Ginny (out of frame) Nice to see you again, Jeff! Jeff: Unh. Can't she see I'm busy? Ginny: Merry Christmas, girl! Joanie: You too, Ginny - thanks for dropping by. Well, that was quite a performance, Jeffrey. Jeff: How's that? Joanie: When Ginny said hello, you just grunted. You didn't get up, you didn't shake her hand, you didn't use her name. You didn't make eye contact. You were 0 for 5. There are only two possible explanations. Either you have no manners whatsoever, or you do, but you can't be bothered to use them! Either way, 18 years of parenting have been a total failure! I did a better job raising the dog! At least he shakes hands! Shake, Rusty! See? Jeff: Yeah, but he also drinks out of the toilet! So you really are a loser!
