Lois: You kids, let's get going. Malcolm, you don't want them to do-si-do without you.
Malcolm: [to camera] That's it. For the sake of my manhood, today I'm ditching school.
Hal: Hey, why don't I drive you boys to school today?
Malcolm: Uh, that's okay, Dad. I don't mind walking.
Hal: Oh, no, no, no. I really want to. A chance to spend a few extra minutes with my sons, enjoying their company... Honestly, son, it'll be the highlight of my day. Come on.
Malcolm: [to camera] Great. Now I can't even be mad at him.
