Mom: Watch your mouth. And don't point any fingers－the cold breakfast is your own fault. Now hurry!
　　Howard: [Mumbling] I'm not hungry anymore.
　　Mom: What time did you go to sleep, young man? Are you staying up past your bedtime again?
　　Howard: It doesn't matter.
　　Mom: That's it! I've had it! Your grumpiness makes everyone suffer. Mark my words: things are gonna change around here!

　　媽媽：你講話注意一點。而且別想怪罪別人—— 早餐冷掉要怪你自己。你動作快一點！
　　霍華：（嘟噥）我不餓了。
　　媽媽：小夥子，你幾點上牀睡覺？你又過了就寢時間才睡嗎？
