Earl Sinclair : Hey, kids. Is it off? Did they take it off yet?
TV Announcer : The Smoo Show, now on seven nights a week.
[Earl Sinclair moans]
Robbie Sinclair : Nice day's work, Dad.
Charlene Sinclair : Yeah.
Earl Sinclair : Thanks, Mr. Negative. I'll have you know we were out planting the seeds of change. You just wait. Those seeds are gonna bear fruit.
TV Announcer : Then, from the producers of The Smoo Show, it's The Flark Show followed by Kiss My Glick.
Robbie Sinclair : Who can say, Dad? It's probably just a coincidence.
Charlene Sinclair : Yeah, you got them on the run. A couple more protest raillies, they'll make it into a mini-series.
Earl Sinclair : Ha, ha, ha. You have anything to say?
Baby Sinclair : Flark, bad. Glick, bad.
Earl Sinclair : There, see? My message got through.
Baby Sinclair : Smoo? That's funny!
[laughs]
Earl Sinclair : Oh, this is so discouraging. TV has become the cesspool of vulgarity.
Fran Sinclair : Then why don't you just turn it off?
Earl Sinclair : Because, I shouldn't have to turn off my TV set, ever! I worked my whole life, I raised my family. I wanna be able to park them in front of the TV, and I know they're gonna watch good, clean, time-consuming, energy-sapping entertainment. So by the time I get home, they can barley wave hello.
Fran Sinclair : Well, obviously, the TV network dosen't care how you feel.
Earl Sinclair : Then I'm gonna have to go over their heads.

Baby Sinclair : [in the house] It's not my bath time. What's going on?
Fran Sinclair : We'll just see if we can't wash those dirty words out of your mouth with a little soap.
Baby Sinclair : [mumbling] I don't like this.
[Fran Sinclair takes the soap out of Baby Sinclair's mouth]
Fran Sinclair : Now. Any dirty words left in there?
[Baby Sinclair blows a bubble]
Baby Sinclair : [bubble pops] Smoo!
[laughs]
Robbie Sinclair : Good work, Mom. I'm sure we've all learned a valuable lesson.
[Baby Sinclair hiccups]
Baby Sinclair : [bubble pops] Smoo!
Fran Sinclair : Oh!
[Baby Sinclair chuckles and door opens]
Fran Sinclair : [Earl Sinclair groans] Hi, honey. Are you all right?
[Earl Sinclair grumbles]
Robbie Sinclair : Hey, Dad, some jerk put a sign on your back.
Earl Sinclair : It was Mr. Richfield. And I think you kids called him enough names for one day.
Robbie Sinclair : You're home now. Don't you think you can take it off?
Earl Sinclair : I would, but it's covering an unsightly wound.
[Earl Sinclair groans]
Robbie Sinclair : Oh.
