Parker Scavo:
How long will daddy be gone?

Lynette Scavo:
Well that sorta depends on daddy.

Porter Scavo:
Are you two mad at each other?

Lynette Scavo:
Yeah, a little, but that's okay. We still love each other very much, but like kids, sometimes grown-ups throw tantrums and need a time-out.

Preston Scavo:
Why can't he take a time-out in his room?

Lynette Scavo:

Parker Scavo:
[Being cute, while petting his dog] No fair that sounds fun!

Lynette Scavo:

Porter Scavo:

Lynette Scavo:
It means childish, stubborn, careless with my money and your future's.

Preston Scavo:
Huh?

Lynette Scavo:
It's a grown-up word, and when daddy comes home, he'll learn a new one: grovel!
