Dewey Quote #452
Quote from Dewey in Dewey's Opera
Mr. Flerch: The animals in the farm include, but are not limited to, the cow, the horse, the pig, the chicken, the sheep.
Hansen: Dewey, the algebra homework you gave us, did you want us to show our work?
Dewey: Huh? I dunno. Just a sec.
Mr. Flerch: ...the alpaca...
Chad: You okay? You want to wrap your hands in tinfoil?
Dewey: I have nothing! I want to write an opera. I know I can do it. I have all the music. I can hear it in my head. I just don't have a story to hang it on. It has to be something so dramatic it's like a knife in the heart.
Mr. Flerch: ...the peccary, the hog bear...
Dewey: That's the trouble with being a kid. I want a dog. I don't have a dog. But ultimately, so what?
Mr. Flerch: The sounds produced by said animals are, respectively: moo, neigh, oink, cluck, gobble, silent.

Quote from Hal
Hal: Honey, honey, relax. Honey, we're married. It doesn't matter how embarrassing something is. Because no one knows it... but me.
[fantasy:]
Hal: [sings] Lois... Don't be embarrassed. I know Everything about you. I know when you, think you're alone. You have to check, if your ears have grown. Every day, before you go to work. You know how I panic, When I see a monkey. I've seen you take pizza, From the garbage and eat it! I know all of you, You know all of me. But it's only us, my love! No one else knows. No one else. No one else. No one... Else.
[reality:]
Lois: I'll return the bed.
Hal: Honey, you've fallen asleep for a week in that bed. They're not gonna take it back.
Quote from Hal
Lois: There's a reason I bought a bed that was bigger. I did want some distance from you, but it's not because I don't love you and I don't want to be close to you.
Hal: I don't understand.
Lois: There are certain things that have to happen with my body at the end of the day. Certain events that have to... transpire. And if they don't transpire, I end up with stomach cramps, and I don't want it to happen two inches away from your nose.
Hal: That's your secret?
Lois: I know it's stupid and embarrassing and I want to be sexy for you, but after 20 years, I just have to have a break from clamping down and gritting my teeth all night.
Hal: Oh, honey, I don't care about that. And it's not a secret. The second you fall asleep you let loose like a sailor.
Lois: What?
Hal: Oh, yeah, it's like when they put the balloons away after the Thanksgiving parade.
Lois: Oh, my God. I can't hear anything. You're tunneling out.
Quote from Hal
Dewey: I'm here to snitch. Reese and Malcolm are in the garage. They won't let me in, but they're building something. If you want help in the penalty phase, let me know.
Hal: Dewey, I am not going to go in there and have a big fight with the boys because you've got nothing to do. We have a rule in this family about what we do when we're bored. [hands Dewey the TV remote]
