Lindsay, is that you?! Liz Gillies sounds just like LiLo in her and Elaine’s spoof of the famous scene from The Parent Trap, in which evil stepmother-to-be Meredith confronts 11-year-old Hallie to try and tell her who’s boss. As plaid-shirt-wearing, pigtail-sporting Hallie, Liz is every bit the smart aleck as Lindsay was, and completely nails her inflection — their voices even sound totally similar. Watch the video to see for yourself!
Liz tweeted the video on Oct. 11, Hallie and Annie (the other Parent Trap twin)’s birthday:
Happy Birthday, Hallie & Annie. Here’s a little gift from your favorite stepmom & I. #TheParentTrap @elaine4animals https://t.co/J76kfle29I

Elaine also tweeted a reference to one of her character’s most famous lines (“the day we get married is the day I ship those brats off to Switzerland”):
Happy Birthday Hallie & Annie Parker. I’d still ship you off to Switzerland. Love, #MeredithBlake #TheParentTrap

What a perfect birthday tribute — this movie is literally the gift that keeps on giving.
