Louis in the Middle (2000)

Margo Harshman: Tawny Dean

Quotes 

• Twitty : What's with all this "Dudley Do-Right" stuff?

  Tawny : I've seen it before. My mother had a patient like this once. A 76-year-old man who woke up one morning, and decided he wanted his wife to only call him "Freak-Nasty."

• [pretending to be tied to railroad tracks] 

  Tawny Dean : [flatly]  Oh, no. It's the evil Twit-ty.

• Tawny Dean : Twitty, don't worry. No one knows the real Louis better than I do. And deep down, he's classy, caring... and very, very intelligent.

  Louis Stevens : [to Blake and Ivan]  I LOVE YOU, GUYS!

  Tawny Dean : I think I'm gonna keep an eye on him too.

• Louis Stevens : Okay, now is the part where you tell me I'm your hero and you can kiss me.

  Tawny Dean : Don't push it.

• Twitty : Dude, we're friends.

  Louis Stevens : Yeah, we are. I'm never gonna forget this.

  [standing in the middle of Twitty and Tawny, all with their arms around each other] 

  Tawny Dean : Yeah, I'm tearing up here.

• Tawny Dean : It's good that things are getting back to normal between us. Things are back to normal, right?

  [neither Louis or Twitty answers at first] 

  Louis Stevens : Em... Wait a second...

  [sticks two carrot pieces up his nostrils] 

  Louis Stevens : Okay, now we're back to normal!

  [Louis, Tawny and Twitty laughs] 

• Twitty : Yeah, Blake did a Doc Dennier's Hot Dog commercial, like, a couple of years ago.

  Louis Stevens : Doc Denniers? Right... Doc Denniers! That's right!

  Twitty : Yep, man, Blake's all about acting.

  Louis Stevens : I love that commercial. I remember the song. It goes, um... "If it's not Doc Denniers, you're just eating wieners."

  Twitty : Yeah, man, that's him.

  Louis Stevens : [to Tawny]  You remember that commercial?

  Tawny Dean : I don't eat wieners.

  Louis Stevens : Okay...

• Tawny Dean : Louis, you may not know this, but I'm fond of you. And so is Twitty. But we think... We're worried you've become a pod person.

  Louis Stevens : So... So, now that I have new friends, I'm a pod person?

  Tawny Dean : Don't take this the wrong way.

  Louis Stevens : [angry]  I can't help it! Every day, it's been like, "Louis, stop with the Brando," "Louis, get a new act..." How am I supposed to feel?

  Tawny Dean : [pauses]  You're taking this the wrong way.

• Tawny Dean : Louis' constant craving for approval combined with his youngest child syndrome has basically split his personality in two.

  Twitty : So what are we gonna do for him?

  Tawny Dean : We've gotta shock him back into reality. This calls for drastic measures.

• [Louis rides his bike, before he hears a yelling] 

  Tawny Dean : Help! Help!

  [Louis hears it, and sees a sign saying: "Damsel in distress". He goes on and finds another sign, which says: "That means you, Louis." Louis continues and sees Tawny in the middle of a train track] 

  Louis Stevens : Woah! What...? Tawny? What the heck are you doing? This isn't another one of your protests, is it?

  Tawny Dean : Are you going to save me or not?

  Louis Stevens : Save you from what?

  [train whistle follows. We see a small black model train, with a laughing Twitty driving it] 

  Louis Stevens : Twitty? You guys have completely lost your minds!

  Tawny Dean : Okay, I'm gonna talk you through this.

  Louis Stevens : Good.

  Tawny Dean : Okay, I'm tied to the tracks. The train is coming. The hero... that would be you... rides up on his bike and saves me. In the nick of time.

  [the train moves closer] 

  Tawny Dean : [flatly]  Oh, no... It's the evil Twitty... Save my life, and I will forever be your friend...

  [Louis doesn't react at once] 

  Tawny Dean : Hm? Beats the Heimlich maneuver.
