Melvin: You look lost my friend.Richard: I'm just having a little trouble with my daughter.Melvin: I didn't know you had a child.Richard: I didn't know I had a child. She just popped up out of nowhere. The least Aurura could have done was told me she was pregnant before she left.Melvin: I understand troubled times. Is she not warming up to you?Richard: I belive so, but that's not the issue. She sits in her room and does nothing other than play video games.Melvin: She's a kid, they do things like that.

while pouring coffee): What the...what time is it?

Richard: No fucking

abandonment issues two hours ago. Oh, oh man. I really dropped the

Julie: Should I let

Richard (chuckles):
No, no. It'll be funny.. Mia!

(silence)

Richard:

Julie: What would
you like this morning?

Richard: Uh... I

the first day with you in nothing but my underwear and robe!
