Dialogue

[from trailer]

Harper Decker-Simmons: [with a mouthful of cake] Mom, you lied to me! Yogurt is not like ice cream!

Diane Decker: Bravo! Oh, wow! Harper, that was wonderful!

Harper Decker Simmons: I stunk.

Diane Decker: You most certainly did not!

[to Dr. Schveer]

Diane Decker: Wasn't she wonderful?

Dr. Schveer: No. This will *not* be good enough for your audition. You must practice more! When my daughter underperforms, I shun her. *This* girl should be shunned!

Artie Decker: [singing] Come out, come out, Mr. Doody. And swim in the swimming pool. I know it's dark when you're hiding, but out here it's really cool. [pauses] Come on, come on, Mr. Doody. 'Cause we've got something to do. And if you hurry, you'll meet Carl the kangaroo.
