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. - Desperate Housewives What do they mean?

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.
