LUKE: Your son. Does he talk yet?

MAYA: He makes funny sounds. He can almost say mamma. I think he knows how to say cookie, too.

LUKE: All the important stuff.

MAYA: Sometimes he’ll point to a light and say lyy! Lyy! It’s almost light, but not really.

LUKE: Tiny toes.

MAYA: They call it Antrophony.
