Meet the Millers (TV Series)

Making the Grade Better (2000)

David Zuckerman: Mr. Lewis

Quotes 

• Betty Miller : Mr. Lewis? I'm Benji's mother. An apple pie for the teacher.

  Mr. Lewis : Mrs. Miller, if you're here about his grades...

  Betty Miller : We've tried everything to help him. Spanking, sending him to bed without dinner, locking him in the closet, nothing seems to work.

  Mr. Lewis : Well, perhaps repeating the third grade would be the best thing for him.

  Betty Miller : Oh, no. That would be awful. You know how cruel children can be. They'll tease him and call him a retard.

  Mr. Lewis : Mrs. Miller, I'm not so sure Benji isn't a retard.

  [beat] 

  Mr. Lewis : Look, all he had to do is work a little harder but he didn't. I'm afraid my mind is made up.

  Betty Miller : But...

  Mr. Lewis : Good day, Mrs. Miller.

  Betty Miller : You know what? You're the retard!
