I begin explaining how we became separated and how my mother, who was also abused by your parents, raised me and made sure to go into detail about all of our past experiences, who we've met, etc.

Maria Bartiromo: paces back and forth, occasionally glancing at her notes Alright, let's see if I've got this straight. Your mother and I...
OceanOracle
Yeah, your parents abused her because she was Italian and made her leave you behind so she could get away. My mom fell in love with you so she kidnapped you and raised you as her own, since I was a baby when she kidnapped me, I don't remember much from before I was 2.

Maria Bartiromo: raises an eyebrow, a mix of intrigue and skepticism on her face Kidnapped, huh? And your mother fell in love with me? That's quite the twist. What makes you think I have any part in this?
OceanOracle
Well, your parents were abusive and neglected. My mom wasn't a very good cook so that could have been a factor. Also, there was this time when you were 13 and I was 1. You were at a restaurant with your parents and we ran into each other. You really wanted me to go home with you, but my mom got in a huge fight with your parents and you got left behind.
