Teenage Samantha Strange : [entering, tipsy] Erica, are you drunk...?
Erica Strange : No. Why?
Teenage Samantha Strange : Good, 'cause I need a ride to Josh's, I'm going to stay there until Zayde is gone and everything goes back to normal.
Erica Strange : Look, Sam, just calm down, okay, you're drunk, and you're freaking out, and I know that Zayde was harsh...
Teenage Samantha Strange : Erica, if you're gonna defend him...
Erica Strange : Look, Sam, what do you want? He's old!
Teenage Samantha Strange : Oh! Okay! Because he's old he gets a pass?
Erica Strange : No! That's not what I'm saying.
Teenage Samantha Strange : Yes, it is! He was horrible to Dad. And you know what's pathetic is the way

Teenage Samantha Strange : you go along and make things worse.

Teenage Samantha Strange : Because you're perfectly happy to keep up this big fake lie that you're some innocent ten-year-old.
Erica Strange : [stammers] What are you talking about? He is our grandpa, he loves us, and I'm just trying...

Erica Strange : Sam!
Teenage Samantha Strange : You know what? Forget it,
