Quote from Hal in Hal's Christmas Gift
Hal: Okay, if we get Reese the walkie-talkies with only two channels, we can move $8.20 from his pile to Dewey's pile. Then Dewey can get the Spider-man figure that sticks to walls. Lois: We have enough stuff that sticks to walls. Dewey can live with the regular Spider-man. Just make sure that Malcolm's pile has enough in it... Hal, we don't have a pile for Jamie. Hal: Oh, damn it! You know, Jamie's not even old enough to know it's Christmas. We could- Lois: Hal. Hal: All right! But this is ridiculous. $93 to get gifts for four boys. Lois: Well, it's our own fault. We just weren't frugal enough. Hal: What else can we do? We're already doing no-electricity Wednesdays, lunch lotteries, "family flush".
