Mrs. Doubtfire1993

[The kids are watching The Dick Van Dyke Show on the television.]

Alan Brady:
Here it is, Mel, $1,000 worth of hair. What am I supposed to do with it?

Melvin Cooley:
Alan, I was wondering if...

Alan Brady:
You want one of them? I'd rather make a coat for my wife. [pokes a head mannequin off the table] Pick it up! Pick it up! Pick it up!

Mrs. Doubtfire:
All right, everyone. It's time to expand your minds. It's homework time. OK?

Lydia:
Yeah, but after Dick Van Dyke.

Mrs. Doubtfire:
No. Now.

[Mrs. Doubtfire turns off TV. Lydia uses remote control to reactivate TV.]

Lydia:
No. We always watch Dick Van Dyke.

[Lydia sets down the remote; Mrs. Doubtfire picks it up.]

Mrs. Doubtfire:
[calmly] Really? Well? [tosses the remote into the air; it lands behind her in the fish tank] Not anymore. The only thing you'll be watching is Deep CNN. [turns to the kids, who are wide-eyed] Now! I know you're used to loosey-goosey, but I run a much tighter ship. Between the hours of 3 p.m. and 7 p.m., I'm in charge. And when I'm in charge, you will follow a schedule. Those who do not follow the schedule will be punished.

Nattie:
Punished?

Lydia:
She's lying. She'd never punish us.

Mrs. Doubtfire:
[evilly] Don't...fuss with me.
