SOFIA- “Addie, is that you coming down the stairs??”
ADRIEL- “Who else would it be mother?, it’s only you and I in this house. Smells good.”
SOFIA- “Do you always have to be a smartass Addie, I know it’s just the two of us here, make some coffee and only put 3/4 cup of grounds in the coffee maker. Any more that that and it tastes like shit.”
ADRIEL- “I know mother, you tell me the same thing every morning.”
SOFIA- “There you go again being a smartass. You must get that from your father, as I would have never spoke to my mother the way you speak to me. Set the table sweetheart, these are done. Don’t dilly dally, eggs are disgusting cold.”
ADRIEL- “Why do you insist on having me make a whole pot of coffee, the way YOU like it, but you never drink any. I only have one cup mother, that is such a waste.”
SOFIA- “Because I like the smell of it, and it also makes me feel good that we are working on breakfast together, like we used to.”
ADRIEL- “Mother, we never cooked together growing up. Grams did all the cooking.”
SOFIA- “God rest her soul. Eat you eggs before they get cold, son. Eggs are---
ADRIEL- I know!!! They are disgusting cold!”
SOFIA- “Adriel, do not use that tone with me. Plus you father is right there behind you. You know he don’t like it when you get that tone”
ADRIEL- “How about you just let me eat my eggs, before they get cold.”
SOFIA- “You had someone stop by while you were in the shower. So I invited them back tonight for dinner, so make sure your clients are out of the house by 5:00, understand?”
ADRIEL- “So who was it, David?”
SOFIA- “Lord, no!!! That boy is arrogant, Addie. I do not understand why you are seeing him. Plus he is a cop, that is a dangerous line of work.---”
ADRIEL- “Not in Oasis Springs mother, this isn’t LA. Who is coming to dinner.”
ADRIEL- WHAT!!!??? Mother why the hell ----
SOFIA- “Addie, your father is right behind you!!!”
