Quote from Francis in Funeral
Malcolm: [on the phone] Then she slid into the trash and ran off. I swear, this whole family is falling apart. Francis: Yes! I knew this moment would come. They don't have their scapegoat around so everything goes to hell. No one realized that I'm the one who held this family together. Without me to blame everything on, they don't know what to do with themselves. Malcolm: A scapegoat. Thanks. Francis: Mom thinks- [phone beeps] Malcolm: [to camera] He's right. This family needs a scapegoat. I started this, so I should be the one to end it.
