DALE
NAYELI Lot of people think I ’ m a mess . They have no problem coming up to me and telling me so . Especially when I got E with me .
DALE They don ’ t know what they ’ re talking about .
You think you ’ re a mess ?

NAYELI
DALE
NAYELI Worthless ? They made us watch a video in health class – how babies are made . Like a scientific video , not , you know , people doing it . It ’ s basically a miracle . The odds of the exact combination that made us is like really a miracle . How can any of us be worthless if we ’ re all miracles ?
Don ’ t do this , Nayeli .
GRACIE
