Hal: Boys! What are you doing? Today's a happy day. You're supposed to remember this the rest of your lives.
Malcolm: I need to talk to you, Dad.
Reese: Dad, if you love us, don't listen to him.
Malcolm: Look at what you're doing. Look at the money you're spending. Look at the reason why you're spending it. Something is very wrong.
Hal: I hear you, Malcolm. I understand that things have gotten a little unbalanced and... and I know what I need to do.
Malcolm: Thank God.
Hal: I'm going to buy you a car.
Malcolm: [to camera] It's moments like this that really define character. [to Hal] I love you, Daddy!
