outgoing call: Joan Grande
Joan
Ari? Is that you? How are you, mio caro?
Ariana
I could be better, thank you for asking.
Joan
I tried to call you when everything was happening.
Ariana
Mom... why do you think I didn't pick up?
Joan
Ari...
Ariana
No! You don't get to do that!
Joan
Do what? I wasn't trying to -
Ariana
You don't get to guilt trip me!
You don't get to turn those years against me!
I'm not the one at fault.
Joan
Ari, I tried really hard to rebuild our relationship.
I really tried to make an effort!
But you wouldn't let me get near you!
I wasn't the one who closed myself off.
Ariana
You weren't sexually harassed by Dan fucking Schneider!
You weren't harassed daily by directors and stage crew
You aren't emotionally and psychologically scarred till this day!
You didn't have to suffer through depression and PTSD!
AND YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO LOOK AT YOUR OWN MOTHER AS SHE BLATANTLY IGNORED YOU!
Joan
...
Ariana
I told you. I told you everything that happened, and you didn't believe me.
I can't believe that's how desperate you were to have me become a star - that you would turn such a blind eye!
I'm your only daughter for crying out loud!
Joan
...
Ariana
Nothing to say, huh?
I should've expected that much from you
