Lois: Boys, I wanted to talk to you. I've got some good news. I've been thinking. You're both growing up. You're showing a lot more maturity these days. I think you've earned the right to a little bit more independence.
Reese: We're getting a car!
Lois: You're both getting jobs.
Malcolm & Reese: What?
Lois: Malcolm, I talked to the manager of the Lucky Aide this morning. You start there tomorrow.
Malcolm: You want me to work at your store? With you?
Lois: Yes. Reese, since you've been mentioned six times by name in the security handbook, you have to look for a job somewhere else, but I want you in a paper hat by the end of the week.
