Quote from Hal in Flashback
Malcolm: Dad, Francis has to go back to school tomorrow. Can't we at least watch what he wants? Hal: This is educational. It's a celebration of the human spirit. It shows we can always find a way to persevere no matter how many times we're defeated. No, don't put on the rocket skates. Lois: Hal, can I see you in the bedroom? Hal: Yeah, yeah, just a second, honey, the coyote... Lois: Hal.
