Hal: You haven't made a sound in half an hour. What's going on in here?
Malcolm: Nothing.
Hal: I expect perfect behavior out of you boys tonight. Trust me, if you try anything - anything at all! - I will be on you like a rainbow on an oil slick! [exits] [inner monologue] Okay, this is good. You sent them a message. Fired the shot across their bow. Now they know who's in charge! [out loud to himself] Maybe I was too harsh. If the boys push back they might do something ten times worse and spoil everything for Lois! [inner monologue] Don't go soft! All these boys understand is the iron fist! [out loud] No, I need to get them on my side!
