Audrey: [Peeling a carrot] Would it be indecent to ask the grandparents to stay at a hotel?
Ellen: Audrey!
Audrey: Well can we at least forbid them to answer the phone? Alexander called this morning and grandpa Clark told him... I couldn't come to the phone 'cause I was going to the bathroom.
Ellen: We're all making sacrifices, Audrey.
Audrey: Everybody? Do you sleep with your brother? Do you know how sick and twisted that is, mom?
Ellen: [Grabs a box of matches off the fridge] Well, I'm sleeping with your father. Don't be so dramatic.
Audrey: I have nightmares about what he does in his bed alone when I'm not lying right next to him.
Ellen: Well, I don't know what to say, except it's Christmas and we're all in misery.
[Lights up a cigarette to smoke and Frances calls out from the next room]
Frances: Ellen, are you smoking again?
[Ellen puts out the cigarette]
Ellen: No!
