The Wilsons would like to hire a young lady to take care of their children. Mrs. Pembroke suggests that she spend some time with Charles to see if she's up to it. Much to Charles' embarrassment, Jane (Meg Ryan) turns out to be a very pretty girl who has heard many great things about him.
The kids do not usually manage to get into big fights. But because Jane believes that they should settle their differences their own way, things get completely out of hand. This time their fight escalates into clothes swiping, chemical warfare and mental torture. All this action is being taped by Lila who has a very important school assignment. When Mr. and Mrs. Pembroke return from their trip, they find Jane in the kitchen, thinking. She realizes that children are capable of much more than she ever dreamed possible and that a "normal job" would probably be a better idea.

Charles: (he finds Douglas working with a skateboard) Doug, do you need help tightening those wheels?
Douglas: I'm not tightening them, I'm loosening them.
Charles: That's very dangerous!
Douglas: I hope so. This is Jason's skateboard. He used my baseball-glove to clean his fish-tank! He's gotta be taught a lesson!
Charles: (confiscates the skateboard) That's not a crime punishable by death. (edit) Stan: How's the training going?
Megan: I'm learning, I'm learning that children are capable of much more than I ever thought children were capable of.
Jill: You see? That's Charles, I told you nobody handles children the way he does. (edit) Douglas: Switzerland, huh? What was he doing in your room buying cuckoo clocks? (edit) Charles: I've been here three months and I've never seen this kind of behavior before.
Douglas and Jason: The honeymoon's over, Chuck! (edit) Douglas: He took a shower and used my lucky towel.
Charles: What is lucky about a towel?
Douglas: It always gets me dry. (edit)
