A teenage girl named Nicolette appears on the Dr. Phil show with her mother, who is concerned about Nicolette's entitled behavior. Nicolette is used to receiving $10,000 a month from her mother and expects to get a $200,000 Mercedes Benz G-Wagon as a gift for her 16th birthday.

Nicolette is resistant to the idea and becomes upset, claiming that she can't survive on a minimal allowance and that her mother should continue to provide for her.
