Backbiting marks family discussion, particularly between the sisters and in Margot's cutting remarks to Claude. Pauline tells Margot a secret that Margot promptly tells Claude.

- and what's gonna happen.

- I don't like Vermont.

Your dad is gonna be very happy

to see you,

and I'm sure Josh is just

dying to hang out.

Please come, Mom.

Stop it, okay? Stop it.

You used to need me

to watch you when you played.

What do you mean?

When you first started playing

with friends, you wouldn't do it,

unless I was watching.

You were always afraid

I was gonna go out the back door.

I don't know

where you thought I would go.

Our backyard didn't lead anywhere.

I masturbated last night.

While everyone was asleep,

I went into the bathroom and did it.

You don't need to tell me that, sweetie.

- You've got to go.

- How will you get home?

I don't know.

Maybe I'll get Dick to drive me to the...

I lost the word for a second, the train.

Come on.

You always don't want to leave me,

and you always have a good time

once you do.

- I think you like getting away from me.

- I don't. I like hanging out with you.

They make your face look too wide.

- See you soon.

- Bye, sweetie.

Say you'll see me soon.

Hey, you're acting like a baby. Go on.

Wait!

Wait!

Wait!

Wait!

- Did you see me running out there?

- Yeah.

That was a lot of running.

I'm out of breath.
