Kyla Mom, there’s an amusement park right on the beach.

(Ashley turns to a guy and asks)

Ashley Any jobs around here?

A man Nothing legal.

At Grandpa’s house

Kyla Come on, Nanook. (Kyla’s dog)

Christine(trying to wake the old man up ) Dad? Dad?

Ashley Looks like he’s dead.(takeing a closer look) No, he’s just a deep sleeper.

Kyla If he’s dead, can we go back to Phenix? (asking hopefully)

Grandpa (waking up) Playin’ dead. And from what I heard, doin’ a damn good job of it, too.

Ashley ( looking outside) This is a pretty cool place.

Kyla For the Texas Chain-Saw Massacre.

Ashley  Come on, ky, give Mom a break.

Kyla What’s wrong with this picture? There’s no TV. Have you

seen a TV? I haven’t seen a TV, ash . You know what it

means when there’s no TV? NO MTV.

Ashley kyla, we are flat broke.

Grandpa Christine, you’re the only woman I ever knew who didn’t improve

her situation by getting divorced.

Christine I know. But a big legal war wasn’t going to improve

anybody’s situation. We’ve all been through enough. Anyway,

I was raised better than that.

(Ashley chaseing kyla round) 

Grandpa Ouch. My hair.

Kyla Mom, you gotta help me.

Christine Hey, guys, no running in the house!
