• Carol : Where are your boob shirts?

  [holds up Sarah's sweaters] 

  Sarah : What?

  Carol : Your *boob* shirts!

  Christine : Don't worry, I brought some of mine!

• Christine : [Sarah is in the bath and not picking up the phone]  Sarah, it's me, Christine. Pick up. Come on, Sarah. I already talked to Dad.

  Sarah : [sighs and answers the phone]  Who else knows?

  Christine : No one.

  Sarah : Come on, Carol has to know.

  Christine : Why does Carol have to know? Couldn't I once know something before she does?

  Sarah : [realizing]  She's there with you, isn't she?

  Christine : No.

  Sarah : Hello, Carol.

  Carol : [small beat]  Hi, Sarah. I was telling Chris it's a shame I didn't know about this before because I would have called Uncle Chet. We could have doubled.

  Sarah : Oh, no. This story is going to be immortalized into family history, isn't it? Told and retold at Thanksgiving dinner, year after year...

  Carol : Oh, not just Thanksgiving. I think it's a good Christmas story, too.

  [both Carol and Christine laugh] 

  Sarah : Bye guys.

  Christine : [laughing]  Wait. Tell the truth. On a scale of one to ten how would you rate Dad as a date? Hot, super hot?

  [Sarah hangs up] 

• Carol : Hello! Don't worry, it's just me. I'm in the kitchen. I filled your freezer again. There's now enough meat to feed every guy who answered your ad and still...

  [Walks in from the kitchen and sees Jake] 

  Carol : Whoa.

  Sarah : Jake Anderson, my sister Carol. Jake did, in fact, answer the ad.

  Jake : Do I get my meat?

  [Carol tosses him the meat]
