Konrad's mother: (on the phone) I’m sorry, Konrad can’t come to the telephone right now; he’s tied up.
(Camera pans out to reveal that Konrad is literally tied to the armchair.)
Konrad's mother: (to Konrad) And you’re going to stay tied up, young man, until you learn to stop picking your nose!

(Konrad's mother turns on the TV.)
TV Announcer: For the next five hours, we here at Educational Television are proud to present a performance by the Moroccan String Quartet.
Konrad's mother: (to a horrified Konrad) You won’t be able to change the channel, either.
