• 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.

  [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.
