In Germany this episode is known as, "Sleep, Children, Sleep", translated. (edit)

Simon: You know, it's natural for babies to cry a lot. I mean, poop, pee, sleep, and cry pretty much covers their day.
Annie: Yeah, I've heard that. (edit) Simon: What was that?
Mary: Tuna helper.
Simon: So you were supposed to put tuna in it.
Lucy: He's right. It was just the helper.
Mary: (pauses) We were supposed to add the tuna? (edit) Annie: (listening to Ruthie sing a depressing song) Ruthie, you are not a motherless child. Your mother is right here, listening to your beautiful song. But I'm a little busy now, and I could really use your help. You're a big sister now. That means you're more important than ever.
Ruthie: All right, all right. What do you want me to do?
Annie: Would you like to hold Sam while I feed David?
Ruthie: I don't want to see you feed either one of them again, until they're eating with knives and forks. (edit) Eric: Simon, do not, under any circumstances, let Ruthie out of your sight. She's planning to run away.
Simon: You do see that she's just crying out for attention, don't you?
Eric: Yes, and your mother and I are doing everything we can to give her the attention that she needs, but our hands are kind of full right now, so we were hoping you could give her some of yours. Scratch that, a lot of yours. All of yours.
Simon: Well, hey, I'm a team player.
Eric: I'm delighted to hear it. (edit) Simon: Hey, Dad, if I pay for it, is it okay if I order a pizza or something?
Eric: Or something like what?
Simon: I don't know what my taste buds are in the mood for yet.
Eric: If you and your buds are thinking of giving the Dairy Shack a jingle, forget it. I don't want Matt to think we're checking in on him.
Simon: But what if the pizza place isn't delivering?
Eric: What are the odds of that?
Simon: These are strange times. It could happen.
Eric: (pauses) No, it couldn't.
Simon: But what if, Dad? What if?
Eric: Do what you think is right. (leaves)
Simon: (smiles) That was easy. (edit)
