Scene VI: The Living Room, Saturday evening after dinner

Jen and Josh remove themselves from the dining room table after a wonderful meal. Audrey cooked her favorite meal to welcome her: grilled flank steak, baked potatoes and steamed green beans.

Josh: Jen, I'm so glad you're moving here. I've missed you so much. I can't wait to spend more time with my favorite cousin.

Jen: I've missed you too. You and your dad have been nothing short of wonderful to me these past couple of years. Without your phone calls, I don't know what I would have done. It's just so hard being so far away from family. But, I made it through ok, and I'm looking forward to the future now.

Josh: Have you spoken to Charlie?

Jen: We speak occasionally. At least we're speaking to each other and not through our attorneys. I had no idea that divorce was such a difficult thing. So many details… I'm just thankful we never had children.

Josh: Well, we're here for you, Jen. We're ALL here for you. Mom, Drake and Megan too. I know that they'll warm up to you in no time.

Jen: Oh, I already see that with Megan. You know, she's not as bad as you make her out to be.

Josh: Oh, really? Maybe I should have Megan tell you about the taser she hid in my pants. Or the time she bugged our room. Or the time she purposely sabotaged our salsa so she could get her evil little hands on OUR Yatsubishi plasma screen tv. She's full of evil, believe me.

Jen: Josh, when are you gonna learn that little sisters torment because IT'S THEIR JOB. If she didn't do all of those things, I'd think there was something wrong with her.

Josh: She got to you, didn't she?

Jen: Maybe…

Drake emerges from the kitchen with dessert. Another favorite: NY style cheesecake. Well, they thought it was NY style. Jen knew otherwise.
Drake: So, what are you going to do tonight, Jen? I hope that you don't think I'm gonna entertain because I got a hot date tonight.

Josh: Who is it this time?

Drake: Uh…. Uh…. Wow. Drawing a blank here. Cindy? No, Stacy. No, Samantha?

Josh: You don't remember her name?

Drake: I don't remember half of their names.

Jen: You're quite the serial dater, aren't you, Drake?

Drake: I see my reputation precedes me.

Jen: And you think that's a good thing?

Drake: Isn't it?

Jen: Drake, you have a lot to learn about women. You may know a lot about girls, but not about women.

Drake: I know plenty about women.

Josh: Yeah, more than a young man should.

Jen: Drake, you know precisely dick about women. Let's have a chat sometime, and I'll let you know why you don't know anything about us, ok?

Drake: You're gonna tell me?

Jen: Don't make me…

Josh: Jen… let it go. He'll learn someday. The hard way.

Drake: Well, it's been fun. Later.

Jen: Have fun with Whats-Her-Name…

Drake: Yeah, I guess I'll have to figure that out before I get there, huh?

Jen: Josh, you're right, he is a genius.

Josh: Shhhh…….

Drake: Hey!
