Ms. Barbara MacHenry
Billy, [sighs] Billy, Billy..., Girls I can't find Billy's present under the tree here. Come on, girls, we can't start the Secret Santa without Billy's present. [turns to each of the girls.] Hello? Who drew Billy's name?
Melissa Kitt
Um, Ms. Mac, it's a Secret Santa.
Dana Mathis
[while painting her nails]
Can't we just get on with this thing, so I can party for a few days before having to deal with the family on Christmas.
Melissa Kitt
Have you looked outside? It's raining hail the size of Yao's ball sack.
Dana Mathis
It'll stop. The party gods won't allow me to be here by myself over Christmas break.
Kelli Presley
[while wrapping the gift]
Oh, I'll be here, Dana.
Dana Mathis
Yeah, they're making me work next week.
Melissa Kitt
That sucks everyone should be home for Christmas.
Ms. Barbara MacHenry
All right, all right, Who's not here?
Kelli Presley
Um, like everybody.
Ms. Barbara MacHenry
Chelsea?
Kelli Presley
She went home this morning.
Ms. Barbara MacHenry
Greer?
Melissa Kitt
No, that was her on the phone. She and Erin and Taylor are off on that cozy little ski trip with the boys from G.A.D. Next door.
Ms. Barbara MacHenry
Didn't I see Clair earlier?
Kelli Presley
Isn't she upstairs writing a card to her sister?
Melissa Kitt
No, I think her sister picked her up earlier. Remember, this is the occasion for Clair and her sister and her mom to... bury the hatchet and rediscover each other.
Dana Mathis
[while dialing her phone]
Oh, I'd like to bury the hatchet with my sister... right in her head.
Ms. Barbara MacHenry
You're a legacy? What year?
Leigh Colvin
Ninety-three... Ninety four... I don't know, I started late, I quit early...
Ms. Barbara MacHenry
Nineteen-ninety three is the year I became housemother here; I don't remember you.
Leigh Colvin
I mean, this was supposed to be such a big **** weekend, excuse my language, but I drove all the way up here in this shitty, shitty weather, after blowing off a weekend with a cardiologist and---
Dana Mathis
[interrupts Leigh.]
I love your coat.
Dana Mathis
[While fiddling with the electric box, trying to get the power back on.]
Oh shit. The main breaker is underneath the house.
Dana Mathis
[Leigh looks at Dana.] [turns to Leigh.]
What? I'm not the totally helpless daddy's girl these bitches make me out to be.
Leigh Colvin
Okay, then go outside and turn the power on.
Dana Mathis
Are you high? I'm not going outside, it's freezing!
Leigh Colvin
It'll take two seconds, you know where the power is, I'll keep looking for Clair
Dana Mathis
Ugh, fine.
