Love and Attention

A lovely little exchange from the film Lady Bird.

Nun: You clearly love Sacramento.
Lady Bird: I do?
Nun: You write about Sacramento so affectionately and with such care.
Lady Bird: Well, I was just describing it.
Nun: Well, it comes across as love.
Lady Bird: Sure, I guess I pay attention.
Nun: Don’t you think maybe they are the same thing — love and attention?
