Should we just enjoy a fag? And not do any sniping for a bit? Or have you come to get some attention?
Me? Attention from you? Oh, no. That ship sailed long ago.
Yeah, I might have been a bit of a spotty mother but you've been a shitty daughter, so...
You weren't a spotty mother, you were just... an absence. But I'm fine.
I moved back to bloody New York so I could be near you, and I never fucking saw you!
Mom! It's okay. It's... fine. You let Dad take us and it was probably best.
I gave him custody so you could keep your shares and I could protect your interests. You chose. "I'll have the carbonara and Daddy, please."
I didn't choose anything.
You tend to get what you want anyway.
And you don't?
I don't think I've ever won a single battle in my whole life.
Hmm. I was ten, Mom. I was a fucking kid.
You were thirteen. And you knew how to twist the knife. You knew then, and you know now. And I might cry.
Oh, yeah, where's the onion?
You were quite a piece of work. You were my onion. You are my onion.
Yeah, well, you're my fucking onion.
Truth is, I probably should never have had children. You made the right decision. Some people just aren't made to be mothers. I should've had dogs.
Well, you coulda had dogs.
No, not with your father. He never saw anything he loved that he didn't wanna kick it just to see if it would still come back.
