MPUP: Do you have ten bucks I can borrow?
WBM: I thought your co-pay was fifteen.
MPUP: It is, but I have five bucks that I forgot to give back to my Mom.
WBM: So you're stealing from your own mother?
MPUP: I don't think of it as stealing. I see it more as a down payment on reparations for a disappointing childhood.
