Malcolm: Oh, my God! You guys we can save Francis.
Reese: What?
Malcolm: Think about it. Every time she gets mad she forgets about everything else in the world except for things she's mad at. That focus is the key to her power.
Reese: So?
Malcolm: So Mom won't care so much about sending Francis to a work farm if she's busy being mad at someone else, like at us.
Reese: We can do that.
Dewey: Yeah.
Malcolm: You don't understand. We're going to have to get in real trouble. More trouble than we've ever been in in our entire lives. And we can't make it look like we're doing it on purpose. I just want you to know what you guys are in for.
Reese: We owe it to him.
