Quotes
-
Ben Tennyson : I'm sorry. I love you guys. You're awesome parents. You raised me by example, and time after time I've seen you put people's needs first. I can't obey you now without disobeying everything you've ever taught me about life, the world, and responsibility.
Sandra Tennyson : Ben, we FORBID you to...
Ben Tennyson : So when I get back, punish me however you want, but right now I have a friend who's in trouble!
[activates the Omnitrix]

Sandra Tennyson : He's such a good boy.
Carl Tennyson : Ben Tennyson is NOT a "good boy." He's a GREAT boy! I don't know if it's bad karma to pat ourselves on the back, Sandra, but we've done a pretty good job as parents.
Sandra Tennyson : Well, we haven't stifled him. Allowing a child to explore the wholeness of his entire being...
[interrupted by a street explosion]
-
Carl Tennyson : [about Max] Your Uncle Frank and I KNEW he had some other life - we KNEW - and that he lied to us about it all the time! I won't have you lying, too!
Sandra Tennyson : It's our own fault. We were too permissive, and what did we get? A 15-year-old son needlessly risking his life!

Sandra Tennyson : Do you really think we're that gullible? We were teenagers once, too, you know.

Echo Echo : You can't ground me! I'm a super-powered alien!
Sandra Tennyson : You're a super-powered alien who's about five minutes from forcing me to reconsider a lifelong disbelief in corporal punishment.

Sandra Tennyson : Do we even have a paddle of some sort?
Carl Tennyson : I have my hemp belt.
-
Sandra Tennyson : Ben, are you hanging out with a... "bad crowd?"
Ben Tennyson : What? No!
Carl Tennyson : Are they telling you it's "cool" to sneak out, turn into aliens, lie to your parents?
Sandra Tennyson : I want to know who this bad influence is. Their parents need to know what's going on.

Sandra Tennyson : You would have found a way to win even if you're father hadn't shot the giant alien with the space bazooka.
