Carol: That's the sweetest, and most morally psychotic thing anyone's ever said to me. Richie: Hey! It's just the kind of guy I am...but I guess that's not good enough for you. Carol: Look Richie. Maybe we can try a simulated trial reconciliation...until Monday. Richie: Ah Carol, welcome home! Wait 'til I tell the kids.
Mike: Your Rambo doll's clothes are ready, your most exalted Ben. Ben: Oh Michael, we're not pleased, Rambo's crease here looks terrible. How's the man supposed to defend our country in wrinkled pants? Ben: Oh my cookies are ready Michael...and I like them hot. Mike: Right. Ben: Channel seven Mike. My cookies Michael I could swear I smelt them burning. Mike: Right! Ben: The phone Michael!
Mike, Ben: (singing) Pat a cake, pat a cake, bakers man, bake me a cake as fast as you can... Jason: Oh boys, you're both grounded until further notice. Ok? Smile come on!! Pat a cake...
Jason: Haa! I'm finished. Maggie: Oh, that's great honey. I knew you'd finish your paper today. Jason: No, not my paper. I couldn't concentrate on my paper. I have a list of baby names. Maggie: Oh. Jason: Here's my first choice, this is distinctive, it's commanding, it's noble, it's Julius. Maggie: Ha ha ha, Julius Seaver?!?!
Jason: Aha!! I got plenty more just in case. Maggie: Just in case of what? Jason: Well, well just in case he turned out to be a comedian. Maggie: Oh. Jason: And if he were an all-American, every day kid... Maggie and Jason: Beaver Seaver. Maggie: Jason, what if he's a girl? Jason: Oh oh, I better get back to work. Maggie: Jason I was thinking that if it's a girl, that we could name her, "Rebecca". Jason: Oh, Rebecca Seaver, that's pretty, I like that, I hope she looks just like you.
Maggie: Very impressive honey. I might even go so far as to say that your paper is brilliant. Jason: Well go so far, say it. What do you say we celebrate over dinner? Maggie: Oh good idea.Mike: Yes your Momness. Ben: Yes your Dadness Jason: We'll have two club sandwiches, just a hint of Mayo, on whole wheat toast. Maggie: Oh, and hold the crust. You know how we feel about crust.

Maggie: It's eight thirty guys. The eight o clock bus will be here in ten minutes.
Mike: But I still got to get ready. Jason: Ben! School.
guys with a stupid letter like that. Look I try to screen these things for you guys. You know, cut down on the junk mail, protect your valuable time. It's stuck to the ceiling in the boy’s john.
Maggie: Ben, the bus. Jason: Use it or lose it. Come on Ben. I think you're spending far too much time studying and not nearly enough horsing around.Maggie: Hey! Jason: I'm kidding. Ben knows when the old dad is kidding. Right Ben?
Ben: Aye my Lord. Jason: Aye my lord? Ben: It's from Robin Hood. It’s the school play this year. Jason: Oh! You mean you weren't calling me my lord as a measure of respect? Ben: Ha ha ha ha! That's funny dad. Maggie: See he does know when his old dad is kidding.Ben: And this year I'm going to get a part. Jason: Well let’s hope, but I remember last years auditions, how heart broken you were. Ben: Come on dad! I was just a kid.
Mike: I'll see you. Maggie: Jason!Mike: I don't know why that works, but it's really starting to burn me up.
Carol; You now, you shouldn't judge the school by the first day. And you have to overlook all the average people. It's a public school.Scott: Well I'm used to that Carol. You'd be surprised how many average people there are in Los Angeles. My old science teacher wouldn't even let me build a small model of a thermal
nuclear device for science project.Carol: Fission of fusion? Scott : Oh, fusion of course. Carol: Of course. Scott: I plan to fit in at this school. I've already joined the dance decoration committee. Carol: Oh, will you be at the dance tomorrow night? Scott: Sure. Carol: Will you, um, be dancing? Scott: I haven't made up my mind yet. I might just observe.Carol: Hi Mike. Mike: Hey skunk breath. Carol: Brother. Jason: Mike, is that you? Mike: What did I do? Jason: Nothing. What do you think? Mike: It's you dad. Jason: Yeah! That's what all the patients said. Ben: Dad, dad, wait till you... Jason: Up here Ben...
Jason: Well I hope the hours required rehearsing this part won't interfere with your studies.
Ben: That's the best part. I can be in the play, go to all the parties, and all I have to do is lay there. Jason: My son the rock. Ben: Yeah! Mike: Now Jason, I want to talk to you about this shirt. Now is this the proper image that you wish to convey, not only for yourself, but for the family that you represent? Jason: Yeah, alright! It's a shame though. I was thinking of wearing this when your mother and I chaperone your school dance.
Mike: What? Carol: You're not really going to chaperone? Jason: Had you going there for a second, didn't I? Mike: Put it there! Carol: Yeah! Mike: Alright! Jason: Hey, wait a minute. What's this? Carol: What? Jason; for the first time in your lives, you two agree on something. That's better.Mike: I thought you said you didn't care if they chaperoned or not. Carol: Well I don't. Really. Jason: Hey Carol you don't even go to these dances. Carol: Well I might go to this one. I'm keeping my options open.
Maggie: You see, I can’t wear this. Chaperones are supposed to look stodgy and respectable.
Jason: Hey, why don't you wear this one?Maggie: You think that dress is stodgy? Jason: This one? Stodgy? I'm kidding. I love this dress. It's my favorite dress. I have dreams about this dress.Maggie: Ok. Oh sweetheart, I haven't had the chance to tell you how surprised and happy I was that you changed your mind and agreed to do this. It shows real maturity. Jason: Well, that's me: mature, yet curiously juvenile. Maggie: And of course the fact that Carol's going had nothing to do with it al all.
Jason: Carol who? Maggie: It's ok. It's ok. I love you when you are hopelessly old fashioned. Jason: You realize this is exactly the sort of behavior we are supposed to prevent tomorrow night. Maggie: But this is tonight.
Scott: Isn't life crazy. I meet you for the first time yesterday and then I find out that we are on the same decorating committee. Carol: Crazy crazy crazy! My parents are chaperoning tonight. Scott: I'm sorry! Carol: Thank you. It came as quite a shock.Scott: I can imagine. My parents chaperoned once.Carol: How was it? Scott: It was mortifying. They, Carol, they danced. Carol: Oh my god!
Ward: Ah yes. Mrs. Hinkley: I don't know, maybe it is alright for a guy to run a psychiatric practice out of the home, and maybe it’s alright for a woman to go back to work just when her children need her
most. Maybe letting her offspring run wild is hunky dory, and maybe I’m just old-fashioned... Ward: Could be. Mrs. Hinkley: Ward, Ward I’m worried about the Seavers. The type of people we need for chaperoning should be able to control their own children. Ward: Wow, that's a pretty high standard.Scott: Boy! Your parents sound worse than mine.
Maggie: Hi honey1
Jason: Hi! You're home early. Maggie: slow news day.Jason: Oh well then the lord and lady of the manner have the castle all to themselves. Mike: Hey guys, how are you doing? Jason: I'll get it. N\Ben: That does it. I quit the play.Maggie: Ah, Ben. You're not going to be rock after all? Ben: No way! Friar Tuck sits on me. All through act two.Jason: Well uh, that's ok. We can chaperone another time. Well thank you for calling Mrs. Hitler, uh Hinkley. Alright. Bye. Maggie: You mean we aren't chaperoning? Jason: No. Mike: Ah somebody pinch me. Ah. This is great!Carol: No it's not.
Maggie: Jason, how can you stand there so calmly? Jason: Actually I have deeply rooted feelings of anger and hostility. I just refuse to give vent to them until we found out if there is some misunderstanding.
Maggie: I'll give her a vent. Carol: This will be all over school by tomorrow. Jason: Oh Carol, it will not. How's anybody going to hear? Mike: No, I’m not kidding. That's what they said: unacceptable. Oh hold on, I have someone else on the other line. Jason: Mike this is nothing to brag about. Mike: I know dad. Hello. Hi Jerry. Oh you heard. Yeah! They don't want my parents within a mile of that school.
Carol: I'll never live this down. Jason: Just a minute. Yesterday you were embarrassed because we were acceptable. Carol: Exactly. Now do you see what you are putting me through? Maggie: This is absolutely unbelievable! Mike: Yeah! We are garbage!Jason: You promise to hold your temper? Maggie: Yes. Jason: Are you lying? Maggie: Yes.
Mr. Hinkley: Bom! Hi ho, you must be the Seavers? Call me Jimbo. Jason: Hi ho! Mr. Hinkley: Go on in. I have BBQ to tail tonight. Jason: See, these re reasonable people.
Jason: Well I have two more words you won't like June. Mrs. Hinkley: Yes? Jason: No, no, now I'm getting carried away here. Maggie: It's ok Jason. Get carried away. Jason: No, I would like to make one more attempt at some real communication here. I... Mrs. Hinkley: Sport! When one goes out for an evening, one dresses properly for the occasion. Sport: But mother... Mrs. Hinkley: You know what mother likes.
Sport: Nuts! Mrs. Hinkley: Excuse me? Sport: Yes mother. Mrs. Hinkley: Children. Maggie: Hold on to your slip covers June cos I want t... Jason: Maggie Maggie, Maggie, Maggie! What's the point? We're not on the same planet here, and if we stay here nay longer, we are just going to make ourselves crazy. And we're probably going to end up hurling obscenities at this woman and what would that accomplish? Ah what the heck, let's give it a shot.Mr. Hinkley: June bug. These birds are very close.
Ben: Uh Oh! Jason: Hey Ben. Where's your brother. Be: At the dance. Jason: Where's your sister? Ben: In her room. Maggie: Where's the coach?
Ben: Hey dad, you're going to love this.
Mike: Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if they made it a crime just to talk my parents.Jason: Well I guess you wore the right dress.Mrs. Hinkley: uh uh uh uh! Oh nuts!Maggie: June, Jimbo! Mr Hinkley: Hey hey hey hey! Jason: Hey hey hey! Nice dance.
Mrs. Hinkley: The fact that you are here, doesn't make you chaperones. Maggie: And the fact that you are here, doesn't mean that you are here.
MC: Ok, now let’s go way back and do a little tribute to our ancestors. Here's some Jitty White folky rock and that means our chaperones must dance. Jason: Well as you pointed out, you are the chaperones.
(Song) Mash potato, I can do the alligator,
Jason: Come on Maggie, what do you say? Maggie: I say "Na na na na na"!Carol: I'll never be able to come back to this school again.
Jason: Sure.Ca: But dad! Oh! Ok, thanks. Mike: Ok, you guys got away with it once, but I don't want this to go to your heads. This is a hot dress mum. Maggie: Well... Mike: Please don't ever wear it in front of my friends again. Jason: Mike, go home. Maggie: Well I had fun.
Jason: So did I. Fogey rock indeed!Maggie: Well let’s go fogey. Jason: Let's rock.
