浪漫 Romance
DORIS: I liked meeting your boyfriend at the party. I think he seems like a good guy.
JUDY: I'm glad you like him. Steve and I get along well.
DORIS: He's very funny.
JUDY: Sometimes I think he's too funny. He's like a clown.
DORIS: How long have you been going out?

And me, I wouldn't tolerate my parents telling me what to do. I'm an adult.
DORIS: You are very independent.
JUDY: Why shouldn't I be? Who I go out with is my business, not my father's.
If he doesn't like someone I like, then he will tell me.
But if I go out with the guy or not, that's my choice.
Do you want to marry someone your parents choose for you?
DORIS: My parents want me to marry a doctor or a lawyer.
They are happy I got into such a good school.
JUDY: See what I mean? Maybe the guy you fall in love with isn't a doctor.
Then what? Are you going to choose someone just to please your parents?
DORIS: No, I wouldn't. It's true my
