Malcolm: [sobbing] I'm sorry.
Lois: [sobbing] Oh, no, don't be. I'm the one who should apologize.
Malcolm: No, you guys just want what's best for me. I know that.
Lois: Oh, we do. We love you.
Malcolm: I love you, too.
[Reese crawls away from the wall, pretends to sob and hugs Lois as she hugs Malcolm]
Reese: Mom? You really pissed me off when you took away my hockey stick 'cause I was hitting Dewey with it. I know you're sorry. I'll go in the attic and take it down later.
