I don't want to take it anymore - I'll just stay here locked behind the door
Holly: Thief! (shouts at her sister, over the breakfast table)
Stacy: Floosy!
Alex: (having breakfast with them, nearly spit-takes her orange juice)
Dan: Both of you, knock it -- (looks at Stacy) Where did you hear that word?
Stacy: Pop-pop! He says Widow Stiles is a painted floosy who'd give Minnie the Moocher a run for her money.
The Pointer Sisters on Oldies station: Whoo oooh - Whoo oooh!
Dan: (stares at her for a moment) Doesn't your mother stay in the room when you visit Pop-pop?
Stacy: Oh, sure. She laughs a LOT when we visit. She says assisted living has a whole new meaning these days.
The Pointer Sisters on Oldies station: And it's hard to say - Just how some things never change
Alex: (smirks into her orange juice)
Dan: I'll have a talk with her.
The Pointer Sisters on Oldies station: And it's hard to find - Any strength to draw the line
Holly: You should have a talk with the born-again bandit.
Dan: What is your problem with your sister? (to Holly)
Stacy: (volunteers) A guy asked Holly out on a date!
Alex: (interested) Really? Who?
Dan: Yes, who?
Holly: I don't know. The zygote stole my phone before I saw the text
Dan: Holly, don't call your sister names. Stacy, give your sister her phone and don't call her names either.
Stacy: (rolls her eyes and holds out the phone to Holly who reaches for it, but the hand off fails and the phone plops into Alex's glass of orange juice)
The Pointer Sisters on Oldies station: Roof caved in on all the simple dreams - And to get ahead your heart starts pumping schemes
Alex: Oh, crap! (quickly fishes it out, drying it on a napkin)
Holly: (shouts at Stacy) You did that on purpose!
Stacy: No, I didn't! I thought you had it! Daddy, i thought she had it!
Dan: I'm sure you didn't. (to Stacy) It'll be okay. (to Holly) Alex, let me have it. (takes the phone and goes to the pantry, getting a plastic container of rice, opens the container and buries the phone in the rive)
Holly: (near tears) It's destroyed!
Dan: Honey, this will help to dry it out, and I'll drop it at the store on my way to work. They should be able to recover everything on your phone.
Holly: What if they can't? How will I know who asked me out?
Alex: Seriously, Holls, it's the twenty-first century. Your dad can just ask for the text history.
Holly: Great, my dad will know who's asking me out before I do.
The Pointer Sisters on Oldies station: I know there's a pot of gold for me
Stacy: It was somebody named Kyle.
Holly: (frowns at Stacy) How do YOU know?
The Pointer Sisters on Oldies station: All I got to do is just believe
Stacy: Because it said, "Hi, Holly. I hope you don't mind that Joey gave me your number, but I really wanted to ask you out. Maybe to a movie? Kyle
Dan: If this Kyle knows Joey, he's probably not the kind of kid I want taking you to a movie.
Holly: Ha ha, Dad. (frowns) I don't know any Kyle.
Alex: Cool, it's a mystery date!
Holly: I didn't say I'd go out with this Kyle guy.
Stacy: Yeah, he could be even creepier than my sister.
Holly: That's it! I'm tying you to a stork and sending you back! (chases Stacy out of the kitchen)
The Pointer Sisters on Oldies station: I'm just burning doin' the neutron dance - I'm just burning doin' the neutron dance
Alex: (matter-of-factly, to Dan Samuels) Always charmed to have breakfast with your lovely family, Mr. Samuels.
Dan: (gives her a paternal glare)
The Pointer Sisters on Oldies station: Whoo oooh - Whoo oooh - I'm so happy doin' the neutron dance - And I'm just burning doin' the neutron dance (yeah, yeah)
