Sam and Rebecca babysit Carla's brood to test whether they're ready to be parents. Meanwhile, Woody and Kelly borrow Cliff's video camera to record a message for his family back in Indiana.

Quote from Cliff

Cliff: All right now, everybody, fifty-seven seconds of charm, right? Now, The Message Home, scene one. Action.
Kelly: Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Boyd.
Cliff: Cut! [clears throat] Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, come here. What I'm looking for is the energy of take 36 and the innocence of take 11. Do you think you can do that for me?
Kelly: I'm awfully tired, Mr. Clavin.
Cliff: That a girl! Okay. Scene one, take 58. Action!
Kelly: Hi, Mr. and Mrs. Boyd.
Cliff: Cut! Kelly, uh, you, you mind explaining to me just what you think you're doing here?
Norm: Cliffy, lighten up, guy. You're just getting a little serious about this, aren't you?
Cliff: All right, who told the atmosphere to talk?! Go on, you're out of here! Pauly, your ship just came in. Come in here, buddy.
Woody: Hey, uh, Mr. Clavin, I don't think I want to make this tape.
Kelly: Me neither.
Cliff: All right, fine! Both of you, get out of here! Everybody get out! I can do the whole project myself!

Quote from Sam

Rebecca: Boy, I'll tell you one thing. Anybody who thinks parenthood is easy, should try giving baths to those monsters. I learned a lot.
Sam: Yeah, yeah, I learned I can hold my breath for over a minute. Although, I can't quite remember my telephone number.

Quote from Rebecca

Sam: You know something? Carla's kids aren't that bad.
Rebecca: Yeah, they're really not. They're sort of rambunctious and high-spirited, but, you know, all in all, I think they mean well. You know, I was pretty much a scamp when I was a kid, too.
Sam: Yeah, yeah. [chuckles]
Rebecca: I used to, uh, empty out the salt shakers and put in sugar. [laughs]
Sam: Boy, what a prank.
Rebecca: Well, Sam, we did it.
Sam: Yeah, hey, that's right. We passed your test, didn't we? We took care of Carla's kids. If we can do that, we can do anything. You know something? We're going to be just fine.
Rebecca: Mmm. [light switch clicks]
Male Voice: Be afraid. Be very afraid.
Sam: Uh-oh. Is that a prowler, or is that the kids?
Rebecca: [whimpers] Oh, I hope it's a prowler!
