[Dash]
Mom, you're making weird faces again.
[Mrs. Incredible]
No, I'm not.
[Mr. Incredible]
You can make weird faces, honey.
[Mrs. Incredible]
Do you have to read at the table?
[Mr. Incredible]
Uh-huh. Yeah.
[Mrs. Incredible]
Smaller bites, Dash. Yikes. Bob, could you help the carnivore cut his meat?
[Dash]
Ow.
[Mrs. Incredible]
Dash, you have something you want to tell your father about school?
[Dash]
Uh um Well, we dissected a frog.
[Mrs. Incredible]
Dash got sent to the office again.
[Mr. Incredible]
Good. Good.
[Mrs. Incredible]
No, Bob. That's bad.
[Mr. Incredible]
What?
[Mrs. Incredible]
Dash got sent to the office again.
[Mr. Incredible]
What? What for?
[Dash]
Nothing.
[Mrs. Incredible]
He put a tack on the teacher's chair. During glass.
[Dash]
Nobody saw me. You could barely see it on the tape.
[Mr. Incredible]
They caught you on tape and you still got away with it? Whoa. You must have been booking. How fast do you think you were going?
[Mrs. Incredible]
Bob, we are not encouraging this.
[Mr. Incredible]
I'm not encouraging. I'm just asking how fast you he was...
[Mrs. Incredible]
Honey!
[Mr. Incredible]
Great. First a car, now I gotta pay to fix the table.
[Mrs. Incredible]
The car? What happened to the car?
[Mr. Incredible]
Here, I'm getting a new plate.
[Mrs. Incredible]
So how about you, Vi? How was school?
[Violet]
Nothing to report.
[Mrs. Incredible]
You've hardly touched your food.
[Violet]
I'm not hungry for meat loaf.
[Mrs. Incredible]
Well, it is left overnight. We have steak, pasta. What are you hungry for?
[Dash]
Tony Ridinger.
[Violet]
Shut up.
[Dash]
Well you are.
[Violet]
I said shut up you little insect.
[Dash]
Well, she is!
[Mrs. Incredible]
Do not shout at the table. Honey.
[Mr. Incredible]
Kids, listen to your mother.
[Dash]
She'd eat if we were having Tony Loaf.
[Violet]
That's it!
[Dash]
Stop it! You gotta be tough!
[Mrs. Incredible]
Stop running in the house!
[Dash]
Hey, no force fields!
[Mrs. Incredible]
Hey, Dash!
[Violet]
You started it.
[Mrs. Incredible]
You sit down! You sit down! Violet!
[Dash]
Ow!
[Violet]
Ow!
