Transcript:
Alix: Did you know our mom was a river guide in college? Holly: Mom?! How did your life get so boring!? Eat, sleep, work... It's mindnumbing! How did you go from the spirited adventurer in that photograph to... this? Val: I had children. The bills started piling up. The rest is history. Holly: So, burdened by the inevitable adversities of life, your very soul slipped away bit by bit. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to be insensitive. Val: It's funny... one minute you're in a really good mood, the next minute you feel like driving the minivan off a cliff.
