What does Ivy mean in this exchange?
Early in the 1992 movie Poison Ivy, Ivy (Drew Barrymore's character) has the following exchange with Darryl Cooper (Tom Skerritt):
Darryl: Where do you live?
Ivy: My aunt gets money for letting me stay there.
Darryl: I get the picture.
What is the picture that Darryl gets? Why is Ivy's aunt paid to let her stay with her?
Best Answer
Darryl is a wealthy TV executive who pays for his daughter to attend a prep school. Ivy is from the "other side of the tracks", whose aunt receives a welfare check because she is fostering her niece. Ivy attends the same school, we assume through a scholarship of some kind.
