After a 1)shaky start, Miss Dudley gets her rule plan back on track.
Miss Dudley: Mom, what do you want on this list?
Mother: That we respect each other.
Miss Dudley: Can you give me an example of what you would class as respect from them?
Mother: We don't 2)talk down to each other, which tends…
Loretta: 3)Negativity.
Mother: …to happen. Yes, negativity. 
Miss Dudley: That's a good word.
Loretta: Treat others how you want to be treated.
Miss Dudley: OK.
Mother: Homework must be done every day.
Miss Dudley: At 7:45 have breakfast, then off to school.
For once the family have cooperated. But will they stick to the rules?
Mother: Loretta, will you please come in the house, NOW!
After supper, Loretta's already ignoring the new rules and 4)slacking on the dishwashing.
Usually, Mom would give in and do the washing up. But Miss Dudley's determined that she enforces the rules.
Miss Dudley: …had to get the other two in and in the5)lounge, and then I'd just go out, not shouting at her, and just say “you need to put the bat and ball down and if you're not gonna come inside and do the washing up, then you're gonna go up to your room and you're not gonna watch TV all night,” so you need to let her think about what the 6)consequences of that are.
Mom's first tough line works, but Miss Dudley wonders if she can keep it up.
尽管开始不太顺利，达德利老师最终还是让她之前那个制定规矩的计划重回正轨。
达德利老师：妈妈，你想在这张单子上写上什么呢？
妈妈：写上我们要相互尊重。
达德利老师：你能举个例子说明怎样界定相互尊重吗？
妈妈：我们说话不能贬损对方，那种情况会……
洛蕾塔：负面话。
妈妈：……发生。对，负面话。
达德利老师：不错的词。
洛蕾塔：己所不欲，勿施于人。
达德利老师：对。
妈妈：必须每天都完成功课。
达德利老师：早上7点45分吃早餐，然后上学。
这家人首次这么互相配合。但他们会遵守规定吗？
妈妈：洛蕾塔，请你立刻到屋子里来！
晚饭后，洛蕾塔就已经无视新规定了：她不去洗碗。
一般情况下，妈妈会就这么放弃了，自己把碗给洗了。但达德利老师坚决要她推行新规定。
达德利老师：……得把其他两个孩子叫进客厅里来，然后走到外面去，不要对她吼，只需要跟她说，“把球拍和球放下，要是不到屋里把碗洗了，那你就得回到自己的房间去，整晚都没电视看”，你得让她明白不遵守规定的后果。
妈妈初次的严厉话语起了作用，但达德利老师不知道她能否这么坚持下去。
It's seven AM on Thursday morning.
Miss Dudley: Oh this is brilliant! Five past seven and you're up and dressed.
Mother: And she was in the shower before I got out of bed.
Miss Dudley: Last night it was extremely difficult to get through to Loretta and spent a long time talking to her. It is great that she's up and she's in a good mood and she's really efficient this morning. She's done her own ironing and she's dressed and she's drying her hair.
现在是周四早上7点钟。
达德利老师：噢，真了不起！才7点过5分，你就起床穿好衣服了。
妈妈：我还没起床她就已经在洗澡了。
达德利老师：昨晚给洛蕾塔做了很多思想工作，跟她谈了很长时间，过程实在是太艰难了。现在她已经起床了，并且心情很好，今早非常有效率，这太棒了。她已经把自己的衣物熨好了，并且穿好了衣服，正在吹头发。
