Andy: I’ve always had this idea that my parents had this epic, amazing love story, that they were soulmates, meant to be. But what if they weren’t? What if they were just two messed up people who rushed into a family, and then one of them died?
Maya: Andy, do you think maybe it’s possible that you’re projecting your anxiety about your own marriage onto your parents?
Andy: Why can’t I just say something without someone writing if off as just... Can I… Can I just talk?
Maya: OK, OK, what are you talking about?
Andy: I’ve been going through my dad’s things, and I… I don’t know. I feel like… like maybe I didn’t even know who my dad was, like… like what do I actually know about Pruitt Herrera? He was… he was overbearing. He was… he was controlling. He was…
Maya: If he was controlling, it was only because he loved you.
Andy: Controlling because he loved you. That sounds like a Lifetime movie about a person who needs to escape.
Maya: Andy, you know who your dad was. We all do.
Andy: Do we, or do we just know the version of him that he wanted us to see?
Maya: No, no, you do not get to turn your dad into a bad guy. You won the lottery of dads, and now, just because he died, you are gonna tear down his memory ‘cause it’s easier than coping with the loss of him? No, I am not gonna stand by and watch you do that, not to my captain.
Andy: Not to your captain? Maya, he was my dad.
Maya: Yeah, and you should count yourself lucky.
