Would you like to do me a really big favor?
No.
Oh, come on Theo. You owe me a favor. Remember the time when you wanted to buy that yo-yo that lights up in the dark? I was the one that lent you the 75 cents.
That was three years ago Vanessa.

These hamburgers are too big for the kids, so if you could take them back...
WWaiter
And you want me to cover them in ketchup, mustard and pickles and squeeze them into regular hamburger buns.
Yes!
WWaiter
Say no more, I have three kids myself, they don't like to eat here either.

[Elvin and Sondra's diplomas have just fallen off the wall of their run-down apartment]
These are your degrees from Princeton.
Yes.
Fell down.
Yes.
Rather symbolic, don't you think?

They are going to get all the money while Sondra goes to law school. Honey, this is gonna work out.
Mom?
Yes?
I'm not going to law school.
What?!
I decided not to go to law school.
What do you mean you decided not to go to law school?
This is our dream. I am getting a temporary job until the wilderness store opens and I will be working side by side with my husband.
Sondra, what are you saying? You've always wanted to go to law school. You never talked about anything else.
I changed my mind,
CHANGE it back!
S4 E2Theogate
Rudy, has Theo come home yet?
No. Are we going to be late for Vanessa's play?
We better not be. I'll give him three more minutes, then we got to leave without him.
S4 E3It Ain't Easy Being Green
Mom?
Yes honey.
This is the dress I'm wearing to Kelly's party, okay? Okay bye.
Just a minute, Rudy.
Yes, mom.
Come here, please.
What for?
Come here. You know, just last month. We put that dress and all your summer clothes in a trunk and I told you it's getting too cold for you to wear them.
Yesterday it was hot.
But I know but yesterday was an unusual day today it's 52 degrees.
It's probably going to get hot when the party starts.
I don't think so, Rudy. The weatherman says it's gonna get colder so why don't you take that dress and put it back in the trunk.
But this is my favorite dress. Can I wear it to the party please?
Mmm, I want you to dress warm.
I am warm.
Well you're in the house. But Rudy if you go outside dressed like that you gonna catch cold.
I don't care, as long as I can wear my dress.
I'm sorry, the answer's no.
But I want to wear it.
Well I'm sorry sweetie, you're not wearing it.
Yes I am.
Hey! You forgot the water heater! Hey! Hey! The water heater!
Hi.
Hey.
You look sad.
It wouldn't take the water heater away.
I'm sorry.
What's the matter with you?
I'm little. When you're little you're nothing.
So you're nothing?
I am a big nothing.
Mom?
Yes honey.
This is the dress I'm wearing to Kelly's party, okay? Okay bye.
Just a minute, Rudy.
Yes, mom.
Come here, please.

Well, you're in the house. But, Rudy, if you go outside dressed like that, you're gonna catch a cold.
I don't care, as long as I can wear my dress.
I'm sorry. The answer is "no."
But I wanna wear it.
Well, I'm sorry, sweetie. You're not wearing it.
Yes I am.
Young lady... don't you talk back to me. A "no" is a "no," understand?
But, Mommy, you're making me feel bad.
Oh, Rudy, if you don't listen to me, you're gonna feel much worse. Now take that dress, put it back in the trunk, and let's have no further discussion about it, please.
I have one more question.
Yes, what is it?
Can I wear my dress to the party this one time? Please?
No. Upstairs now.
But Mo--
Rudy! If I hear one more word out of you, you're not going to that party. I mean it.
S4 E4Cliff's Mistake
Hey, I'm going down to the novelty shop to pick up something for Rudy's haunted house party.
What are you getting?
Well, I don't know, but I mean, you know, I am the master of fright.
You just remember that they're children.
No, no, I'll take it easy on them. Hee hee hee hee.
Oh, Jeffrey Engels called. He's gonna be over here in an hour.
