A scene from Beethoven 1992
Devonia

Now, you were never in any real danger, now, were you? Now, we don't want you to get into trouble, so we'll let this be our little secret.

I'd like to call my mother, please.

Devonia

Your mother?

Immediately.

Devonia
[after Emily's pool accident at Devonia's, Alice takes the kids home]

She must've snuck out while I was watching Ted and Ryce. It was hot out, so I guess she wanted to take a little swim!

And where were you while all this was happening?

Devonia

I was where I was supposed to be: Inside, watching the other two. If Emily had stayed where I put her, none of this would've happened. If you ask me, what these children need is a little discipline.

What these children need is their mother. You're fired.

[Devonia gasps]

Honey, it was an accident!

So what?

We can't just throw out the option of having a babysitter just because we had a bad one. We'll find someone really responsible to look after the kids.

Over my dead body.

Oh, come on.
