Vincent: You’re looking well, Oscar. I suppose heading to rehab must have done you some good. Oscar: Uh-huh, and it’s all thanks to you. Vincent: It is?

Oscar: Sure! It’s great having folk tell you you’re a waste of space, really makes you wanna sort your shit out, y’know? Vincent: I see your sarcasm remains intact. Oscar: You know it, Vinny. Stay lame.

Vincent: [sighs] You seem like a nice, sensible woman; I’m not sure what you see in him. Courtney: I could say the same thing to Teagan about you. Vincent: Excuse me?

Courtney: Excuse your fucking self. Vincent: … Alton: [cackles]

Vincent: Really? Alton: You’re the one who consciously chooses to be lame. Vincent: [tuts] You’re an immature man, Alton.

Jayden: Oscar! C’mere! Oscar: [grunts] Hi. Jayden: I know, I know, you hate the fuss; I’m happy for you though.

Oscar: Thanks uncle Jay. Jayden: I made a fruitcake, just for you! God knows no one else will eat it… Oscar: Awesome.

Aspen: I’ll be fine, Noah. Noah: Yeah, ‘course… Aspen: It’s really good to see you, Oscar.. but I need to pee; again.

Noah: You’re looking so much better. Oscar: So I’ve heard. Noah: I’ve missed you… I need your weird zen about babies, I’m freaking the fuck out.

Oscar: Are you doing her head in? Noah: Definitely. I don’t feel ready. Oscar: I doubt anyone ever does.

Aspen: I’m supposed to be the one panicking, right? Courtney: [chuckles] This is Noah we’re talking about though. Aspen: I bet you any money he follows me.

Noah: Oh.. hey Courtney, I was just-… Courtney: Coming to join the pee party? Noah: Uh, no. I think I’ll use the other bathroom.

Leo: Sorry Oscar, I did tell your uncle Jay to put all that stuff out of the way. Oscar: I’d like to think that I could have one n’ not get carried away. Leo: I’ll move-…

Oscar: It’s gonna be everywhere, ain’t it? May as well get used to it. Leo: If you’re sure. Oscar: Honestly, it’s fine…

…

Oscar: You shouldn’t be coming out here whilst I’m smoking. Courtney: I smoked a lot in the beginning, before I found out. Oscar: You didn’t know.

Courtney: I was drugged too, more than once. Oscar: If I could-… Courtney: Sorry, I shouldn’t-.. not when you’re struggling.

Oscar: Hey.. you can talk to me whenever you want, okay? Courtney: At least we’re both sober together, huh? Oscar: It definitely helps, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want a drink or two right now.

Courtney: Me too, to be honest. Oscar: Eh, we’ll have to put up with scoffing fruitcake n’ pissing Vinny off for entertainment instead. Courtney: Hah…

Current date: July 22nd - Alton's Birthday.

Oscar: I was planning on coming before you threatened me, so don’t take any credit. Noah: Okay, but I wasn’t threatening you. I still think we should-... Oscar: Save it for another day, yeah?

Sidney: [tuts] Oscar. Oscar: Ugh, Ma... Sidney: You’re not looking after yourself, honey.

Oscar: Quit manhandling me. Sidney: I’ll leave off if you’re nice to uncle Vinny. Oscar: Deal. …

I was hoping he wouldn’t show up.

At least you have one decent son.

I told you he’d never amount to anything.

I definitely fell for the better one.

I can’t imagine what Courtney ever saw in him.

[LAUGHTER]

Look at the state of it.

He’s a lost cause.

Idiot

Junkie

Degenerate

Dickhead

Waste

Crook

Oscar: Are you religious?

Aspen: Not really. I’m not sure what I believe, who’s to say what’s out there? Or who.

Oscar: Hm, guess it’s hard to know for sure.

Aspen: I think it’s good to believe in something though. Whether it’s a God; humanity, a particular person, a cause... Everyone needs a purpose.

Oscar: True.

Aspen: Sorry about your Grandpa, it seems like everyone was fond of him.

Oscar: It was a long time ago now. You remind me of him a little, he was a compassionate man.

Aspen: Awh, I’m happy to be compared to him in that case!

Oscar: He also had a lot of nose hair.

Aspen: [laughing] Now that, I do not possess.

...

Jayden: Oscar! I’m glad to see you feeling better; or at all for that matter!

Oscar: Thanks, Jay.

Jayden: Did you have to have it out in the end?

Oscar: What?

Alton: [whispering] Uncle Jay thinks you had appendicitis. Say no.

Oscar: Oh, nope! All fine now...

Jayden: Good! Although, I guess technically it’s pointless anyway, isn’t it?

Oscar: Apparently.

...

Alton: We figured you wouldn’t want the whole family knowing what happened.

Oscar: Yeah, definitely not. Thanks.

Alton: Hey, hey.. look at this guy’s last name.

Oscar: Hardick...

Alton: [laughing]

Oscar: [snickers] Real mature, dad. I bet you laugh at this every time, don’t you?

Alton: It’s never not funny.

Oscar: You’re disrespecting the dead, y’know.

Alton: He might’ve found it amusing... Unless he was a stiff.

Britney: Put that cigarette out Mister, you know there’s no smoking in this house.

Oscar: My bad.

Britney: Uh-huh. Dinner’s ready anyway!

...

Vincent: I’m not sure I even trust this food after last year.

Axel: What? You don’t like my wife’s cooking?

Teagan: Dad...

Axel: C’mon, I’m yanking his chain! You’re being paranoid Vin.

Vincent: With good reason.

Axel: [chuckles] Nah, Oscar’s not set foot in the kitchen this year. Right?

Oscar: Right.

Teagan: It wasn’t funny dad.

Axel: Perhaps not at the time. Looking back though? It’s a little funny.

Vincent: It is not.

Oscar: Get a sense of humour Vinny, god.

Vincent: Don’t call me that. It’s Vincent.

Oscar: Whatever you say Vinny.

Teagan: Can we just eat please?

Axel: Hey, I already started. It’s these two who’re too busy squabbling to eat.

Oscar: I can multitask.

Vincent: [snorts]

Axel: One day, we’ll have a family meal without any bickering.

Britney: [laughing] Don’t count on it!

Noah: [whispering] Stop winding Uncle Vinny up.

Oscar: [hisses] He deserves it.

Noah: Vincent, Oscar’s not been near the kitchen, I’ve been keeping an eye on him. Eat your food.

Vincent: Alright. But if I end up on the toilet again for hours, he can be the one to wipe my ass.

Teagan: Vincent!

Oscar: Ugh, tryna eat here Vinny.

Axel: I’m sure you’re old enough to wipe your own behind Vin.

Vincent: That’s not what I-...

Britney: Enough! I’ll bring the kids table out again if you three don’t settle down.

Vincent: [grumbles]

Oscar: Sorry Grandma...

Axel: [snickers] Couldn't resist. I can see you trying not to grin over there Brit.

Teagan: What’s gotten into you and Alton?

Sidney: He’s still mad at me.

Teagan: I thought he’d be angry with Oscar, not you.

Jayden: Obviously they’ve argued about it.

Sidney: Shut up Jay.

Teagan: Arguing isn’t going to solve anything.

Sidney: We haven’t exactly argued about it, I just; didn’t handle the whole thing very well at the time.

Teagan: What do you mean?

Jayden: Come on T, you know what Sid and Oscar are like. They’ll have had another screaming match.

Sidney: I swear to god Jay...

Jayden: Tell me I’m wrong.

Sidney: ...

Jayden: I rest my case.

Sidney: It’s not funny. I’m worried about him.

Teagan: It can’t be that bad?

Sidney: He’s clearly gone off the deep end. He didn’t look well either, but he wouldn’t let me near him.

Jayden: Oh.

Sidney: Yeah, oh.

Teagan: That doesn’t explain why Alton’s angry with you.

Sidney: Because, Al said Oscar almost spoke to him without yelling and I ruined it.

Jayden: Maybe you should try the whole no yelling thing.

Teagan: Jayden.

Sidney: [sighs]

Jayden: Just saying...

Teagan: What’re you going to do then?

Sidney: I don’t know. I can’t do a lot when I’ve no idea where he is or what he’s up to, can I?

Yosef: Mr Finch, what’s your cat called?

Alton: You can call me Alton if you like, and she’s called Socks.

Yosef: Why?

Alton: [chuckles] I suppose because it looks like she’s got little black socks on.

Yosef: Does she like dogs?

Sidney: She’s alright with dogs. Next time you can bring Kipper.

Leo: We’ve been thinking of getting a dog.

Jayden: Pfft, you have. I’d rather get a cat or something easy, like a hamster.

Sidney: You’re so lazy, what’s the point in a hamster anyway?

Jayden: Excuse me, hamsters are very loving and intelligent pets.

Alton: I had a rat when we were kids, remember Sid? It even used to sleep with me.

Leo: That’s nasty.

...

Jaime: Sweetie don’t stand around in the rain, you might melt.

Yosef: I thought cats weren’t supposed to like rain.

Jaime: She’ll probably follow us in, come on.

...

Yosef: [giggles] Hey Noah! Is that you when you were little?

Noah: Yep, and my brother Oscar.

Yosef: His ginger hair is a bit weird... I mean, ‘cause the rest of you aren’t ginger.

Noah: Well, our Grandma had red hair so it’s not too strange.

Yosef: His tattoo is cool! In that top one.

Noah: He’s got a lot more now.

Yosef: Really? I want one when I’m older.

Noah: Yeah? What’d you get?

Yosef: I don’t know yet. Maybe a wizard hat or something awesome.

Noah: Well, when you’re eighteen you can.
