A scene from Mrs. Doubtfire 1993
Alan Brady

[The kids are watching The Dick Van **** Show on the television]

Here it is, Mel, $1,000 worth of hair. What am I supposed to do with it?

Melvin Cooley

Alan, I was wondering if...

Alan Brady

You want one of them? I'd rather make a coat for my wife. [pokes a head mannequin off the table] Pick it up! Pick it up! Pick it up!

Mrs. Doubtfire

All right, everyone. It's time to expand your minds. It's homework time. Okay?

Lydia

Yeah, but after Dick Van ****.

Mrs. Doubtfire

No. Now. [turns off the TV]

Lydia

[turns the TV back on with the remote control]

No. We always watch Dick Van ****. [sets it down]

Mrs. Doubtfire

[picks it up, calmly]

Really? Well- [tosses the remote into the air; it lands behind her in the fish tank] Not anymore. The only thing you'll be watching is Deep Sea N N. [turns to the kids, who are wide-eyed] Now! I know you're used to loosey-goosey, but I run a much tighter ship. Between the hours of 3 p.m. and 7 p.m., I'm in charge, and when I'm in charge, you will follow a schedule. Those who do not follow the schedule will be punished.

Nattie

Punished?

Lydia

She's lying. She'd never punish us.

Mrs. Doubtfire

[evilly]

Don't...fuss with me.
[Cut to Chris wiping the door frame, Nattie polishing the silver and Lydia vacuuming; Lydia gives Mrs. Doubtfire an "I hate you" look as Mrs. Doubtfire sits on the couch reading the paper and sipping iced tea]
