You've got to be kidding. No, I don't wanna rent a porta-potty for my Sweet Sixteen party. I can't imagine any of my friends using a porta-potty. Why wouldn't they use our bathroom? It's not like we don't have one.\u003cbr\u003e(beat) Oh, I get it. \u003ci\u003eYou\u003c\/i\u003e want to rent the porta-potty. Yes, I know you have a thing about people using your \u003ci\u003erestroom.\u003c\/i\u003e I understand your feelings, (beat) but this is my party. Mine. And you have to understand me. How am I gonna tell my friends they have to go outside to use a two-by-two construction workers' stink john when we have a perfectly good bathroom inside? A porta-potty at my birthday party? My friends are gonna be wearing dresses and heels. Some guys will have rented a tux. How would I ever go to school again? How? Everybody would laugh. Is that what you want?\u003cbr\u003eI respect\u003ci\u003e you\u003c\/i\u003e 'cause you tell me to. Now you have to \u003ci\u003erespect me\u003c\/i\u003e. (beat) Laughing is not respect. I'm sixteen already. Almost. I deserve some consideration. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e(beat) I'll sanitize our real bathroom if that's the issue. After the party, when all the guests go home. (beat) I will \u003ci\u003etoo\u003c\/i\u003e clean it. I clean things. (beat) Well, things. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e(beat) I don't care if couples rent them for weddings. I don't care if the porta-potty is deluxe and has a skylight. I don't care if the porta-potty's got wood floors or carpeting or comes with a big-screen TV. (beat) I'm sure all of my friends are, um, well, \"healthy.\" Because I'm sure, that's all. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e(beat) Where would we even get a porta-potty? VIP Restroom Rentals? Seven hundred and fifty dollars? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOkay. Okay, Mom. Forget it. (\u003ci\u003esarcastic\u003c\/i\u003e) I'll be sure to write, \"Please pee at home\" on the invite. (beat) No, Mom, I am \u003ci\u003enot\u003c\/i\u003e serious about the \"pee at home\" comment. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e(beat) Maybe I don't want a party after all.
