William: Don't blow it because tonight your mother promised to make us her world-famous salmon⁷ surprise with chocolate cake for dessert. Max, you'll be here too, right?

Chloe: She's never leaving me!

William: That makes all of us.

Chloe: Max, you are being so fucking strange, like you're never going to see us again.
