Barbie: “STOP!
Do me and our 35 other children mean nothing to you?
The fact we’re getting evicted from our apartment that you haven’t even been paying for!”
Ken: “I GAVE YOU EVERYTHNING YOU EVER WANTED!”
Barbie: “YOU NEVER GAVE ME ANYTHING INEEDED!”
Barbie: “Kids!
Come on we are leaving your father in the dust.”

Let me stay with the kids!”
