Stevie: Can you please... start working?
Malcolm: Just one more second. This is really interesting. I just made my mom quit her job and go to Law School. It's less money but her happiness level went way up. I made Dad quit too. All he's doing is working on neighbors' cars. Check out his happiness level. [Hal dances on the screen] I still think they could be happier. Let's send Reese to China.
Stevie: What are you... changing... about Malcolm?
Malcolm: Nothing, he's fine.
Stevie: He's burning... himself... with a cigarette.
Malcolm: Just a phase.
