So the question here is; what are we going to do with our little problem child? I'll tell you what we are going to do. Something that no parent has ever done for him before. We're gonna love him, Flo.

Flo Healy: [looks up at him]

Little Ben Healy: Oh yes, We'll love him when he's bad, we'll love him even more when he gets worse, then one day he's gonna crack and say, "Hey, these people really do love me! They ain't gonna quit on me! I don't have to be bad anymore. What the hey, I can be President of the United States!"

Flo Healy: President of the United States? Are you brain damaged? Junior is gonna be a convict before he's in third grade!
