BRUCE, spoken: That show is awful.

SMALL ALISON, spoken: It's the best show. It's about a family that always—

BRUCE, spoken: —I know what it's about. Just read a book

ALISON, spoken: Slam. Crash!

(ALISON: Libaray…)

BRUCE, spoken: Well then—take them back to the library, you stupid crazy b***h! (ALISON: Stupid…)

HELEN, spoken: Go, just go. You're going to be late for your appointment.

BRUCE, spoken: Don't tell me what to do!

HELEN, spoken: If you miss this appointment, we're in a lot of trouble. Do you understand that?

BRUCE, spoken: Oh, thank you. Thank you for the lecture. I can take care of my own business! (SMALL ALISON, sung: Ba ba ba ba ba…)

HELEN, spoken: If you're not home for dinner, I'm throwing it in the toilet! (SMALL ALISON, sung: Ba ba ba ba ba…)
