• Concerned mother : [At the toy convention, Frank's trying to talk to Jeff, when a bunch of 'concerned mothers' come over]  We represent the Anti-Violence Ambiance Association. We are against you, and all your toys, your TV image...

  Frank Falcone : [Frank cuts them off]  I don't care what you think. Kids are my big concern.

  Concerned mother : [Snarkily]  We all have children, Mr. Falcone.

  Frank Falcone : Oh yeah? Well, who's watching them, lady?

  [to Jeff] 

  Frank Falcone : It's uh... what, what time you got there? Oh yeah. They should be out of school. I mean, you're down here, at the convention hall, doing your 'concerned parent' number, and who's taking care of them?

  Concerned mother : We're addressing ourselves to larger issues...

  Frank Falcone : Wha-what's larger than what's happening to your kids? Huh? What are they eating? Huh? What are they putting into their mouths while you're working yours, huh?

  [Jeff tries to stop Frank, and Frank ignores him] 

  Frank Falcone : Where are they - right now - right this minute? Can you tell me that, lady? Huh? Y-you-know-what's on afternoon reruns? 'Godzappa Eats Wolfman'.

  [Frank's voice gets higher, and more agitated] 

  Frank Falcone : You think thats good for children? You think they're not gonna watch... who's home to tell them 'no'? My show's on at 10pm. They should be in bed by 10pm!

  Concerned mother : Your toys...

  Jeff Seales : [Interjects, nervously smiling]  Our toys have a... a psychological counter... vI-violent quality, I'd like to point out to you...

  [Walks over to them, and starts to steer them away from Frank] 

  Jeff Seales : Now

  [nervously chuckles] 

  Jeff Seales : , if you just, uh, follow me, ladies, I Would like to explain to you this, uh, psychological design.
