes from, everyone looks like that."
Mom: "And where's that, dear?"
Keller: "Uhhhh...France?"
Dad: "Well, that explains a lot. Must be one of those 'artiste' types. Probably paints nudes, and bowls of fruit. Does he even have a job?"
Keller: "Yes, he's, ummmm...a commander...of his own ship..."
Mom: "Oh, wonderful! A sailor! You're father was a sailor when we met! So handsome he was in uniform, too! And that must explain the tattoo. All sailors have tattoos. This is just so wonderful! Another sailor in the family."
Keller: "Well, he's not exactly in the navy..."
Mom: "That doesn't matter, sweetie. A sailor is a sailor - a man of the sea. They speak their own language, they have their own lore. Men and the sea, SO romantic! I read books about them all the time, in fact, I'm reading one now...it's about..."
*Everyone falls quiet as Todd re-enters the room and takes his seat beside Keller*
Todd: "I trust I am not interrupting anything..."
Mom: "Certainly not! I was just telling my lovely daughter here about an enthralling book I'm reading, called In the Heart of the Sea."
Keller (suddenly panicked): "Mom, maybe you shouldn't..."
Mom: "Don't interrupt dear. It is quite a story, one any sailor would enjoy." (Turns to Todd, in earnest) "You see, it's about the survivors of a whaling ship, and how they had to eat one another in order to survive...can you imagine?! Having to eat a human being?! Could you ever??!"
