Cheaper by the Dozen is a 1950Technicolor film based upon the autobiographical book Cheaper by the Dozen (1948) by Frank Bunker Gilbreth Jr. And Ernestine Gilbreth Carey. The film and book describe growing up in a family with twelve children, in Montclair, New Jersey. May 30, 2011 Cheaper by the Dozen is a sweet memoir that serves as a loving tribute to the author's parents and eleven siblings. The home life feels very old-fashioned for this modern reader, but I enjoyed the unique and quirky stories.

No! No, no! No, no, no!
Tom Baker[edit]
- You soaked his underwear in meat. That is so wrong. Funny, but wrong.
- All right, enough is enough! You're slacking on your chores, you're fighting at school, things are out of control! As of this moment, you are all grounded!
- What's grounded?! I'll tell you what grounded is, except for attending games, you go to school, you come home from school, you do your chores, you do your homework, you go to bed, and that's it!!
- Get my kids and meet me at my house. Ready? Break!
- (On the phone trying to get a babysitter) How many? Well, when you get over here we can just count 'em up! (Next call) How many kids do I have? Twelve. But one doesn't live with me, and one you never see 'cause he's so mad! (Next call) Just.. just.. just twelve. (Next call) Hello! I'll just hang up on myself.
- If I screw up raising my kids, nothing I achieve will matter much.
- You have a dark gift, Sarah Baker.
Kate Baker[edit]
- I guess you could say that when Tom and I left Midland we had a mess of theories about how to raise children. We still have a mess of children, but no theories. Sure, 12 is still our number. It's the number of months my book was on the bestseller list. It's the number of job offers Tom turned down before we found one close to home. And each day it's the number of times I'm thankful there's such a thing as family.
Dialogue[edit]
- Tom: You were checking me out, weren't you?
- Kate: Yes, I was. You got a problem with that?
- Tom: Twelve kids later and we still got the heat!
- Kate: Whoo!
- Kate: Sarah, your suspension from lacrosse for excessive force has been lifted, so you're going today.
- Sarah: Yes!
- Kate: Henry, you have band practice, all right? I cleaned your clarinet. Please don't play with your food in your mouth again. Kim and Jessica, your teacher called and has made a request that you do not correct her in front of the class. Mike, you have show-and-tell today. And please, honey, remember that body parts do not count. Kyle and Nigel, you have a dentist appointment at 3:00, so you're going to work with Dad.
- Nigel and Kyle: Yeah! (yell)
- Tom:(yells)
- Tina Shenk: Is Jake your only child?
- Kate: Oh, no. We have 12.
- Tom: I couldn't keep her off me.
- Charlie: Did I mention I don't like you very much?
- Tom: Yeah, you mentioned that.
- Charlie: Then I'm good.
- Hank: It's getting so as I can hardly go out in public any more. I mean, really, between the autograph hounds and the paparazzi..
- Kate: Autographs and everything? I mean, just the one commercial, and you have paparazzi?
- Hank: Yeah. I've never actually seen them, but, you know, they hide in the bush and they get their shot.
- Mark: Have you seen my frog, Dad?
- Tom: Sorry, Charlie.. er, Nigel.. Kyle.
- Mark: It's Mark.

- Kate: No.
- Nora: Oh, honey, they were just welcoming you into the family.
- Hank: They just set me on fire.
- Nora: Just your pants.
- Hank: Sure, last time, it was my pants, but what if next time it's my face? This is how I get the jobs!
- Tom: (On the phone) Hello, my name is Tom Baker and I'm interested in hiring a domestic helper..I have twelve children. (Pause) Actually I am serious. (Later calling another housekeeper) Just twelve..(Different call) Twelve..(Calling another babysitter) There is only two..uh..plus ten. (Another call) Well, there's twelve but one doesn't live with me and another you will never see because he is so mad! (Another call) How many kids? Well how about when you get here let's count them up? (Later) UHH..A dozen?! (He scratches off about 25 babysitting businesses and hangs his phone up about 10 times; later on a call) Just..just twelve. (Another call) Hello? I'll just hang up on myself..(He angrily hangs up his phone and bows his head in frustration)
