Overview
Tacey and Harry King are a suburban couple with three sons and a serious need of a babysitter. Tacey puts an ad in the paper for a live-in babysitter, and the ad is answered by Lynn Belvedere. But when she arrives, she turns out to be a man. And not just any man, but a most eccentric, outrageously forthright genius with seemingly a million careers and experiences behind him.

00:04:31 I phoned for a cab.
00:07:49 What you got? Ice cream.
00:10:46 Not me! Not while I'm conscious. Not those kids.
00:14:08 What's the bad news? Good news, sir.
00:17:43 [ Exhales ]
00:21:14 Quit that. Did you get it out?
00:24:28 But... but you can't be.

00:35:06 We won't.
00:37:59 You know, Mrs. King, it's really all your fault. Hmm?
00:42:56 Yes, Mrs. King, I've never been an idler nor a parasite.
00:46:17 Hey, do you realize what time it is? I'm not going.
00:49:53 Oh, I'll call her right away.
00:53:24 and bear in mind Mr. King has only been gone three days.

01:00:15 Yes, sir? Yes, sir.
01:05:12 Then what did you stay so long for?
01:09:01 Well, you've smashed up my home. I hope you're satisfied.
01:12:59 you will be quite helpless without me.
01:17:31 and I'm going to ask you a few questions, so just be perfectly relaxed...
01:20:44 Okay, Mr. Belvedere. We'll be very happy to defend you.
