LaMarche Family/Transcript

Before the revolving line of credit
Announcer: This week, on Supernanny...

Margaret: It's not a baby toy. It's a toy for Karen. She has 1p63 deletion syndrome.

Sheila: That toy is for babies and toddlers! Only babies and toddlers like it!

Announcer: Ola helps a family in Iowa with their daughter who had 1p36 deletion syndrome.

Sheila: Get out of that wheelchair right now!

[Sheila presses the button from the buckle of her wheelchair and carries her]

Announcer: Even the youngest doesn't like her.

Sheila: I don't like how you play with toys for babies!

Announcer: While she psychically abuses her...

[Sheila smacks Karen in the face, causing her to cry]

[Sheila kicks Karen while the latter is on the floor]

Announcer: ...she even forces the middle child to be like a normal teenager.

Sheila: You have to watch Glee right now!

Margaret: She can't watch Glee. She only watches Disney Junior.

Sheila: UGH!

Announcer: Not only she refuses to do her homework...

Sheila: THIS IS SO HARD FOR ME!

Announcer: ...but her chores as well!

[Sheila is forced to do the laundry]

Announcer: Will Ola stop this teen?

Sheila: I DON'T LIKE KAREN AND I DON'T LIKE YOU!

Submission reel
[We see multiple shots of Fairfield, Iowa as a taxi is shown driving]

Ola: I am travelling to Fairfield, Iowa to help a family of five consisting of two parents and three daughters. Let's have a look.

[she opens her laptop to see a middle-aged couple consisting of a blonde woman and a brunette male]

???: Hello, I'm Jerry and I am 45 years old.

''???: And I'm Betsy. 41 years old and we are the LaMarches. We have three daughters...''

[Cut to: Margaret putting on lipstick]

Betsy: Margaret is 17

[Cut to: Karen laying on the floor]

Jerry: Karen is 15.

[Cut to: Sheila doing her homework]

Betsy: And Betsy is 13.

Jerry: Karen has 1p36 deletion syndrome, which causes so many disabilities.

Betsy: She is the only disabled member in the family.

Jerry: Margaret loves to help Karen and even carries her.

[Cut to: Margaret carrying Karen]

Betsy: She even lets her play with her toys.

[Cut to: Margaret using Karen's hands to play with a mini toy piano]

Jerry: But Sheila doesn't like it and thinks that the toys Karen plays with are for babies.

[Sheila snatches a Fischer Price toy from Karen]

Sheila: YOU ARE WAY TOO OLD FOR FISCHER PRICE TOYS!

[Sheila throws it at Karen, causing her to cry]

Betsy: She even tries to get Karen off of her wheelchair.

Sheila: Get out of that wheelchair right now!

[Sheila presses the button from the buckle of her wheelchair and carries her]

Observation begins
[Ola arrives at the LaMarche house]

[Jerry opens it]

Jerry: Oh thank goodness you are here.

Ola: Why thank you.

Betsy: It's so nice to see you!

[Betsy hugs Ola]

Ola: So, where are the girls?

Jerry: They are in the living room.

[The parents show Ola the living room where Sheila is eating Oreos, Margaret is reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and Karen is playing with her iPad while on her wheelchair]

Sheila: Who are you, anyways?

Ola: I'm Ola Smith and I'm your nanny.

[Sheila scoffs]

Sheila: Whateves.

Naughty Tuffet
[Karen is playing with her VTech Starshine the Bright Lights Unicorn]

[Sheila sees it]

Sheila: Oh my god, is that a baby toy?

Margaret: It's not a baby toy. It's a toy for Karen. She has 1p63 deletion syndrome.

Sheila: That toy is for babies and toddlers! Only babies and toddlers like it!

Margaret: Oh yeah, and so is Karen! She is 15 years old.

Sheila: I DON'T CARE! THAT TOY IS FOR BABIES AND THAT IS FINAL!

[Sheila pushes Margaret]

Margaret: Ugh! You don't push me!

[Sheila comes over to Karen]

Sheila: You're too old for playing with that baby toy! Give me that!

[Sheila takes the VTech Starshine the Bright Lights Unicorn from Karen]

Margaret: Hey, give that back!

Sheila: I don't care! That toy is for babies and toddlers! Only babies and toddlers like it!

[Sheila throws the VTech Starshine the Bright Lights Unicorn on the ground]

Sheila: Karen should like things teenagers love like iPhones, shopping, painting nails and watching teen shows like Pretty Little Liars and Glee!

Margaret: But Pretty Little Liars is too dark for Karen! Plus, Glee has teenage pregnancy in it and she doesn't want to be pregnant as a teen!

[Betsy and Jerry come in]

Betsy: What's all the fuss?

Margaret: Sheila pushed me and took the unicorn away from Karen!

Sheila: But Karen's too old!

Jerry: Alright that does it! You are going into the Naughty Tuffet and that is final young lady!

[Jerry takes Sheila to the Naughty Tuffet]

Betsy: You should stay there for 13 minutes!

[Ola sets the 13 minute timer]

Ola: I set the time to 13 minutes!

Sheila: Ugh! Why can't Karen like the stuff me and Margaret like?!

Thought Box
Ola: I introduced the eldest Margaret to the Thought Box where she writes about how she feels and how she thinks of her family.

Ola: Okay so, Margaret. This is the Thought Box. You can discuss your opinions on your sisters and your parents, too.

Margaret: While I felt left out due to my sister, Sheila's behavior, Ola showed me the Thought Box.

Ola: Don't discuss your opinions to youself, only your family.

Margaret: Okay.

Ola: Does it sound good?

Margaret: Yeah.

Ola: Okay, so which member of your family would you like to discuss your opnion on?

Margaret: Karen.

Ola: What is your opinion on her?

Margaret: She is very nice and very sweet. I like to give her toys to play with, an iPad so she can watch videos and play games, and even a coloring book to draw.
