Here's another scene that develops Carol's character rather effectively. Carol seems to me to be a perfectionist. She is very envious of a doctor's wife. She'd really love to have that for herself and is sobbing up a storm because she can't get it. She gets explosively angry when her mother tries to talk to her about it.
All her Mom wants is to go out and celebrate a lucky break that her daughter just can't seem to appreciate. Fortunately for Carol, she says okay.
The thing here that I want to comment upon is that this is Hollywood. It has a happy ending. Life doesn't have happy endings, sadly...
Carol's really good fortune was to have a down-to-Earth mother who could step in and help her when she really needed it. The real world doesn't offer such breaks generally speaking. If you are going to accomplish anything, you may have to do it on your own. That may prove to be impossible. My own point of view, for what it's worth.
