Lois: Honestly, Hal, I haven't felt this close to Malcolm since he was four years old. [sighs] Did I tell you he's taking me to a movie tomorrow? I can't believe it. I mean, you put it out there, but you don't know whether it'll ever come back to you. And then, when it does, it's wonderful. It's worth all the crap you have to put up with.
Hal: [wearing a beekeeper's helmet] Our boy is growing up, Lois. I'm very proud of both of you.
Lois: Thanks, honey. Can you turn off the smoke now?
Hal: In a minute.
