Even if it's a federal offense. Dialogue [Opening dialogue.] Trudie: I'm not crazy. I'm a long way from crazy. Doing one crazy thing does not make a person crazy. David: Look, I'm not sure what's going on or what you want from me, but this plan doesn't seem very well thought out. Let's face it - I'm a guy and sooner or later, I will overpower you. Trudie: Yeah. Good point, unless you knock yourself out first or I shoot you. David: You seem like a nice girl. Probably nothing a little lithium couldn't fix. Mom: Oh, my gosh! What have you done to your hair? You look like one of those actresses in a pornographic movie. Trudie: I have porn-star hair? How do you even know what a porn-star looks like? [Lucy calling Trudie on the phone.] Lucy: Hey it's me. What happened to you yesterday? You looked kinda strange and then I turned around and you were gone. Are you OK? Trudie: Yeah! I'm fine! Well... Not exactly fine. I think I had a little bit of a nervous breakdown. Lucy: I didn't know they came in sizes. Dad: You know, there was a time when we thought Trudie with all her causes might go to law-school like her sister Katie. Trudie: Being a democrat is not a cause, dad. Dad: But she got her degree in liberal arts... Trudie: FINE arts, dad! Dad: I don't even know what that means. David: It's an expensive way to say, "Do you want fries with that?". [picks up an ornament] Ahh. Home-made ornaments. Mom: Yeah. Trudie made that when she was 5. She was a little withdrawn as a child. Trudie: Okay, Mom! Mom: You know, her brother and sister are so outgoing and they had so many friends, but Trudie was... I don't know... A little anti-social. David: Really? Mom: We even paid a little boy down the street to be her friend, but he gave us our money back. Trudie: Alright! Mom: So from then on it was Trudie and her projects and of course Bobo Blankers. David: Bobo Blankers? Mom: Her imaginary friend. Trudie: [mutters] Thanks, Mom! Thanks a lot! David: What? What was that? Are you talking to Bobo Blankers right now? Mom: Nick, would you like another piece of pie? David: Sure! Mom: Trudy, would you get another piece of pie, please? Trudie: He knows where the kitchen is. Mom: Are you trying to ruin Christmas? [Trudie's mother left cookies for Santa and David is about to eat them.] Trudie: You can't eat those! David: What's it gonna look like if Santa doesn't eat his cookies? [dunks a cookie in milk] Trudie: Figures you're a dunker. David: Of course! What are you, a twister? [Trudie twists a cookie.] David: It's so wrong in so many ways. Trudie: Alright, let's get this over with. [starts writing her letter to Santa] This is so dumb! David: I hope you're not expecting much from Santa. A federal offense probably puts you on the naughty-list this year. [Trudie and David are writing letters to Santa.] David: I'm gonna ask for a new fully-loaded SUV. Trudie: Mmmm. Interesting! I'm gonna ask for an end to global warming. [Grandma pours herself a drink.] Grandma: Merry Christmas! Mom: Mother, isn't it a little early? Grandma: Early for who, sugar-britches? I have to spend an entire day trapped with you yahoos. Mama's gonna need a little help. [David out-performs Trudy in hockey.] David: I'll give it to you. You're pretty scrappy. Trudie: I think you've had enough for now. Mom: Your tie is crooked. Dad: You tied it. Mom: It's still crooked.
