Greta Page #2

beyond the town lines,

especially not to Asbury Park.

That's no place for you.

So does all of that

sound fair to you?

Let me tell you how this works:

I go where I want

when I want with whom I want.

And I don't come home

until I want to.

Now that's how it works

at Karen's.

So if you've got a problem with it,

take it up with her.

She's the one who dumped me

on you two anyway.

Okay? Let's just do each other

a favor,

stay out of each other's way.

Summer will be over

before we know it.

Deal?

Deal.

(whistles)

Where did you get that?

Oh, yeah.

What does that thing get,

Only on a steep downgrade.

Can I borrow it?

Huh-uh. I heard about what happened

when you went to get your driver's license.

That DMV guy

was emotionally unstable, okay?

It was not my driving

that made him cry.

(Joseph guffaws)

I'm serious.

Okay, we'll see

what your mother thinks.

Like she thinks.

I swear she holds the record

for the most blah moments.

She thinks that string theory

has something to do with macrame.

This is the same woman

that gives me advice on boys.

Her husbands are in and out so fast,

I can't even keep track.

What, is this

husband number nine?

Three.

And you can't drive alone

without a license.

It's against the law.

What's the worst

that's gonna happen, Grams?

I die?

No, the worst thing

that can happen

is that you take somebody

with you when you die.

Greta:
Ocean Grove.

More like Ocean Grave.

No wonder Mom left this place

when she was 17.

It's so passe.

I'll make her pay for this torture

when I get home.

That is, if I make it home.

Wow. Okay, I'll give it to her...

Grams looked pretty.

(changing channels)

(turns off TV)

(tinkling)

Can I help you?

There's something majorly wrong

with the cable.

I think you ought to call

and light a fire under someone's ass.

We don't have cable.

Wait, say that again.

I said we don't...

What are you wear...?

Oh, look at you.

How do you survive

without cable?

It's really tough, Greta.

Sometimes we cry ourselves

to sleep at night.

You know, you can always

rent videotapes.

Videotapes?

Come on, who lives like this?

Oh, stop the histrionics, Greta,

for goodness' sakes.

There's so much to do

around here.

There's the whole ocean

right there.

Take my bicycle.

Ride along the boardwalk.

Then you won't have time

for TV.

So you want me to sacrifice

reality TV

for purely empirical

experiences?

Yeah, that's my

recommendation.

Fine.

Come with me

Come with me

On a voyage

To the bottom

Of the sea

In a sea

Of blue-green

We will find love

At the bottom

Of the sea

Unbelievable, inconceivable

Fantastic it will seem

But we'll be the first
