Terrifically Carol:
[Nancy is ordering a gift basket by phone to be delivered that night, because it's Silas' birthday. She's talking to the operator] Now, what would you like the card to say?

Nancy Botwin:
[Nancy doubts for a while] Mmmm, Dear Silas: Happy Birthday. Happy 18th Birthday... Um... Don't write "um"... I think you're an amazing son. I'm so proud to be your mom... "Be your mom". Jesus, that sounds like bullshit, doesn't it? [She laughs] Um... [Ironic] Dear Silas: If you never see me again, I've probably been murdered. Enjoy the dried apricots and butter cookies.

Terrifically Carol:
[Interrupts Nancy] The Sterling Celebration doesn't come with butter cookies, but if you like to add them, I certainly can do that.

Nancy Botwin:
[Anoyed while Carol is still talking] Yeah... can you stop talking for a second? Could yoy please be quiet and listen? Just listen.

Terrifically Carol:
[after an awkward silence] I'm listening.

Nancy Botwin:
Starting over. Dear Silas... umm... thank for raising yourself these past 18 years. You... you've done a great job.

Terrifically Carol:
[Silence. Nancy looks really sad, thinking about where she's going and the choice she've made] Ms. Botwin? Are you okay, Ms. Botwin?

Nancy Botwin:
[Nancy cannot speak. She tries to a few times, but can't. Says no with her head] Silas... you are loved. Me. Signed it "me".

Terrifically Carol:
Just "me"?

Nancy Botwin:
Yeah, "me". No, "mom". "Me, mom". Please get that for him tonight. Thanks, Carol.

Terrifically Carol:
You take care, Ms. Bowtin.
