Lois: I know how much you boys have sacrificed, kicking in your paychecks and working extra shifts, and, well, we thought you guys deserved a reward.
Reese: Really?
Malcolm: [to camera] This is great. I thought she was going to start charging us for water.
Lois: So, your dad and I are taking the whole family, and Jessica, to see a musical!
Reese: A what?
Lois: A musical. From Broadway. It's called Mamma Mia. They take all those old ABBA songs like "Dancing Queen", and "Fernando", and stick some story in between.
Malcolm: Oh, my God, you're serious.
Lois: Six partially obstructed seats. At first I thought of treating you boys to a rock concert or Motocross or something like that, but then Jessica told me about this and I thought this sounded perfect.
Jessica: Wow! I mean, I just mentioned it 'cause it was interesting. I didn't think you were gonna take me. What a nice surprise.
