Martha Speaks, Season 1

Entire family:
Martha, be quiet!

Martha:
(gasps) What seems to be the problem?

Danny:
You talk too much!

Mariella:
You never stop jabbering!

Helen:
Sometimes I wish you never learned how to speak!

(Martha's feelings are crushed, and she slowly walks away.)

Granny Flo:
Bye-bye B, Sayounara S, too-dle-too T, adios A!

Martha:
Quiet, baby Jake! This is history in the making! This guy singing could become an international superstar!

Helen:
Except, I don't think he's going to win.

Martha:
Well, he might if we called a number of times and voted for him.

Mariella:
We can't do that, Martha. It would be dishonest. We're only allowed to vote once. (beat) Commercial's on! Popcorn time!

(Mariella gets up to find popcorn)

Danny:
(reads newspaper) Oh no, it says here that Granny's alphabet soup is really taking a licking. No, it's an expression. Taking a licking means something isn't going well. It says here that Grandma Flo is really losing money.

Alice:
Could you please get your nose out of that book for one minute? What are you reading something so interesting anyway?

Truman:
The Odyssey: It's a about a hero who's lost at sea, and he has to overcome all sorts of obstacles before he can get home!

Alice:
Does he see any whales? Because that's what you're about to see!

Danny blows up a balloon, puts icing on a cake, and nails a banner to the wall

Danny:
ahh... you've got a nap for this, Daniel!

(the phone rings)

Television advertisement:
Do you have an irresistible craving that nothing will stop? (explains the definition of "craving", Daniel peeks over) Maybe you crave the deep, rich ... perhaps you have a weakness, unstoppable urge for the thick chunky chocolate... (Daniel sweats and walks away)

Martha:
What about you?

Danny:
Hey, I was just thinking (touches the cookie jar) it's pretty silly to stop digging all at once. What if you just went outside and dug a little?

Martha:
Yeah, I know what you mean. :(Daniel stops touching the jar of cookies)

Television advertisment:
Crunchy graham crackers, chocolate nougat, all in one irresistible bar! The crave bar! It's what you crave! Come on! Give in to the urge!

Martha:
This is a matter of principle!

Danny:
Principle? A principle is something you believe in very, very strongly, like being a good neighbor. But there is one principle I believe in above all others. A man has the right to not be bossed around by any of his pets!

(Mariella is reading a book)

Mariella:
Good principle.
