Transcript:
April: Mom... I'm bored. I've got nothin' to do. Mom, can I go to Becky's? Elly: No, honey. It's too close to supper time. April: But, I wanna go to Becky's! Elly: Not tonight. April: Aaaugh! It's no fair! John: April, that's no way to behave. First of all, you need more angst in your voice. And try some floor pounding. Like this! Aag! Why can't I go?!! Aaaaaaahh! Then, you could roll over. AAAAAUUGHH!! April: Daddy, cut it out. John: What? April: I said stop it. You're being stupid. John: ...Oh. Elly: April's quiet. Did you have a talk with her? John: Uh huh. Elly: Good! It's about time she learned how to handle things with a little more maturity.
