Nobody puts Baby in a corner! 

What Ethan Couch's grossly-overly-indulgent/forgiving/accommodating father snortingly snarled to school officials prior to his absurdly-outrageous offer to buy da entire school just so dat his "little Prince" (i.e., "baby") would be treated (read, "coddled"!) da way he preferred, rather than his being compelled to behave in a rational/responsible/respectful manner towards his fellow students and teachers, or subjected to da standard disciplinary-procedures if he declined to proffer said reasonable demeanor.
If Ethan Couch's father had not whooped his asinine "Nobody puts Baby in a corner!" battle-cry during his surly son's formative years while he was in school, maybe both Ethan and his also-shockingly-pandering mom would not have subsequently had to "stand in da corner big time" (i.e., go to prison after committing infinitely-more-serious crimes) sometime down da road!
