Quote from Malcolm in Hal Quits
Malcolm: I really appreciate your letting me take this vocational exam. I know it's generally for older kids. I just felt like I really needed some help. I don't want to make a wrong decision. Well... did you get the test results? Mr. Young: Oh, yes. Malcolm: What did they say I should do? Mr. Young: Well... according to this... absolutely anything you want. Malcolm: What? Mr. Young: Yeah, you-you scored equally excellent in all areas. According to this test, there isn't a career on the planet you wouldn't be great at. Congratulations. Malcolm: Well, that... that doesn't exactly clarify anything. I-I was kind of hoping... Mr. Young: You know, kid, there are a lot of people who would kill to have both "professional golfer" and "neurosurgeon" on their test results. Malcolm: Yeah, but that doesn't help me. I mean, how am I supposed to decide if I don't have any parameters at all? Mr. Young: Well, boo-hoo for you, Mr. Unlimited Potential. Let me wipe my tears for you on my plastic briefcase. Malcolm: Does the test at least say what I might like? Mr. Young: Aside from exposing middle-aged underachievers for the failures they are? Nope. Malcolm: Can I take the test again? Mr. Young: Uh... no. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to catch a bus or I'll be late for my night job. Unless, of course, you'd like that, too.
