Ms. Gilbert: Come on, Malcolm. Tell her about the pressure.
Malcolm: Well... I feel you put a lot of pressure on me, and I can't live up to your expectations.
Lois: What pressure?
Malcolm: Maybe not. I don't know.
Lois: No, no, no. Go back. What were you saying?
Malcolm: Well, you put a lot of pressure on me, and stuff.
Lois: What do you mean? When do I pressure you?
Malcolm: All the time! If it's not the extra-credit reports, it's all the advanced classes you sign me up for, and after that, I have to help Reese and Dewey with their homework.
Lois: That's not pressure.
Malcolm: You know, I didn't ask to be born smart.
Lois: We just want you to live up to your potential.
Malcolm: That. That's exactly what I'm talking about.
