Daddy Day Care Page #2

Synopsis: In the comedy Daddy Day Care, two fathers lose their jobs in product development at a large food company and are forced to take their sons out of the exclusive Chapman Academy and become stay-at-home fathers. With no job possibilities on the horizon, the two dads open their own day care facility, "Daddy Day Care", and employ some fairly unconventional and sidesplitting methods of caring for children. As "Daddy Day Care" starts to catch on, it launches them into a highly comedic rivalry with Chapman Academy's tough-as-nails director... who has driven all previous competitors out of business.

What was the stinker you got saddled with?

It's not a stinker.

It's Veggie-Os, the cereal of the future.

Right, Veggie-blows.

I thought they were killing that.

Jerry!

The numbers on the Chocolatey Chocolate

Balls are through the roof!

What does he mean, "killing that"?

Why you listening to Bruce?

Nothing's being killed. He's a clown.

If something was going down, we'd know.

We're killing it.

Come on, Jim. We had one bad test.

It's a hard nut to crack.

Any fool can sell

Chocolatey Chocolate Balls...

and cotton candy-flavoured cereal to kids.

Cotton candy. That's not bad.

Guys, look. I'm sorry, but it was a dog.

Kids just don't want to eat vegetables

for breakfast. Who knew?

I told you that six months ago

when you put us on this project.

You did?

It's not just Veggie-Os.

We're shutting down

the whole health division.

That's like 300 people.

It's not a business we want to be in.

Where are we being reassigned?

Pooch, how was your first day at school?

Okay.

Just okay?

I don't know anybody there.

Give it some time. You'll make some friends.

How was your day, baby?

I lost my J-O-B.

You lost your J-O-B?

I got F-I-R-E-D.

Me and 300 other people.

They cannot do that!

- Can't Jim Fields do something?

- He's the one that pulled the trigger.

He's not gonna do anything.

When I found out it was him,

I told him to take a flying...

Charlie!

H-I-J-K-L-M-N-O-P.

Don't worry about this.

I'm in demand,

and I'll have a new job in a week.

What if we use the emergency fund?

We can't.

We already used it on the car payment.

There's no way around it.

We gotta pull Ben out of Chapman.

It's too much money.

What will we do for child-care?

- Are you gonna stay home with him?

- No, I'm not gonna stay home with him.

We just gotta find something

more affordable, that's all.

- This is the right address.

- You gotta be kidding me.

- We can at least check it out.

- Ben is not going here.

Looks can be deceiving. I'll go look.

Looks can be deceiving?

We're in a trailer park!

I'm looking for the preschool.

Yes, it is.

Welcome to the...

Sorry.

Welcome to the Touch of Eden Preschool.

- Can I help you?

- No, thank you.

- Is this the right address, here?

- I think so.

We keep the children right around here.

Go ahead. After you, ma'am.

Okay.

- Where'd you get this address?

- You picked this place.

We should report this to somebody.

That's what I'm talking about.

I knew there had to be

at least one decent place.

It looks all right.

This is the police.

We have you surrounded.

All right, Charlie. Give up the keys.

I don't know where the keys are.

Don't even try it.

- Why don't you drive the minivan?
