A scene from Cheaper by the Dozen 1950
Repairman

All those kids yours, mister. Or is this a picnic?

Frank

They're all mine and believe me, it's no picnic!

Man on street

Hey, Noah. What are you doing with that Ark?

Frank

Collecting animals like the good Lord told me brother. All we need now is a jackass. Hop in!

Mailman

All those kids yours?

Frank

Oh, these aren't so many. You ought to see the ones we left behind.

Mailman

How you ever feed them?

Frank

Oh, they come cheaper by the dozen.

Frank

No person with inner dignity is ever embarrassed.

Frank

Darling, you know I am happy with our little brood, but you should have had more boys!

Lillian

I'm sorry, dear. I'll try to be more careful with the next dozen.
