Quote from Hal in Malcolm Defends Reese
Hal: We have a problem. Dewey: What? Hal: Some wavy-haired blond boy was chatting up Gina at the bike racks after school. Dewey: Don't you work, Dad? Hal: Never mind that. The point is, you should have been there. Dewey: It was probably Stephan. He's no threat. Hal: I saw him, Dewey. He's an Adonis! Okay, what you need here is some sort of romantic gesture. Dewey: What do you mean? Hal: Just off the top of my head, you could send her a nice box of expensive chocolates. Dewey: I'm not sure. Hal: Too late. You already did. You just dropped off a big box on her front doorstep, rang the bell and ran like hell. You also trampled some of her rose bushes. Congratulations, son. You're in the game.
