Quote from Jessica in Jessica Stays Over
Malcolm: You got the car? How'd you get the car? Jessica: I just had a little shopping to do, and your mom insisted I take the car. Malcolm: What do you mean she insisted? I've been begging her for weeks. Every time I ask, she says no. Jessica: That's where you made your mistake. I just got all vulnerable and poured on stuff about my dad. It was easy. Malcolm: No way. Jessica: Look, Malcolm, it's not something I'm proud of, believe me. It's how I've learned to survive in my twisted family. They're like a total cesspool of manipulation and emotional blackmail. Everyone screwing everyone over. I don't even know a true, honest way to connect with people anymore. It's sick. I'm sick! [sobs] Malcolm: Jessica, wait. [picks up shopping bags] I'm sorry. Jessica: Ah, thanks for carrying my bags for me, Malcolm. Told you it was easy.
