The Bright Side

Emily: Usually my actual grandparents come, but I think this year they're spending Christmas with friends. It's pretty fun, two weeks mucking around at the beach. Do you want to come? I never have anybody to talk to. Not that I mind, but...
Dee: Yeah, I'll come. Do Maddy and Carmine ever take friends?
Emily: Nah, they get on with the cousins better than I do.
Dee: What a surprise.
Emily: I know! Me, the socialite!
Dee: And you're always so friendly! Unbelievable!
Emily: Actually I'm not as horrible to family members as I am to kids at school, 'cause they're harder to escape.
Dee: Wise. So when do you leave?
Emily: Monday.
