One thing about Laurie Forman is that she does not give a fuck what anyone thinks about her.
Well, anyone except her father, Red.
For so long, she tried to maintain an image of innocence and perfection for him, which was all shattered one day when he found out she'd been shacking up with a guy he luckily didn't know was married. Five years later, the phrase, "Who's gonna buy the cow when they get the milk for free?" still echoes in her head. If only he knew just how devilish she
really
is, Laurie thinks to herself, he'd probably have a second heart attack. The fucked up thing, though, is that part of her
wants
him to know. The exhibitionist in her. The succubus. The seducer of older, married men. She wants to be seen in a certain light by the one man she's always kept in the dark. Alas, he can never even know about it, otherwise she wouldn't be his princess anymore. He'd see her as cheap, like everyone else in town does.
Yeah, Laurie's a homewrecker, and that part she knows is wrong, even if she doesn't care, but there's nothing wrong with her sleeping around with single men. It's total bullshit that guys can chase tail however much they want, high-five each other when they score, then turn around and call the chicks that they slept with sluts. Worse yet, that women refer to each other as such.
Even Donna, the self-proclaimed feminist, demonizes women freely exploring and expressing their sexualities, and why...? All due ironically to managing said expression around how she thinks it'll affect the guy involved. If Laurie's younger brother, Eric, behaves the way Donna wants, Donna puts out. If Eric misbehaves, Donna
holds
out. Whether or not Donna herself is horny rarely matters to her. Honestly, both Laurie and Donna use sex as a manipulative tool. The only difference is that Laurie at least gets to satisfy her own libido, which is probably too high for Donna to even wrap her head around.
Anyway, at twenty-three, Laurie wishes it were possible for Red to know her true nature without judging her five times as harshly as he would everyone else, but since that would undoubtedly be the case, she has to play the role of innocent angel for the rest of his life.
Deep down, of course, Red has always known Laurie's not as innocent as she makes herself out to be, even if not to the extent of utterly debauched he's about to discover.
With Hyde currently out of the house, his room in the basement is available for Red to hide away in from his wife, Kitty, and take a little nap, which he's just awoken from by the sound of footsteps on the staircase followed by voices.
Laurie's and Eric's.
"Hey, loser."
"Well, if it isn't my sister, Whorey--I mean, Laurie."
Red rolls his eyes at the joke, agreeing with Laurie when she apathetically says, "Get some new lines."
