Ace-Morales Family/Transcript

before the revolving line of credit
Announcer: "Tonight on Supernanny..."

Announcer: "For the first time ever, Jo visits a family on a grandmother."

Grace: "Fetch me a teaspoon."

Announcer: "Who is stubborn."

George: "I'm just a little boy."

Grace: "You're eight years old;"

Announcer: "And wants people to grow down."

[George fetches Grace a teaspoon]

George: "Here's your stinkin' teaspoon. Happy?"

Grace: "Eat soap."

George: "What are you, nuts? It's toxic!"

Grace: "Eat shampoo."

Observation begins
George: "I used to go to school, but everything changed ever since Grandma came to live with us."

George talks to Jo
Jo:

George: "My dream is to become a doctor, because I want to find a cure for cancer."

Grace: "Boy, are you slacking off again? Look at that. You're almost as tall as me. That's ridiculous."

George: "I'm just a little boy,"

Grace: "You're eight years old,"

[George fetches Grace a teaspoon]

George: "Here's your stinkin' teaspoon. Happy?"

Grace: "Eat soap."

George: "What are you, nuts? It's toxic!"

Grace: "Eat shampoo."

Jo: "For me to observe was utterly unbelievable."

George tries talking to Grace
George: "Grandma, we need to talk to you right now!"

Grace: "Yeah, yeah. Get on with it. Can't you wait? You're almost as tall as me. Never grow."

George: "If we didn't grow, we'd never be grown-ups."

Grace: "Look at me. Am I growing? Certainly not."

George: "But you did once, Grandma. You never care about my dream of becoming a doctor or finding a cure for cancer."

Grace: "Whatever. Grow down instead of up."

George: "I don't have a social life! You don't let me go to school and have any fun. It's always "fetch me it!" or "I dare you not to go to school!". Maybe, I just want to be a normal boy and concentrate on my studies!"

Jo: "But Grace was having none of it. She blowed her top off and made poor George upset. It was utterly unbelievable."

Grace blows her top off
Grace: "Why, you lazy good-for-nothing brute!"

Jo confronts Grace
Jo: "I decided to confront Grace about her behavior with George."

Jo: "RIGHT NOW, YOU AREN'T ACTING LIKE A 59 YEAR-OLD GRANDMOTHER!!!!"

Grace: "Grow down instead of up."

[Jo raises her voice]

Jo: "THAT IS ENOUGH!!!!!!!"

[Grace rolls her eyes]

Jo: "Grace, why are you rolling your eyes?"

Grace: "That's what I must do. Grow down instead of up. No adults have to listen to others."

Jo: "You are going to a homeless shelter!"
