MOM (small)

(cheerful, chatty, telling a cute story) "Oh, sweetie, that was your older brother's favorite flavor. I think he likes that brownie swirl now. And your favorite coffee? Oh, it's the one you heard Aunt Liz order one summer. You picked it and just ran with it. Oddly enough, that was her summer order. You know she drinks pumpkin spice everything in the fall. Poor woman's gonna turn into a pumpkin one fall, I swear."

(same warmth. She has no idea this is the worst thing she's ever said to him. Stay chatty and cheerful) "Whoever was nearest to you at the time, you just kinda went along with what they did. You just never complained. Honestly, you were my easiest child." Line 3

(flashback, hurried) "Son, just use mine, we have to leave in fifteen minutes. (beat) Carlo, please just use the other one."
