Ellen: What do you think it means to be well adjusted?

Sally: Is that one of your goals?

Ellen: It might be.

Sally: How close do you think you are to achieving it?

Ellen: The fact that you didn’t just tell me that I already am tells me I’m still a ways off.

Sally: Don’t make me the final judge.

Ellen: Wouldn’t that be fun. If there was a final judge?

Sally: A lot of people think there is.

Ellen: And God said to the woman, “You may not enter my kingdom, you’re not yet well adjusted.”

Sally: You’re right, that would be funny.

Ellen: There’s a lot of things to adjust to, and they’re always changing.

Sally: Isn’t that life?

Ellen: Annoying, I know. But what do you think it means?

Sally: I’m looking it up now.

Ellen: No, no, not the dictionary definition…shit maybe you’re well adjusted. Is that what well adjusted people do, they just accept the dictionary definition?

Sally: In fact, we do.

Ellen (in a Boston accent): You think you’re better than me?

Sally: I can’t take you seriously.

Ellen: Because I’m not well adjusted.

Sally: Exactly.
