The screenplay:
Mother and daughter at odds. Mother demanding but grateful of her child. Child is an adult but morphs into a 10 year old around mentioned Mother.

Plot:
Mother falls at daughters house. Claims to have "hurt her back end." Pain only flares when Mother asked to do anything aka move from in front of tv. Daughter finally tries to call bluff and take her to Urgent Care in evening. Mother refuses. Daughter then does bait and switch "Wanna go for a frappacino @ Starbucks?" Mother SPRINTS athletically to door with 20lb "cottontop" required handbag filled with hankies and mints. Daughter drives straight to medical center.
Daughter cowers when Mother belittles nurse after she fumbles the Dr's name and tells her huffily "she'd better learn it.fast." Daughter imagines nurse shed small tear in supply room.

more to come...
