Hal Quote #625
Quote from Hal in Hal Sleepwalks
Hal: [on the phone] That's right, I'm looking to replace the music box with the ballerina on top. I wouldn't say broken so much as vaporized, my toddler got a hold of it. [takes hammer off Jamie] Oh-oh-oh, give me that! So, anyway, I would really appreciate it if you could help me. [oven timer dings] [bwawks like a chicken] A list of local distributors who might have one- What are you talking about, why on earth would I do that?! Listen, the truth is I'm pretty desperate here, so if you could just give me some information... [Hal does the moonwalk as the washing machine timer whirs] that can help me track down another ballerina music box, you can actually turn this into a very special anniversary celebration.
Lois: [enters] Sorry, I am late.
Hal: Oh, please! Like the orphans would really see any of the money I would give you. Do you have an orphan there with you? Could I speak to one, please? I didn't think so. Do you know what? You people make me sick! [hangs up] Damn telemarketers!
Lois: Hal, you know what I realized on the way home? Our 20th anniversary is in three days.
Hal: Oh, just three days, huh? Boy, talk about time flying. It'll be here before you know it.
[As Reese clinks a glass, Hal squirts ketchup and mustard in his own face]

Quote from Lois
Malcolm: What are you talking about? I can play music if I want to.
Lois: I'm sorry, honey, you can't. Your brain doesn't work that way. You don't have that kind of creative spark.
Malcolm: What?
Lois: See, Dewey is a flyer. He'll just drift and float through life, and things will turn out for him. Now, you and I, we're burrowers. We're at our best when our heads are down, and we're grinding through a mountain of drudgery.
Malcolm: You don't know that.
Lois: Yes, I do.
Malcolm: You actually think you know what I'd be good at before I even try it?!
Lois: That's right.
Malcolm: Oh, really? Then tell me, how would I be at scuba diving, or mountain climbing, or Flamenco dancing.
Lois: Bad at scuba diving, good at mountain climbing. Flamenco dancing, a disaster. I'm not trying to hurt your feelings, I'm just telling you what I know.
Malcolm: It's a good thing you weren't John Lennon's mother!
Lois: If I were John Lennon's mother, he'd still be alive.
Quote from Reese
Reese: Dad, you have to understand. The reason I missed so many days of school, was that the calendar on my watch stopped. I thought it was Saturday all week.
Quote from Malcolm
Malcolm: I have something I want you guys to hear. I've been practicing. Really practicing a lot. And I had an idea for a song. I don't know if it's any good or not, but it really means something to me. Do you mind if I play it for you?
Lois: Of course not, Malcolm. We'd love to hear it.
Malcolm: [plays guitar and sings] No one knows Just what I've been through I can't stop The pain inside me Now I'm staring Out my window Children play They seem so happy. Why are we here Going nowhere? Why does my life feel so empty?
Dewey: [sings] Meow, meow, meow, meow...
Malcolm: What are you doing?
Dewey: That's the Meow Mix song. [sings] No-one knows just what I've been through, meow, meow, meow
Hal: [sings] Now I'm staring out the window
Both: Meow, meow, meow, meow.
Lois: I want chicken I want liver
All: [sing] Meow Mix, Meow Mix, please deliver. Now you know that cat meow means Meow Mix, Meow Mix
Malcolm: Okay, okay, stop it! God, I've just spent two days of my life rewriting the Meow Mix song. I poured my heart into this. I actually got tears in my eyes writing it. How pathetic is that? I clearly have even less talent than you gave me credit for. [exits]
Hal: Should we tell him the kid recovered from the tick bite, and the trip to Europe's off?
Lois: No. Let him return the guitar first.
