For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston

Elizabeth: I'm going home. I haven't lived with my family for so long! I'm going back to my old room, with all my junk and my kiddie toys still in the closet. I'll hear Dad getting up in the morning, Mom putting on the coffee, April and the dogs thumping around the house. Home. Where I grew up. The one place that hasn't changed. The one true constant in my life! I hope I can stand it for a whole summer!

Elly: Phil's being honest with you, Connie. He cares about you, but he's not ready to settle down with a wife and family. Hey! You're young and attractive! You'll find someone! Connie: That's easy for you to say. You have a partner! You don't know what it's like to be single like this. You don't know what it's like to be on your own!! Lawrence: I wish I knew why my mom talks like that... she's still got me!!

Elizabeth: I have organized this family meeting so that we can openly discuss some serious concerns in regards to our living arrangements. As you know, April and I are now sharing the upstairs... which has resulted in a series of, let me say, misunderstandings... and a number of problems need to be ironed out. John: So, what would you like from us? Discipline?! Elizabeth: No! I want you to act as a souding board!! Elly: Sorry. You two are both old enough to work this out on your own. April: Well, they did what you wanted, Liz... they sounded bored.

Eva: Your new house isn't so bad, April. April: My room's smaller, an' I hafta share the can with my folks. Eva: Awww, poor baby! Anyways, you'll be going away to University. So it won't matter! April: It will matter. This isn't the house I'm used to. It's not "home". Eva: What if you lived in a war zone and your house was gone an' all you had left was your family! You'd consider yourself lucky, wouldn't you? April: This isn't a war zone, Eva. Eva: Consider yourself lucky.

Deanna: So... Liz is bringing Anthony! That's a major step. Michael: Well, they have been seeing a lot of each other. Deanna: But this is Christmas dinner, Mike! You don't bring someone to a family gathering like this unless that person is a "significant other." The first part of the word "significant" is "sign," right? This is a sign! Michael: Of what... that he's willing to put up with her relatives? Deanna: Are you saying that you "put up with" my relatives? Michael: It's a lot safer than putting them down!

Elizabeth: Mom, there's an e-mail from Michael - it's from Ireland!! Michael (writing): We're staying in a small B&B in Ballymahon. Tomorrow, we'll research more of the O'Connor family history through the church archives. I have never seen such ancient buildings! Castles and bridges, houses and walls all made of stone. For Weed and myself, the days fly by far too quickly...while all around us...time stands still.

Elizabeth: We took all the old files to the recycling place, Mom. Elly: Thanks, Liz. Now you can move all the "sale" items to the front of the store. Mike, you can help your dad dismantle the "Coffee Corner" and April, I'd like you to wipe off all the shelves. Now I know why they call this a "family business!" Noise: Bam! Bam! Bam!

John: Well, now we're filling it up again! Elly: In a year, one family can handle a lot of chaos... - But why does it all seem to happen at once?!!
