Malcolm: [on the phone] And there isn't any kind of construction or quarantines, and you're not planning on moving the hospital before I can get there? Fine. Go take care of your precious bus crash. [hangs up] [to camera] I want to make sure I cover all my bases. I got the directions, I got a gift, his favorite cookies. This time, there's nothing that can stop me from visiting Stevie. There are very few things in this world as valuable as friendship.
Hal: Damn.
Malcolm: What's wrong, Dad?
Hal: Nothing, I just put the battery in backwards.
Malcolm: [to camera] Oh, God. Why now? I can't leave him like this.
