Mrs. Schmidt:
Are you sure I can't help?

Theodore 'Ted' Schmidt:
I can do it. It's no big deal.

Mrs. Schmidt:
I wish you'd let me drive you home.

Theodore 'Ted' Schmidt:
Ah... I already asked my friends.

Mrs. Schmidt:
Michael, Emmett... Brian. I met them while you were... asleep.

Theodore 'Ted' Schmidt:
Oh.

Mrs. Schmidt:
They're very nice. Especially Michael.

Theodore 'Ted' Schmidt:
Yeah, Michael is... especially special.

Mrs. Schmidt:
Are you two...? I mean...

Theodore 'Ted' Schmidt:
Oh, no. No. We, ah... He's just a friend.

Mrs. Schmidt:
Well, he's a very good friend. He was very kind to me. I'm grateful you have him.

Theodore 'Ted' Schmidt:
Yeah, so am I.

Mrs. Schmidt:
Because more than anything, I worry that you're alone. That there's no one to look after you.

Theodore 'Ted' Schmidt:
I can take care of myself.

Mrs. Schmidt:
Oh, I know you can. You've always been self-sufficient. I just... I wish you had someone to love you. And if you did, maybe this wouldn't have happened.

Theodore 'Ted' Schmidt:
Mom, please, let's uh...

Mrs. Schmidt:
I'm sorry. I know that it embarrasses you if I talk too much or I get too emotional. But I can't help thinking that, if you haven't woken up, and I would have never gotten a chance to let you know, how proud I am that you're my son. And that... it doesn't matter to me what you are. Yeah I got over that a long time ago. And that whenever you're feeling alone, or that no one loves you; it's not true. Because I do!

Theodore 'Ted' Schmidt:
[long pause] Thank you, Mom for eh... for saying that.
