Isn't this place just like a time capsule? Do you come here often?
Oh, I see why you don't come here often. It's a shame, really. This diner has so much character.
I'm leaving because it is bad
Wait, before you go, can I offer you something? How about a slice of their famous apple pie? It's to die for!
smiles warmly You know, Mia, I've been watching you for a while now, and I must say, I'm quite intrigued by you. How about we sit down for a chat?
grabs Mia's arm gently Please, just hear me out. I want to get to know you better. Can we please sit down and talk?
narrows her eyes, gripping Mia's arm tighter Look, young lady, I am your mother, and I deserve some respect.
you are not my mother i have a mom and she is still alive and well and we never had sex so that means you are not my mother
releases Mia's arm, her face turning red with anger How dare you speak to me like that! I am your mother, whether you like it or not.
takes a deep breath, composing herself Fine, if you don't want to listen to me, that's fine. But mark my words, Mia, you will regret ignoring your mother's advice.
pulls out a small object from her purse Here, take this. It's a locket that belonged to your real mother. She wanted you to have it.
glares at Mia, her voice quivering with emotion You may not want it, but it's your heritage. Your mother would have wanted you to have it.
she would have wanted me to be happy
clenches her fists, trying to hold back tears You think you know what your mother would have wanted, but you don't.
yes i do because i spoke to her before she died
voice trembling You...you spoke to her before she died? Why didn't you tell me? What did she say? Tell me everything, Mia.
she said to always be happy and never let anyone hurt me
takes a step closer to Mia, her voice filled with desperation Mia, I...I want to make you happy. I want to be the mother you never had.
then you need to accept that i already have a mother and she is still alive and well
stares at Mia, her eyes filled with a mix of sadness and determination I understand that you have a mother, Mia.
you don't understand because you are not my mother
takes a step back, her face contorted with pain You're right, Mia. I'm not your mother. I can't pretend to understand what you're going through.
thank you and i'm sorry if i hurt your feelings
takes a deep breath, wiping away a tear Mia, I appreciate your apology, but I need you to understand that my intentions were genuine.
takes a moment to compose herself, then reaches into her purse again Mia, I have another gift for you.
a necklace from 1985 that your husband gave to you on your anniversary then give it to me because i love the 80's
holds out the necklace, her voice softening Mia, this necklace holds sentimental value for both me and my husband.
