You don't deserve it, and here's why.[Matter-of-factly, not finding this something to joke about at all.] The best kind of woman. A woman who won't let herself be used by anyone, especially a man. You are very kind, but also very strong. You see things no one else sees. You do things for others that no one else wants to bother with. Did you know that makes you the best kind of woman?
[He puts a hand on her shoulder.] Sorry. I felt that needed to be said because I'm realizing that I know the best kind of women. I was raised by one and now I live with one. Despite all of these memories I didn't want to have today, I'm thinking that perhaps I'm luckier than I thought. Maybe this is the lesson I am supposed to learn with all the bad things that have happened in my life. That even though I think I'm a piece of shit, I deserve good things too... Something like that, anyway.
