Malcolm: Oh, my God! Do you remember that summer seminar in Arizona that I applied for last year?
Lois: Yeah, you didn't get it.
Malcolm: I know, but somehow my name was entered as an alternate for a Study in Europe program. The guy who was supposed to go was bitten by a tick, and now basically lives in a hyperbaric chamber. So, I get to go in his place!
Lois: Slow down, Malcolm. We can't afford to help you with that.
Malcolm: That's just it! It's all paid for! I'm going to Paris, Prague, Munich, Vienna. I'm going to be staying in castles!
Lois: This is an incredible opportunity.
Malcolm: This is the luckiest thing that's ever happened to me! I have to do something to protect it.
Lois: What?
Malcolm: It's like I feel I should balance it out, somehow. You know, give something back, so I don't lose it.
Lois: Listen to you. Something wonderful happens and all you can think about is how the world's going to take it away. You're growing up.
