Nancy Krieger Weston:
[having opened the door to Hope] Hi.

Hope Murdoch Steadman:
Hi. I just wanted to bring this stuff by.

Nancy Krieger Weston:
Oh, you really gotta stop doing this.

Hope Murdoch Steadman:
Oh, it's okay.

Nancy Krieger Weston:
[holding up a bundle wrapped in aluminum foil with a bright red ribbon] Banana bread?

Hope Murdoch Steadman:
How did you know?

Nancy Krieger Weston:
Just guessed. Thanks.

Hope Murdoch Steadman:
It's okay.

Nancy Krieger Weston:
Come on in. You want some tea?

Hope Murdoch Steadman:
Oh, no, I've gotta go pick up Janey, and I just wanted to drop this stuff off... oh, and let you know that I'll take Ethan and Britty for dinner tonight.

Nancy Krieger Weston:
No, you don't have to do that for...

Hope Murdoch Steadman:
No, really. It's okay. I don't...

Nancy Krieger Weston:
[sharply] No! [then, looking at Hope who is a little taken aback] I know that you are just trying to help. I know everybody is just trying to help, but I don't need help with Ethan and Brittany.

Hope Murdoch Steadman:
Okay. I'm sorry.

Nancy Krieger Weston:
It's just... I want to be with them.

Hope Murdoch Steadman:
[realizing] I'm sorry. I didn't think.

Nancy Krieger Weston:
[feeling badly now] But if my vacuum cleaner needs repair or something like that, I'll give you a call. Okay?

Hope Murdoch Steadman:
[smiling] Okay.

Nancy Krieger Weston:
[as phone rings again] Damn.

Hope Murdoch Steadman:
[rushing out] I've gotta go anyway. I'll call you later.

Nancy Krieger Weston:
[seeing her friend to the door regretfully] Okay.

Elliot Weston:
[recorded on phone machine] Hi. We can't come to the phone right now, but please leave a message and we'll get back to ya.

Gary Shepherd:
[over phone machine] Nance, hi. It's Gary. Listen. Uh, this is our weekly night for junk food and we thought we'd just swing by and pick up Ethan and Brittany and take them out...

[Nancy just goes over and lowers the volume of the machine so she can no longer hear it]
