Quote from Lois in Houseboat
Lois: Do you realize how close your father came to being a registered sex offender?! A registered sex offender! And for what? For some trampy girl? For- Malcolm: Mom, please! I feel terrible. I completely understand what I did. I sold out my own father for a girl. It's, like, the worst thing I've ever done. We both agree I'm a terrible person. Lois: For some girl you don't even know! Who wouldn't even give you the time of day! That's the gratitude you show your father?! Reese: Hey, maybe I'm the good one after all. Here, Mom. For your throat. I put a little honey in it. Lois: That man gets one vacation a year and this is how you start it! [phone rings] You go and make it right!
