Clarissa Explains It All

[repeated line]

Clarissa Darling:
[a thunking sound is heard, and a ladder appears at Clarissa's window] Hi, Sam!

[Sam climbs the ladder, and the sound of a bluesy guitar strumming a chord is heard]

Clarissa Darling:
Whoever said, "The more things change the more things stay the same," definitely had the right POV.

Clarissa Darling:
[about the brat she has to babysit] This year I've got the perfect tools to tame little Elsie.

Sam Anders:
Well, if you're not packing thermo-nuclear warheads, I think you're traveling light.

Marshall Darling:
[after Ferguson hid Clarissa's bike as a joke, and it disappeared] Well, Ferguson, if it's really gone and you can't get it back, you know what you gotta do.

Ferguson Darling:
Apologize.

Marshall Darling:
No.

Ferguson Darling:
Apologize sincerely.

Marshall Darling:
No.

Ferguson Darling:
No, Dad, not pay for it!

Marshall Darling:
Your mother and I aren't fighting. We're having a discussion.

[Clarissa and her dad, who has come down with the flu, are discussing Bouncy Balls]

Marshall Darling:
But don't you think it's a little weird to eat something that you've been bouncing on the floor?

Clarissa Darling:
Dad, you haven't really been eating them after they've been on the floor, have you?

[beat]

Marshall Darling:
I'm gonna go get some more bouillon.
