Everwood, Season One

Amy:
My dad is going to kill me.

Ephram:
I'm sure he'll understand when you tell him why you went.

Amy:
That's not the way it works at my house.

Ephram:
How does it work?

Amy:
He yells, I apologize, there's a sentencing of some sort, and then I plea bargain with my mother until the sentence gets reduced.

Ephram:
In my house it's more like, I yell, he yells, we both keep yelling, and eventually someone gets tired.
