          Yup, it was dysfunctional.

          Gran: how nice to see you.

          Naomi: do you like my dress?

          Of course, he said this just quietly enough so only my sister heard.  But dear lord, did my sister ever hear it.

          Naomi: Hey asshole.  Jacking off, does it still give you a nice thrill?

          Holt: What the hell?

          Naomi: Whoops.

          And the night was only getting started.
