Trixie: You know what? this works out better for me. You know, the stallions this summer come to my show wearing next to nothing, you know what I’m saying?
Starlight: Trixie, it’s all right to be angry.
Trixie: Hey, why should I be mad? I’m sayin’ at least he said goodbye this time. I just wish I hadn’t wasted my bits buyin’ this stupid present! (furiously yanks the gift out of her saddlebag and places it on the table)
Starlight: I’m… I’m sorry. You know, if there was something that I could…
Trixie: (gradually getting angrier) Hey, you know what? You ain’t got to do nothing, Starlight. You know, It ain’t like I’m still five years old, you know? Ain’t like I’m gonna be sittin’ up every night askin’ my mom “When is Daddy comin’ home?” You know? Who needs him? Hey, he wasn’t there to teach me how to do my first card trick, but I learned, didn’t I? And I got pretty good at it, too, didn’t I, Starlight?
Starlight: Yeah, you did.
Trixie: Got through my first magic show without him, right? I learned how to Dazzle the crowds, I learned how to Pull a wagon, I learned how to prepare my props without him, I had FOURTEEN great birthdays without him! He never even sent me a damn card. TO HELL WITH HIM!
(Starlight breathes shakily)
Trixie: I didn’t need him then and I don’t need him now.
Starlight: Trixie?
Trixie: No, you know what, Starlight? I’ma get through Friendship university without him, I’ma get a great job without him, I’ma marry me a Handsome Stud and I’m havin’ me a whole bunch of kids. I’ma be a better parent than he ever was! And I sure as hell don’t need him for that, cause ain’t a damn thing he could ever teach me about how to love my kids!
(Trixie begins to tear up)
Trixie: why doesnt he want me, Starlight?!
(She and Starlight embrace, Trixie quietly crying into Starlights shoulders)
Beautiful adaptation

Amen.

Ah yes, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. I’ve seen that moment in the show and it really hits you.
