dialogue: Deena: Elaine's back from school. I think it might be a nice gesture if you asked her out. I suppose she's not good enough for you, is that it?
  Elaine: Look, Elaine Robinson and I do not get along.
  Deena: How do you know? You haven't seen her since high school. I guess your evenings, whatever you do with them, are just too valuable.
  Elaine: That has nothing to do with it. . .
  Deena: I guess I'll just have to tell Mr. Robinson that you're too busy every evening, doing God knows what. . . God don't go on like this. If you absolutely refuse to take her out. . .
  Elaine: I do.
  Deena: Then I will simply have to invite all the Robinson's over for dinner on Thursday.
summary: Deena tells Elaine to ask Elaine Robinson out but Elaine refuses, so Deena resorts to inviting the Robinson's over for dinner.
