Quote from Hal in Bowling
Dewey: Why can't I go bowling, too? Lois: Because you are spending the night in your room. You are being punished. And tomorrow you are going to the store and buying Mrs. McNabb a new parakeet! Dewey: Aw, Dad? Hal: Don't look at me. As far as you boys are concerned, your mom and I are a united front. Malcolm: We're ready. Who's going to drive us? [split-screen:] Lois: I'll do it. Hal: I'll do it. Lois: [to Dewey] You, to your room. March! Hal: [to Dewey] Come on, son. Race you to your room.
