Jenkins Family/Transcript

Before the Revolving Line of Credit
Announcer: "Tonight on Supernanny..."

Alexandra: "I HATE MY LIFE!"

[Alexandra hits Liam]

Talk with Mom
Jo: " "

Nora: "Christmas was seriously dreadful as Alexandra refused to spend the holidays with the family. She called her boyfriend Norbert who used his father's credit card to buy plane tickets to spend Christmas in Hawaii. Alexandra stole money out of my wallet and used it to buy a Christmas present for him. And as a result, she received nothing but coal in her stocking and she opened up her only present to reveal a cursive note from Santa Claus shortly after she was brought home by the Hawaiian police. And she attacked Liam for being the only one in this family to get presents and knocked over the Christmas tree hitting Liam's face. Briefly after that, she decided to spend New Year's Eve with Norbert and got a hold of him again and she took off with him."

Alexandra Gets Busted
Nora: "Alexandra Jeanette Jenkins!!"

Jo: "You can bet that Alexandra was in trouble."

Nora: "What is this I hear about you and Norbert smoking pot?"

Alexandra: "IT'S MY LIFE!!!! GOD, STOP BEING SUCH A FUCKING NAG!!!"

Nora: "Hey, you don't talk to me like that, young lady!"

[Liam is playing Pokemon White on his Nintendo 3DS in his bedroom when he hears the commotion]

Liam: "I was playing my Pokemon game when I heard mom and Alexandra yelling."

Alexandra: "I'M ENTITLED TO HAVE FRIENDS!"

Nora: "Those friends are a bad influence and I want you to have friends around your age, not smokers or drinkers!"

[Liam walks out of his bedroom with his DS system in hand and into where Nora and Alexandra are arguing]

Liam: "What is going on?"

Alexandra: "GET THE HECK OUT OF HERE, YOU DISGUSTING LITTLE WORM!"

[Alexandra punches Liam]

Liam: "Ow! Alexandra, stop that!"

[Alexandra punches Liam rapidly]

Alexandra: "Out of my sight!"

[Liam looks like he's about to cry]

Alexandra: "GET OUT OF MY SIGHT!"

[Liam runs crying]

Alexandra: "Keep rolling those tears, and boy, I'll throw you out of this house!"

Jo: "Nora and Alexandra continued to argue after Alexandra punched her younger brother."

Nora: "Alexandra, no! You do not hit your little brother!"

Alexandra: "DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!!!! AND CALL ME ALEX!"

Jo: "All right, I've seen enough. I'll be expecting to see you tomorrow morning for a parent meeting."

Alexandra: "Right now, the way you're acting is pissing me off! You are in no position to speak to me like that! YOU'RE TO DO WHAT I FUCKING WELL-DONE-WELL-TELL YOU IN THIS HOUSE! And who's responsibility is it that I hit him? LIAM'S! And who's fully responsible? YOU! YOU'RE SO UNGRATEFUL! I'LL SHUT YOU UP WITH SOME STURDY DUCT TAPE! So, unless you want it to happen, GET THE HELL OUT OF MY FUCKING SIGHT!!!"

Announcer: "Coming up on Supernanny...Jo lays down the law."

Parent Meeting
Jo: "Alexandra's behavior is absolutely appalling! Has she always behaved like this?"

Nora: "It depends...I think it was when she met her boyfriend Norbert, whom my husband and I disapprove of because of his juvenile record and drug use."

Jo: "You do realize that Norbert could be charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor?"

Nora: "We tried to tell her that, but she wouldn't listen..."

Jo: "Also, Alexandra could be in trouble with the law as well."

Announcer: "Coming up on Supernanny..."

House Rules
Jo: "Today, there's going to be some rules that need to be addressed here."

Nora: "Number 1: Always let mom or dad know where you are going and when you will be back."

Nora: "Number 2: No sneaking out of the house at night."

Alexandra: "LAME!!!!"

Nora: "Number 3: No more smoking, drinking alcohol or drug use."

Alexandra: "FUCK THIS, CUNT!!!"

Nora: "Number 4: No swearing."

Steve: "I think rules will help my daughter improve her behavior."

Later on

[Nora goes upstairs to take Alexandra's bedroom door off]

Nora: "Since Alexandra's been sneaking out at night, I took the door off so I can see what she is doing or if she is sneaking out or doing drugs."

[Alexandra is crying]

Alexandra: "WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME?!?"

Nora: "Until we can trust you to behave, you bedroom door is being taken off."

Alexandra: "WELL, I FIND IT UNFAIR! I REALLY DO!"

Nora: "Those are the rules. And until---"

[Alexandra shoves Nora]

Steve: "Don't you dare push your mother!"

Alexandra: "I'm sick of you fucking with my life!!!"

Steve: "That's it, you're grounded. School, Chores, Homework. No cell phone, no TV, no nothing for a month."

Alexandra & Jo: "WHAT?!?!"

Nora: "You heard your father."

Alexandra: "MOM, ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO YOURSELF?!"

Nora: "Not another word."

Steve: "GO TO YOUR ROOM, NOW!"

Jo: I had to step in.''

Jo: "Steve, don't you think you're over-exaggerating?"

Steve: "I've had it with her, what do you expect?"

[Alexandra throws a placemat at Nora before storming off]

Jo: "Alexandra went upstairs in temper so I decided to talk to her about it."

[Alexandra is still crying on her bed when Jo approaches her.]

Jo: "Alexandra?"

Alexandra: "Shut up!"

Jo: "No, this isn't Mum. This is Jo. Can I talk to you for a minute?"

Alexandra: "Umm... okay."

Jo: "She was reluctant at first, but realized that I'm not that big mean nanny most kids portray me to be."

Jo: "Look, just because you're thirteen does not mean you're an adult yet. You don't have to act so grown up, you know? Just enjoy every moment of childhood that you can."

Alexandra: "I now totally understand why my mom was so upset. It was then that I started to think, 'Maybe my choices haven't been so great after all.'"

Time for Jo to go
Jo: "Alexandra's behavior has changed for the better. And part of that happens to be her realization that her choices were leading to a life of self-destruction."
