Only God could explain why you stayed here with me, and your brothers and sisters didn't. It must have been all that praying I did during the pregnancy with you. Do you know I didn't even smoke? Imagine being that preoccupied that you forget to even light up a cigarette every once in a while. My stomach was tied in such knots, and...I was so steeped in all my prayers that I couldn't even force down a highball. I mean, if it wasn't for food, I would've wasted away to nothing; and of course, through everything that was going on through my mind, I never had time to horseback ride or go on a roller coaster. And that trampoline out back, that practically went to waste. With all that lack of exercise, it's a wonder you were ever born at all.
Mom, are you telling me that you're trying to tell me that I'm not your precious, only ever?
Well, you're my precious, only, living ever. By default.
You lied to me!
No!
You lied to me, Mommy! I'm not going to be your precious, only, living ever any more!
No! Clarence, come back! I mean, Clay!
