- 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
- [points:]
- Teenage Samantha Strange: you go along and make things worse.
- Erica Strange: Whoa! Me?
- Teenage Samantha Strange: Yeah, you.
- [taunting manner]
- 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...
- Teenage Samantha Strange: Oh, my God, give me a break. He doesn't love us, he doesn't even know us, and he doesn't want to.
- Erica Strange: Sam!
- Teenage Samantha Strange: You know what? Forget it,
- [heads for the door]
- Teenage Samantha Strange: forget it. You go out there and keep being a perfect granddaughter, okay? Go back out there and tell your stupid joke till Zayde is happy, and then next year, you can do it all over again.
