Quote from Malcolm in Hal Grieves
Dewey: This is so awesome. Reese: Yeah. I don't know what alien worm burrowed into Dad's brain, but I'd like to shake its hand. Malcolm: Don't you guys see what's going on? This is all because of Grandpa. Ever since he died, Dad's been feeling bad because he doesn't miss him enough. So now he's trying to compensate by bonding with us. Reese: That's just a lot of fancy language for all-you-can-eat s'mores. Malcolm: This isn't fun and games, Reese. He's got a real emotional problem.
