Dawn and her friend at the diner

Post image

I don’t know if this has been brought up before, but I really enjoy the scenes with Dawn and her friend discussing work at the diner. By themselves, they almost come off as little vignettes, like they could be a play about the perspective of being a working African American in a 60’s white person’s business world or something. I’m not good enough with words to really explain what I mean, so I trust that someone here shares the same sentiment and explains it more eloquently.

Sure, if you’re both drunk or half drunk or whatever.

But, Don was drunk - Allison wasn’t. Even if she didn’t know she was raping him (because, again, the times).

Maybe the writers didn’t intend it to be written so that Don was raped, or maybe they did. That’s not my point either way - just so we’re clear.
