Howard: I will go to bed earlier tomorrow night. I promise! There's nothing good on TV tomorrow.
Dad: You're missing the point, Howard.
Howard: Yes, “Go to bed earlier.” I know the point. You're right. Tomorrow I'll go to bed at nine. OK.
Dad: Sorry, it doesn't work that way. Parents set the rules. Not the kids.
Howard: So I can never stay up past ten on a weeknight now?
Dad: For now, no, you can't.

霍华:我明天晚上会早点睡。我保证!明天电视没什么好看的。
爸爸:霍华,你没搞清楚重点。
霍华:我知道,‘早点睡觉。’我知道重点。你说得对。我明天会九点上床。可以了吧?
爸爸:抱歉,那不是我们家的规矩。订规则的是爸妈。不是孩子。
霍华:所以从现在起,星期一到星期五我再也不能超过十点才睡?
爸爸:目前为止不行,你不能超过十点睡。

Mom: Howard, it's almost ten. Time to hit the hay!

Howard: I think ten-thirty...but maybe eleven.
Mom: Howard! What did we talk about this morning?
Howard: I know, Mom, I know. But this show is so cool!
Mom: You need to start going to bed earlier now-not some other night.
