You Can't Do That on Television Quote

Mrs. Prevert: You know, Jill, I think it was very nice and generous of the audience to give you all those tomatoes tonight, dear.
Jill: [hiding in the back seat] Mother, they didn't GIVE me the tomatoes, they THREW them at me! [sits up to reveal that she is covered with squashed tomatoes]
Mrs. Prevert: True.
Jill: They didn't like my solo. Mother, everyone thinks I'm a failure, don't you understand?!
Mr. Prevert: Jill, Jill, that is not true, not everybody threw somethin' at you. The Wildermeyers were there...
Mrs. Prevert: That's right.
Mr. Prevert: They never tossed nothin'.
[A car pulls up next to the Preverts'.]
Mrs. Prevert: Oh, look!
Mr. Prevert: They just pulled up to the stoplight! Hey Wildermeyer, over here! Yeah! How ya doin'? Yeah, we need a little confidence buildin'. My daughter Jill wants to know, what did ya think of her song?
[The Wildermeyers throw more tomatoes at Jill from off screen.]
