"I PICKED UP SOME composers for your mom. I don't know if she'll like them, though, but I listen to them all the time."
"Great. Perfect. They ran out of her perfume so I'll have to get it later."
"Which one is it?"
"This one by Givenchy."
"Every year?"
"Every year what?"
"You buy her the same one every year?"
"What's wrong with that? She'll always smell the same."
"That is surprisingly romantic for someone who doesn't believe in romance."
"I never said I didn't believe in romance. Why, is it wrong? Should I get her another scent? I don't know what she likes though."
"Don't worry about it. I find it cute."
"Great."
"Let's go get her that spa set. What about your dad? What do you usually get him for his birthday?"
"He's not in my life."
"Oh."
"No, that's fine. He left pretty early on and my uncle's always been a dad to me."
"I see."
"You see what, Mila? Ugh you're starting to become like Jeremy."
"Sorry. Impulse. That's nice, though. How much you care about your mom. You said she's a nurse, right? She must be tired."
"She's getting her degree and training to be a surgeon so she's really busy these days."
"I've never seen her."
"She's...young? She had me at seventeen."
"That's like me having a child now."
"Not everything's about you, Mila."
"No, I'm serious. She raised you and she's doing what she loves. That's incredible."
"Yeah. I know."
"Good. I hope you tell her everyday."
"I tell her how amazing it must be having a baby that turned out like me."
