Malcolm: Mom, can't you just let him go? He didn't even really do anything wrong. He paid for everything he took. He helped out around the store. The guy's just living here. What's wrong with that?
Norm: I could just disappear, go to the Wal-Mart down the block. I've heard great things about them.
Lois: He broke the rules, Malcolm. The rules matter. Rules say we get paid time and a half for the graveyard shift. The rules say trespassers are dealt with by the police. You can't just pick and choose what rules you want to follow, or the whole system breaks down.
Malcolm: But-
Lois: Malcolm, I'm sorry. But as long as I'm working here, I can't bend the rules for anyone. [timer clicks] 7:30. Shifts over.
Malcolm: What are you doing?
Lois: I'm off the clock. I'm going home. Everybody else can do whatever they want. But they better do it quick. They don't have a lot of time.
[Norm runs out]
Malcolm: Thank you.
Lois: For what?
