Quote from Mary in The Loud Solomon Family: A Dickumentary
Mary: Okay, everybody, I think we're about ready to start. Now, remember, we are not here.
Sally: Uh... well, where- Where are you?
Mary: Well, we are here but we're not. So just be yourselves. That's what we need. Just pretend these cameras are not here. Just act perfectly naturally.
Tommy: Okay. But it's not natural to act like there aren't cameras here when there are cameras here.
Harry: That's true.
Dick: Uh- I've got an idea. Why don't we notice the cameras and then act surprised?
Mary: No, no, no, no! That's not going to work. Okay. Start. [silence] What's wrong?
Sally: Aren't you going to say "action"?
Mary: Sally, this is a documentary. You don't have to say "action." [silence] Action!

Mary: Not ideal so much as typical.
Quote from Mrs. Dubcek
[on Mary's film:]
Mrs. Dubcek: The Solomons are lovely people. Very nice. They're clean. They never complain, and, as for the noise, well, I think they've gotten used to it.
Mary: [v.o.] How do you think they function without a traditional mother figure?
Mrs. Dubcek: You said you were going to let me tap dance. When do I get to tap dance?
