Dialogue

Ron: Hey, James, we're going to the nature center, you wanna come with us?

James: Are you gonna see Ranger Mike?

Shaina: Yeah, he's gonna show us some frogs and tadpoles.

James: Then, count me out, I don't want to have anything to with frogs, tadpoles, or polliwogs today.

Ron: All right, son, we'll see you later.

James: Oh, man, look what you did know, Binyah Binyah.

Binyah Binyah: Sorry.

Natalie: It's all right, I can buy another broom.

James: It's not all right, Mom, every time we start having fun, he messes it up!

Natalie: James, I think you need to take a time out in the house.

James: That's not fair!

Natalie: James!

James: You need to take a time out too, far, far away.

Binyah Binyah: [purring]

Vanessa: He didn't mean it, Binyah Binyah.

Bryan: Yeah, he just got mad, but he really loves you.

Natalie: We all do.

Marisol: Yeah.

Vanessa: Where's he going, Aunt Natalie?

Natalie: I don't know, sweetheart.

Bryan: Come back, Binyah Binyah, come back!

James: Binyah Binyah? Binyah Binyah?

Natalie: Don't worry about Binyah Binyah, he'll be all right.

James: But I have to worry, Mom, this is all my fault.

Bryan: Is Binyah Binyah back yet?

Vanessa: Nope, we haven't seen high nor here of the poor little critter.

Armando: We should start looking for him.

James: It's no use, he's never coming back.

Marisol: What?

Vanessa: James said Binyah Binyah isn't coming back, because he was mean to him.

Bryan: He wouldn't run away forever.

Armando: Yeah, my sister's mean to me all the time, but I keep on coming back home.

Marisol: What do you mean I'm mean to you, you're always the one that's picking on me.

Armando: Am not!

Marisol: Are too.

Armando: Am not!

Marisol: Are too!

James: See? I already started an argument without even trying to.

Vanessa: Get a grip, James, they argue all the time, even if you're not there to start it.

Bryan, Armando, and Marisol: Vanessa!

Vanessa: Oops, sorry.

James: Boy, I wouldn't blame you guys if you never spoke to me again.

Juana: Armando, didn't I just ask you to go home?

Armando: Uh... um... I was just leaving!

James: Uh-oh!

Juana: Armando!

Armando: Yes, Mommy?

Juana: Why won't you listen to me, Armando?

Armando: I'm sorry, Mommy, but you make too many rules. You guys don't like rules around here either, right?

Kids: Right!

Vanessa: We always have some rules to remember.

James: Or some chore to do!

Armando: Why do we have to follow rules?

Vanessa: Yeah, we'd be much happier without them!

Ron: You think so?

Vanessa: We know so. Right, guys?

Kids: Yeah!

Ron: I think it's time for a little parent timeout, so...

Natalie: Timeout...

Juana: Timeout...

Ron: What is going on in here?

James: Dad, they took our space!

Vanessa: It is not yours!

James: And they took our polliwog too!

Natalie: Calm down! Binyah Binyah's everybody's friend.

Binyah Binyah: Yeah.

Natalie: But you guys aren't acting like friends to each other, are you?

Ron: I think everybody here needs a timeout.

James, Armando, Bryan and Greg: Oh, come on!

Ron: Come on, girls. Let's step outside for a minute.

Shaina: But what about them? They're the ones who hogged the living room!

Vanessa, Jessica and Mia: Yeah!

Ron: Don't worry about them. Come on.

Natalie: Yes, I'll talk to them!
