Malcolm: I'm Malcolm, Dewey's brother. I have to talk to you about the test Dewey took.
Mrs. Welsh: I'm afraid I can only discuss that with his parents.
Malcolm: See, that's just it. I can get in a lot of trouble for coming here, but I have to tell you why his test came out the way it did. [sighs] Our mom has a substance abuse problem, and she had a huge relapse the morning he took the test.
Mrs. Welsh: Oh, my God.
Malcolm: Yeah, which is why she can't find out I came here. I don't want to say she's dangerous because she's, you know, my mom, and I love her.
Mrs. Welsh: Wow. Well, I can tell you really care about your family.
Malcolm: It's been really hard.
Mrs. Welsh: Let's see what I can do. Okay? And I don't think we have to bother your mom with this.
Malcolm: Thanks.
Mrs. Welsh: I'll do everything through your dad. Thanks for the heads up.
