GAV: [Gets up.]

MOM: OK fine but be nice to him!

CJ: OK OK OK! I will. I’ll just… [looks at brother] torture him a little bit.

MOM: Right. ‘Cuz that’s nice.

GAV: [Starts miming frantically.]

CJ: Well well... [Looks at her brother.] Fine. Ten seconds to talk.

GAV: [Speaking up.]. You know what? I’m so nice to you!

CJ: That’s true. [Giggles.]

GAV: What have I… When have I ever… [Looks at parents.]. Name one thing I’ve done that was mean to her!
