Zonker: Okay, Alex, time to turn off the tube! Hear me, ,Alex? Alex: No! No! Zonker: Alex... Alex: I wanna watch TV! Zonker: Alex, I told you that's your limit for the day! Alex: Waaa! Zonker: You can cry all you want, young lady, but you've had enough TV! There's more to life than the Disney Channel! It's time to do some things by yourself - color, look at your books, anything, but we're going to give the TV a rest. Alex: I hate you, Zonker! Zonker: I'm sorry, honey. Mike: You're getting a raise. Zonker: Well, I just think nine hours is enough.
