RUTH ( scoff ): Mia , you can ’ t be so nice to people all the time … MIA ( indignantly ): Why not ? RUTH ( shakes head , dry laugh ): Your parents wouldn ’ t want me for one .
MIA : Ruth , everyone has always known what your mom is like . I talked to my mom about this a while ago . She completely understands , and isn ’ t hesitant to have you stay with us .
RUTH : Are you sure ? MIA : Positive .
( Moment of silence ) RUTH : Mia , you are my light in the dark . MIA ( smiling back at Ruth ): And you ’ re mine , Ruth .
( Mia stands up , and offers her hand to Ruth . Ruth looks at it , smiles , take it , and the girls walk off stage together .)
