A scene from Daddy Day Care 2003
Charlie

What's going on?

Phil

Your worst nightmare.

Charlie

What?

Phil

[They walk out to where the actors for the test are, the actor for Mr. Carrot is in costume, but the actor who's supposed to play Mr. Broccoli is nowhere to be seen]

Mr. Broccoli's a no-show.

Actor

He got a callback for a potato chip commercial.

Charlie

These snack foods are killing us!

Phil

Yeah, I know...

Charlie

[looks around for a replacement for Mr. Broccoli, his eyes land on Marvin, a nerdy outcast who's pilfering through the mail]

Marvin!

Marvin

Yeah?

Phil

[to Charlie]

Marvin? The guy who smells the mail?

Charlie

[Marvin is seen sniffing the mail momentarily before walking over to Charlie and Phil] [quietly to Phil]

Yes, look; we need a guy who can wear a broccoli suit, not a normal person. [loudly] Marvin, my man! My friend Marvin! Hey man, what's going on today? Listen, we need a favor: We're having a little focus group in there and the guy who's supposed to wear the broccoli suit left, so you can put the suit on and cover for us.

Marvin

No...I just can't do the broccoli, cause it's just not me. Sorry... [notices the guy in the carrot suit] Hey, can I be the carrot, though?

Charlie

Yeah...Yeah, you can be the carrot! Let him try the carrot on!

Actor

No!

Charlie

You're gonna be the broccoli!

Actor

I don't wanna be the bush!

Charlie

It's not a bush, it's a stalk of broccoli! It's a strong stalk of broccoli!

Actor

[considering]

I'm pretty strong...

Charlie

Yeah, you can make that work! Let's go in here and you go switch this suit on and get the broccoli! Trust me on this thing, let's go!
