Jessica: But how did you...?
Lois: Sweetie, I'm a mother. It's my business to know. You've got talent, but I turned pro 20 years ago. Which isn't to say you haven't been useful. I never would've been able to enjoy that play in peace if the boys weren't occupied. And the gay thing was very entertaining. But more important, those two idiots actually treated each other decently for a few days. Thank you for that. So, here's the deal. As of today, you are banned from this house. You violated my trust. I don't want you around my boys. Knowing that, they will automatically forgive you and sneak you back in. You will be here every day after school until 6:00, except Thursdays when I'm working until 9:30. You will have complete run of the house, but I want Reese to do his half hour of assigned reading and Malcolm to complete all his college applications, not just the Ivy Leagues. And no junk food. Understood?
Jessica: For how long?
Lois: We'll see. Ice Capades are coming in a few months. Sure would be nice to go as a family.
