Quote from Hal in Malcolm's Job
Reese: Dad, Mom has this stupid idea about working... [Malcolm talks at the same time] Hal: Ah, ah, ah. That's enough. You boys heard your mother. We have always said you have to concentrate on your schoolwork before wasting your time on dead-end jobs. You have got your whole life to work and only one chance to learn. Lois: I told them to get jobs, Hal. Hal: The value of hard work. Money doesn't grow on trees. The sooner you two kids have jobs, the better.
