pov: lowe family reunions

theodore: well, i'm glad we could find time to meet up like this. it's important to make time for family, isn't it? robert, i heard you're a mayor now?
robert: yes, i am. nice of you to notice, theodore.
theodore: yes, i read about it in your email list. i'm sorry i couldn't help in the campaign, but life's been pretty busy lately.
robert: yeah, congressman lowe. that makes sense, maybe if you spent less time working, you could spend more time controlling your kids.
cecilia, whispering to elliot: this year i'm thankful for us being from the most dramatic family in the country
elliot: i thought you would've shouted at uncle robert at this point
cecilia: yeah, maybe later. this is more fun.
theodore: okay, let's not bring kids into this. you disowned your daughter-
robert: unlike you, i wouldn't let my child bring shame upon this family-
theodore: don't come into my house and disrespect my daughter!
robert: i never mentioned your daughter!
cecilia: i haven't said a word and i still create drama. i love being me.
elliot: shut the fuck up.
cecilia: see, i wanted to sit at the kids table with robbie and you insisted on coming here-

it ends with theodore kicking robert out of the house and cecilia and elliot sitting at the kids table with robbie to gossip about everyone

lowe family dinners only get more dramatic when cecilia and elliot have children of their own/bring their partners to family dinners
