Scotty Valens and Lilly Rush in “Fly Away”

Scotty Valens

People make mistakes. They clean up.

Lilly Rush

Your mom ever forget to feed you 'cause she was too drunk or tired or out looking for a man?

Scotty Valens

[pause] Nah.

Lilly Rush

Toya's a dime a dozen. Unwanted kid. Mom runs out of food stamps, makes an excuse why there's no dinner tonight or, uh, no breakfast, either, so thank God for the free corn flakes at school, if you get there early, and maybe some kid'll give you scraps out of his lunch box later on.

Scotty Valens

So your mom was going through bad times.

Lilly Rush

Scotty, there was never a good time.
