I realize that you'd like it a lot better if Luis and I came along and did all of this
for you, but we're doing the best we can from long distance.
I know you're fight-phobic and disinclined to assert yourself, Ashley, but you can do this. Be pleasant but firm. You're a grown-up, girl, despite how you may feel sometimes, and I know you can do this. You have it in you.
It's
your car. Assert your right to have it YOUR way.
Can you do this? Tell the truth, now.
We can pump you up some more if necessary.
