1.I hope you’re not screening. 2.I'm just beside myself.
[INT – Mayer House – Susan’s Bedroom – Night]
Susan’s answer phone message: We’re not here. Leave a message.
(we see Susan’s just been in the shower. She’s in a towel, with her hair up and is brushing her teeth)
Mrs Huber: (leaving Susan a message) This is Mrs Huber, Susan. Are you there? I can see your lights are on. I hope you’re not screening. That is so tacky.
(Susan can’t believe how rude Mrs Huber is, and continues to stare at her phone as her neighbour leaves her a message)
Mrs Huber: (on the phone) Listen, I need to talk to you. My water heater just burst and its going to cost me $600 to get a new one. And I can’t afford that.
(Susan figures out why Mrs Huber was calling and sits down on her bed in shock)
Mrs Huber: I’m just beside myself. Call me as soon as you get in.

Screening means to selectively answer the phone. An answering machine allows someone to listen and know whether the caller is a person they want to talk to or not.
Beside myself means to be very upset.
