ZUCCHINI
Come on

ZUCCHINI
I got you a present. For your birthday.

CAMILLE
But my birthday was three months ago!

ZUCCHINI
I know. But.. We didn't know each other back then. So I couldn't have made you a gift. Here

CAMILLE
Wow, how'd you know my birthday was three months ago?

ZUCCHINI
I sort of snuck into Mis Papineau's office.

CAMILLE
So you know everything. All right, then.

ZUCCHINI
Well, I... yeah

CAMILLE
After my parents died, I went to live with my aunt. She's the one who brought me here. She pretends to be so nice, but she's just cruel. She's always yelling at me. But now, this feels like home.

ZUCCHINI
Sometimes, I dream that my mom's alive. And I'm all grown up. She keeps talking at the TV and drinking beer. And in the dream, I drink a lot, too. That's why I'm glad I was brought here. That won't happen.

CAMILLE
I'm happy I was brought here. Otherwise, I wouldn't have met you.
