- Wendy Healy: So... how was your big chat with Maddie about that guy?
- Victory Ford: Uh... you know what? At the end of the day, I didn't feel like I needed to make a federal case out of it.
- Wendy Healy: Oh, you didn't? Hmm. 'Cause, it looked to me like they weren't planning on stopping anytime soon and that might have merited a little talk, but what do I know? I'm just her mother.
- Victory Ford: Okay look, so he might have been a little too old for her, but nothing bad happened, and it was really good for her self-esteem, so what's the harm?
- Wendy Healy: Maddie doesn't have a problem with self-esteem.
- Victory Ford: Uh... yeah, she kind of does. I've been helping her with it. You've been so self-involved with your personal life to even see the problem, even when it's right in front of you.
- Wendy Healy: All right, Cool Aunt. You should stop there and back off. Raising Maddie is my job. If she has a problem with having low self-esteem, I'll talk to her about it.
- Victory Ford: I don't think that's a good idea. Confronting her could only make it worse. Did it ever occur to you that you are part of the reason why Maddie doesn't feel totally good about herself?
- Wendy Healy: What?
- Victory Ford: Come on. Look at yourself. You're... eight-feet tall. You're gorgeous. People what to get to know you the minute you walk into a room. The five-foot tall, unattractive Maddie can't compete with that. I mean, try having that as a mom. Imagine your own mother getting all the attention and leaving you in her shadow.
- Wendy Healy: You don't know what you're talking about.
- Victory Ford: [sarcastic tone] Okay, yeah you're right. I'm not married. I don't have children. I don't know anything about life or love or feeling insecure. How could I possible know what I'm talking about?
