Marlena: Why on earth does my dad keep yelling at me about smoking? He's been doing it forever. How does he expect me to get through my classes? I have 2 essays to turn in, to finish my portfolio and stupid Strathmore changed their paper again. Grrr! And then on top of all that, we have this family reunion to go to in New London. We see them all of the time. I should be able to stay home & work.
Persephone (to Marlena): Stop being so whiny, Martian! You can get your head out of the books and hang out with me & Victor for one weekend.
Marlena (to Persephone): Fat Christ! You know, I hate it when you call me that.
Persephone (to Marlena): And, you know that's exactly why I do it. :-P
