Parents (2001)

Krystee Clark: Ashley

Quotes 

• Ashley : Mom, can you grow up and act your age for just once?

  Serena : You cannot talk to me like that. I am your mother!

  Ashley : My mother? I thought I was your best friend. Which one is it? Mother or best friend?

  Serena : Can't I be both?

  Ashley : No! Because I want a mother who tells me what to do. A mother who tells me to do my homework, to go to bed. I want a mother with her own life, her own friends. I don't want a mother who makes a fool of herself, flirting around with some guy who's half her age! I know it isn't all about me, but why does it have to be all about you?

• Ashley : [to Lucy]  You wouldn't understand. You have a mother. A real mother. Sometimes, I wish I had a real mother, too, not someone who would rather be my friend than my mother. Friends, I have. People to go to parties and dances with I have. A mother I don't have and haven't had since my parents got divorced. That's when my mother decided that she didn't want to be a mother anymore.

  Lucy Camden : I had no idea you felt this way. I thought you liked having a mother who was hip and cool and unmotherlike.

  Ashley : What's so hip and cool about being locked in some stranger's bathroom while your mother flirts and carries on with some guy who's too old for us and too young for her? Welcome to the dark side of having a hip and cool mom.
