(Michael hits Christina)

Christina: OW! MICHAEL!

Narrator: Jo visits The Spengler Family.

Jo: I can see that this family is going nowhere fast. But, arguing, screaming, and yelling doesn't work.

Narrator: With Christina and Jay handling six kids, they feel like they've reached the edge.

Christina (crying): What am I supposed to do with my kids?

Bruce: Stay on your own side!

Kelly: Whatever.

Narrator: Can Jo put an end to this madness?

Jay: Just calm down and tell me how you feel.

Narrator: Or will the kids continue the circus?

Lola: Na na na na poo poo head!

Submission Reel
Jo: Well, here I am in Plattsburgh, New York. There's a family that desperately needs my help! Let's see who it is, shall we?

Jay: Hello, I'm Jay!

Christina: And I'm Christina!

Jay and Christina (together): And we're the Spenglers!

Christina: We have six children; three girls and three boys. Our oldest is Bruce, who's 18.

Bruce: SHUT UP, KELLY!

Christina: Kelly, who is 17.

Kelly: OMG, what is your problem, Bruce! All I did was sing in the shower!

Jay: Kelly and Bruce really have quite a sibling rivalry.

Bruce: Stay on your own side!

Kelly: Whatever.

Kelly: Are you gonna pick it up?

Bruce: No. You?

Jo: Wow, these two are teenagers and they still don't get along?! Unbelievable.

Christina: We have three-year-old quadruplets. We have Michael.

Michael: (cries) GIVE IT BACK!

Jay: Nope.

Christina: Trevor.

Trevor: Hey, Lola! Stop that!

Lola: NO!

(Jo shakes her head)

Christina: Lola.

Lola: Stinky poopy butt!

Christina: That's not nice, Lola!

Christina: And Staci.

Staci: Pee pee head!

Jay: Our quadruplets are.... insane.

(A montage of the quadruplets running around the house, screaming, and having tantrums is shown)

Jo: Oh my word! Can you say, "circus"?

Christina: We try to go out in public, but they are just crazy.

(Trevor kicks another car in the parking lot)

Christina: TREVOR!

(Jo looks shocked)

Lola: GIVE ME PIZZA NOW!

Christina: HEY! EXCUSE ME!

Jay: Shhh!

Christina (crying): We've tried time outs, but they are so ineffective. I don't know what else to do. Supernanny, please help us!

Jay: Yes, please help us!

Jo: Jay and Christina, fear not, Supernanny is on the way!

Observation Begins
(Jo approaches the door of the Spengler Family and rings the doorbell)

Staci: SUPERNANNY'S HERE!

Lola: SUPERNANNY'S HERE!

(Michael and Trevor squeal with delight)

(Christina answers the door)

Jo: Hello!

Christina: Hi! Welcome, Jo! I'm Christina!

Jo: Hello, Christina! Nice to meet you!

Christina: Won't you come in?

Jo: Yes, thank you!

Christina: When Jo walked in, I thought, "Yes! Finally, some help I need!"

(Lola and Staci jump with excitement)

Jo: My goodness, we have some excited little ones here! What's your name, sweetheart?

Lola: I'm Lola!

Jo: Lola, lovely name! Nice to meet you! And who are you?

Staci: Staci.

Jo: Hi, Staci! Pleasure to meet you! And who are these two in the back?

Jay: That's Michael, and that's Trevor.

Jo: Hello, Michael and Trevor! Come and shake Jo Jo's hand, yeah?

(Michael and Trevor are a little shy)

Christina: I think they're a little shy.

Jo: That's alright. Nice to meet you!

(Bruce and Kelly arrive home from school)

Jo: By the time I arrived, I saw Bruce and Kelly coming home from school.

Bruce: Hey there, I'm Bruce.

Jo: Hi, Bruce! I'm Jo! Nice to meet you!

Kelly: Hi, I'm Kelly!

Jo: Kelly! Jo Frost, pleased to meet you! So, you guys do what you typically do and I'll be observing what goes around here. Okay?

(Cut to the living room)

Jo: What I first saw was Kelly and Bruce doing their homework in the living room. However, it wasn't long before I heard the quadruplets make a big fuss downstairs.

Lola: HEY, MICHAEL! Give it!

Michael: Na na na!

Lola: I mean it! Stop!

(Trevor wrestles Staci. Staci cries.)

Christina: HEY! NO! NO, NO!

(Jo looks shocked)

Jo: I could tell right off the bat it was mayhem.

Christina: YOU DON'T DO THAT TO YOUR SISTERS! DO YOU UNDERSTAND?! IF I SEE YOU DOING THAT AGAIN, YOU'RE GOING STRAIGHT TO YOUR ROOM!

(Trevor and Michael make faces at Christina)

Christina: You know what, that's not nice! We're going to the room! Let's go!

Michael: NO! NO!

Trevor: NOOOOOOOO!

(Michael and Trevor both have tantrums when being taken to their rooms)

Jo: I felt the room wasn't an effective time out area, considering they have all the toys. But just then, I heard Kelly and Jay have some beef.

Kelly: So what if I'm failing?! Is that too much to ask?!

Jay: I WANT YOU TO GET INTO (BLEEP)ING COLLEGE AND HAVE A GREAT EDUCATION! IT DOES MATTER TO ME AND YOUR MOTHER ABOUT YOUR ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE! LOOK AT YOUR GRADES FROM YOUR LAST REPORT CARD; THREE D's, ONE C, AND TWO F'S! AND NOT TO MENTION, YOU'RE ALREADY FAILING IN THREE CLASSES!

Kelly: School's too hard! Big deal!

Jay: Oh, I'll tell you what the big deal is! If you don't improve these grades, you're gonna repeat 11th grade! Do you want to do that or do you want to go on and graduate?

Kelly: (cries) I wanna graduate like Bruce. Even though he's a big (bleep) to me.

Bruce: You know what, I can't take this bull(bleep) anymore.

Jay: You're staying here and studying and doing your homework all night long! Okay? Enough is enough!

(Jo is shocked again)

Jo: (whispers) He said a mouthful!

Narrator: Coming up on Supernanny!

(Michael, Lola, and Staci chase each other during dinner time)

Dinner time become a disaster for the quadruplets!

(Trevor cries)

Christina: Trevor, stop it!

Narrator: Plus, Jo sits down with Christina and Jay on how to improve their parenting styles.

Christina (crying): What am I supposed to do?!

Narrator: When Supernanny returns!
