Annie:Nothing, it's just...l'm so happy to be home.
Dad:Hey, did l hear something about corn bread and chili?
Chessy:Yeah, it's on the stove.
Chessy:So, something's changed about you, Hal. Umm, l can't put my finger on it, but something about you is definitely changed.
Annie:Really? Well, it's just the same old me. Honest.
Sammy (their dog)keeps shouting at Annie.
Annie:Hi, Sammy(their dog).
Chessy:What is wrong with you, you goofball? It's Hallie.
Annie:Oh, l, l probably just smell like camp, that's all.
Chessy:The matter with you? It's like you didn't even recognize her.
Annie:Wow! It's even better than the pictures.
Chessy:Okay, kiddo. What do ya wanna do first, huh?
Chessy:You wanna eat and then unpack? Or, uh, we could unpack and then eat. Or we could eat while we unpack.
Annie:Do you mean l can eat in my room?
Chessy:Yeah, l'd say it's a definite possibility.
Dad:Hey, Hal, when you're done, come on down. There's someone l want you to meet.
Annie:Okay, Dad.
Dad:Okay, Hal.
Annie saw that her dad was sitting with a lady.
Meredith:Look at you. Always eating. Did you tell her?
Dad:No.
Meredith:Nicky.
Dad:l will. l will.
Annie Looks anxious When she saw that her father being very intimate with another woman.
Annie:Tell me what?
Chessy:Hal, it is none of my business how your father makes a fool out of himself. Okay? He's a big boy. He can do what he wants.
Annie:Okay. Okay. So, who is she?
Chessy:Her name's Meredith Blake. She's a publicist from San Francisco. Your father hired her at the beginning of the summer, to do some publicity for the vineyard.
Chessy:If you ask me, she's doing a better job of selling herself than the grapes.
Annie:What do you mean?
Chessy:Look, you and l both know your father's not some kind of suave, debonair bachelor-of-the-month type.
Chessy:So, l gotta ask myself, ''What does a hot, young thing like that, see in a guy who walks around with his shirttail hanging out and his cereal bowl full of chili?''
Chessy:Then, l realized there's about a million reasons why that girl's giggling.
Chessy:All of them are sitting at the Napa Valley Community Bank.
Annie:You mean, you don't think she even really likes him?
Chessy:Eh, what do l know? But l'll tell you one thing. This one's got your father eating out of the palm of her hand.
Chessy:They do everything together. They ride together. They swim together. They go out to eat dinner every night.
Chessy:But, you know what? Meet her. See for yourself. Don't let me influence you.
