Bathroom in the back

(Alex wakes up Daddy.)
Alex: Is it time to wake up? I need to build the fan.

Alex: Daddy, I don't have any clothes beside my bed. He wants me to get dressed. Before I build.


(Claire comes inside from checking out the garden with Mommy.)
Claire: Daddy! Our plants are bigger! Look! They’re all big!

Alex: But Daddy? I don’t want to have lunch here. I don’t like napping here.
Daddy: You don’t like napping here?
Alex: I like napping at our Tyler Place, um, cabin.


Mommy: I like our house.
Claire: I like the little house.
(Mommy laughs.)
Mommy: Do you like group?
Claire: No.


(Alex is playing Bob the Builder.)

Alex: Here’s where we are!
Alex: After we clean up this ground, we’ll start working!
Alex: Or we’ll have to build a circle right here, so Farmer Pickles sees it. We’ll put it in the store for him.

Alex: Before we get all this stuff, and start building, we need to clean up this ground.
Alex: Now hold on tight, and lift it up onto Harvey. Now Harvey, you pull it back. Good job, everyone! Now, let’s clean this up!

Alex (to Claire, angrily): I’m not gonna share anything today, because you’re not sharing that chair.
Claire: You can pretend Harvey is a chair.
Alex (angrily): No, that’s one of my trucks!
Claire: You can pretend Muck is a chair.
Alex (angrily): No!
Claire: You can pretend Scoop is a chair.
Alex (angrily): No!
Claire: You can pretend… that bag is a chair.
Alex (shouting angrily): No! Nothing can be a chair except this!!

Alex: And I don’t need to go, because I am building something. I don’t want to make Farmer Pickles even hotter.
