Quote from Francis in Malcolm's Girlfriend
Francis: You don't understand. All I did was take a doughnut out of a dumpster. How is that stealing? I had to fight a cat to get it! Sheriff Chad: Well, the restaurant owner wants to press charges. There's nothing I can do. Look, I know the guy. He's a bit of a hothead, but I promise you he'll lose interest in four or five days. [jail cell slams shut] Francis: Four or five days? I have to start a logging job up in and I'm late as it is! Sheriff Chad: It won't be bad. Three meals a day courtesy of my wife. You look like you could use some home cooking. Vanessa: What would you like for dinner, chicken or a nice porterhouse steak? Francis: Porterhouse, I guess. Sheriff Chad: Oh, you're gonna love her cooking! Vanessa: Well, thank you! [As Vanessa hugs her husband, Sheriff Chad, she makes a kissing gesture at his colleague, Deputy Brock]
