Can I watch "Cars" now?
(Alex is watching Wallace and Gromit in “A Grand Day Out”.)
Wallace: No cheese, Gromit!
Alex: They don't have any cheese.
Daddy: Why?
Alex: They ate it all.
Alex: So they had to buy some more at the grocery store at Costco, or at… um… … Ukrop's.
Daddy: Yeah.
(Mommy has a new pair of shoes for Claire.)
Claire: Mommy. Big.
Mommy: Yeah, they might be too big.
Claire: Shoes.
Mommy: You wanna sit on the bench?
Claire: Uh bench. Sit.
Mommy: I think they might be too big.
Claire: Big.
Mommy: We can try them.
Claire: Try.
Claire (pointing at the heart on her shoe): Heart. Heart.
Mommy: You're right! It's a heart!
Alex (still watching Wallace and Gromit): Look. Wallace is drawing a rocket ship! And there's Gromit. And a flower. And another flower (mumble).
Claire (watching Wallace and Gromit): Uh out.
Claire: Uh out.
Claire: Uh out.
Daddy: Uh out.
Claire: Ship.
Claire: Uh out.
Claire: Uh out.
Claire: Uh out.
Alex: Yeah Wallace went outta the rocket ship.
Claire: Mommy? Uh out!
Mommy: Out?
Claire: Ship!
Mommy: Yeah, ship!
Alex: And Wallace forgot his crackers.
Alex: Look, they're gonna fly up!
Alex: Gromit make the um, um, that um rocket ship fly up!
Alex: Look he are flying up -- they're flying up to the moon.
Claire (laughing): Uh dawwwg!
Alex: Look. They're falling.
Alex: What? What's that? What do you think, what's that, Daddy?
Daddy: I think it's the rocket ship.
Alex: I think it was something else, maybe a -- a handle, a, maybe it was a ball, maybe… maybe it's a rocket ship! You’re right!
(On TV, the moon appears in the porthole.)
Wallace (awed): Ohhhhhhh.
Claire (in the same tone): Ohhhhhhhh!
Alex: They flew up to the moon.
Alex: Will that ball come down? Wallace threw a ball and then it won't come down.
Alex: Now they're tryin' to walk on it. And they're goin' to that machine to get cheese.
Alex: Look it -- it turned into a robot. It's a robot.
Alex: Look the robot sees Wallace eating the cheese cracker, and Gromit, but, the – the robot doesn't want him to eat the cheese cracker, because – that's part of the moon.
Alex: Look, they flew away and now the robot's sad.
Daddy: Yeah.
Alex: But now he's happy! And he's waving at them.
Alex: They flew back to their house.
(Alex and Claire come home from school to find a new widescreen TV.)
Alex: Wow! Wow!
Alex: Wow! Look at our big! T! V!
Alex: I'm excited, Daddy!
Daddy: Me too!
Alex: Wow! It's amazing, Daddy!
Claire: Wow! TV. Up!
Claire: TV. Out. Off.
Alex: Can I watch “Cars” now?
Alex: I like my new TV.
Claire (talking on the toy phone): Hello? Uh Daddy.
(after nap, just before snack)
Mommy: Why are you whining?
Alex: Because I'm hungry and grouchy.
(snack time)
Daddy: One time, when I was a little boy, I really wanted some french fries, but I didn't have any, so I dug a big hole in the ground, and I dug and I dug and I dug until I found some.
Alex: You were pretending to be a doggie?
Daddy (laughing): Yeah!
Alex: At school I was playing like a doggie with Wyatt, while we were doing beanbags.
Daddy: You did?
Alex: Yeah, and we tryied to be a doggie and play together.
Daddy: That's silly, was that fun?
Alex: Yeah.
Alex: Can I have more french fries?
Daddy: That depends, are you gonna ask for them nicely, with a “May I” and a “Please”?
Alex: Please?
Daddy: May I…
(Pause.)
Daddy: …have more fries, please?
Alex: May I have some more veggie fries, please?
Daddy: Yeah!
Alex: They're very yummy.
Daddy: They're very yummy?
Alex: Yeah. I like them!
(Claire notices the Band-Aid on Mommy’s collarbone.)
Claire: Shirt.
Mommy: It's a Band-Aid.
Alex: What happened to you?
Mommy: I got hit with a TV.
(Pause.)
Alex: Oh.
Alex: If I'm a grown-up, and I hit my chest on the TV Mommy, I will get hurt. And I will get, I will get a Band-Aid on my chest. So I will feel better. And, your Band-Aid has Dora on it right?
Mommy: I think it's Diego, isn't it?
Alex: Oh, Diego.
