More mushrooms! They're good for your heart.


(Mommy, Alex, and Claire return home from the grocery store. Daddy is playing Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince on Xbox 360. Alex walks in first.)
Alex: Daddy! You’re watching the boy again!
Daddy: That’s right!
Alex: You’re watching Harry! His name’s Harry!
Daddy: That’s right!

(Claire walks in.)
Claire: Uh home!


(Alex and Claire help to unload groceries.)

Alex: Tomatoes!

Alex: There’s no room in this cabinet! There’s too many things in there!

Alex (finding a jar of mushrooms): Beans! Are these beans?
Daddy: They’re good for your heart.
Mommy: Those are mushrooms.
Alex: Mushrooms.

(A little later, Alex finds another jar of mushrooms.)
Alex: More mushrooms! They’re good for your heart.


(dinner time)

(Alex breaks off a small piece off of his bread, which he has been referring to as "Harry".)
Harry: Oh no, my foot!
(Alex puts the piece of bread into his mouth.)
Daddy: What happened to it?
Alex: It broke!
Daddy: And where'd it go?
Alex (shoving the rest of the bread into his mouth): It went into the tunnel!

Claire: Water. I want more water.
Daddy: Well, what do you say, Claire?
Claire (to Daddy): "Mommy… Mommy…"

(Alex is talking about "dot com".)
Daddy: Alex, what's a dot-com?
Alex: From a commercial!

Alex: I love my daddy.

Alex (singing): My daddy, my daddy, my daddy…


Alex: I want Mommy to take me a bath.
Daddy: You don’t want Daddy to take you a bath?
Alex: I want Mommy. She's my best friend again.


(bed time)
Alex: My daddy, can you sleep with me?

Alex: Why can I go back to the … … … … … gym? I mean -- what's it called? Where we went to Neer's party?
Daddy: The museum.
Alex: Why can I go back to the museum?
