- James: Oh, man, look what you did know, Binyah Binyah.
- Binyah Binyah: Sorry.
- Natalie: It's all right, I can buy another broom.
- James: It's not all right, Mom, every time we start having fun, he messes it up!
- Natalie: James, I think you need to take a time out in the house.

- Bryan: Come back, Binyah Binyah, come back!
- James: Binyah Binyah? Binyah Binyah?
- Natalie: Don't worry about Binyah Binyah, he'll be all right.
- James: But I have to worry, Mom, this is all my fault.
- Bryan: Is Binyah Binyah back yet?
- Vanessa: Nope, we haven't seen high nor here of the poor little critter.
- Armando: We should start looking for him.
- James: It's no use, he's never coming back.
- Marisol: What?
- Vanessa: James said Binyah Binyah isn't coming back, because he was mean to him.
- Bryan: He wouldn't run away forever.
- Armando: Yeah, my sister's mean to me all the time, but I keep on coming back home.
- Marisol: What do you mean I'm mean to you, you're always the one that's picking on me.
- Armando: Am not!
- Marisol: Are too.
- Armando: Am not!
- Marisol: Are too!
- James: See? I already started an argument without even trying to.
- Vanessa: Get a grip, James, they argue all the time, even if you're not there to start it.
- Bryan, Armando, and Marisol: Vanessa!
- Vanessa: Oops, sorry.
- James: Boy, I wouldn't blame you guys if you never spoke to me again.
- Juana: Armando, didn't I just ask you to go home?
- Armando: Uh... um... I was just leaving!
- James: Uh-oh!
- Juana: Armando!
- Armando: Yes, Mommy?
- Juana: Why won't you listen to me, Armando?
- Armando: I'm sorry, Mommy, but you make too many rules. You guys don't like rules around here either, right?
- Kids: Right!
- Vanessa: We always have some rules to remember.
- James: Or some chore to do!
- Armando: Why do we have to follow rules?
- Vanessa: Yeah, we'd be much happier without them!
- Ron: You think so?
- Vanessa: We know so. Right, guys?
- Kids: Yeah!
- Ron: I think it's time for a little parent timeout, so...
- Natalie: Timeout...
- Juana: Timeout...
- Ron: What is going on in here?
- James: Dad, they took our space!
- Vanessa: It is not yours!
- James: And they took our polliwog too!
- Natalie: Calm down! Binyah Binyah's everybody's friend.
- Binyah Binyah: Yeah.
- Natalie: But you guys aren't acting like friends to each other, are you?
- Ron: I think everybody here needs a timeout.
- James, Armando, Bryan and Greg: Oh, come on!
- Ron: Come on, girls. Let's step outside for a minute.
- Shaina: But what about them? They're the ones who hogged the living room!
- Vanessa, Jessica and Mia: Yeah!
- Ron: Don't worry about them. Come on.
- Natalie: Yes, I'll talk to them!
