You Can't Do That on Television, Season 8 (1987)
[Mrs. Prevert is washing a stack of books in the sink.]
Adam:
Mom! What are you doing?
Mrs. Prevert:
Oh, hello Adam. I was just washing some dirty books I found in your father's closet.
Adam:
Mom, you're ruining them!
Mrs. Prevert:
(faking concern) Oh, am I, dear?
Adam:
You're doing this on purpose, aren't you? I'm going to go tell Dad.
Mrs. Prevert:
That's a good idea, dear. While you're at it, why don't you tell him that I just finished washing the dirty books I found in your closet. Your father would probably be very pleased to know that you have similar tastes in literature.
Adam:
...Okay, maybe I won't then.
Mrs. Prevert:
Wise move.
