TEXT: At Emma's house Spike: You guys are on your own for breakfast. Emma: And lunch and supper and every meal after that. Spike: We count on you Em. I count on you. Emma: And what a super job I'm doing. Spike: You are. Look I gotta go or I'll be late getting Jack to daycare. Emma: Snake called again. Spike: How nice for him. (Spike leaves and Manny walks upstairs.) Manny: I am so fat! Emma: Don't even talk about fat. I'm the fat one in this house. All this fast food, no wonder I've gained all this weight. Manny: Tell me about it. I have a meeting with Bernice Fein on Friday and I can't even fit into my lucky jeans! Emma: 'Dump the lumps' Bernice Fein, as in the agent from hell? Manny: If she's Satan, then that explains why she's best agent in town. She called because she saw me in the Kevin Smith movie. Wants to audition me again. Crisis down here! (Manny's on the floor trying to get her jeans on.) Emma: Look around you. Crisis is actually an epidemic. Manny: My thighs are an epidemic and they're taking over the world. Emma: We are going to take control. I am going to take control. In Mr. Armstrong's class Emma: Manny! (She shows Manny a chart she made.) Manny: Pie charts? We've done pie charts every year since grade 4. Emma: It's a chore wheel. Manny: Okay does it have laundry on it because I'm out of underwear and this commando chafing is killing me! Mr. Armstrong: Not up to your usual standard. (Emma looks at the test and it has a big C on it.) Emma: Okay Manny you are on laundry. I'm on homework and exercise and grocery shopping and cleaning and mom management. Manny: That should burn a few calories. Emma: I sincerely hope so. Manny: You're a stick and you're insane. At Emma's house Emma: Mom I'm home! Manny: She's working late
