Hal Quote #705
Quote from Hal in Motivational Speaker
Hal: Gerry, did you know that Michael Jordan didn't even see a basketball until he was 30 years old?
Gerry: No, no. I didn't know that.
Hal: Who tied your tie this morning, Gerry?
Gerry: I did.
Hal: Somebody just came in, pulled up your pants, shaved your face, combed back that lovely head of hair?
Gerry: No. I did it all myself.
Hal: You... did it all by yourself. You... were in charge this morning, Gerry. But somehow when you walked out that door, you let the world take over.

Quote from Reese
Lois: Good morning, Malcolm. There's money on the counter for your yearbook.
Malcolm: I don't want to buy a yearbook. I don't want anything that will remind me I ever went to that stupid school.
Reese: How can you say that? Being part of a group is important. Don't you care about loyalty? I think loyalty is the most important thing there is.
Lois: Well, I'm glad at least one of my sons knows something about that.
[Reese sees the mail man walking down the drive:]
Reese: [shouts through the window] Hey! What are you doing here?! This isn't your house! You don't live here! We live here! This is our house! What do you want?! Huh?! What?! What?! What?! What?! What?! What?! What?! What?!
Quote from Hal
Hal: A motivation seminar. For the whole weekend! Can you believe this? Like I need motivation.
Lois: And they just told you about it today?
Hal: They claim it was in some "memo" they sent me three months ago. So now, suddenly my job includes weekend seminars and memo-reading.
Lois: Can they really force you to go?
Hal: Lois, they can make you do anything. Once you sign up for a job in this country, you give away the whole kit and kaboodle. Our weekends, our house, our kids... we don't own any of it.
Lois: Okay, everybody, dinner.
Hal: This is all just an exercise to remind the little man who's boss. They're just trying to motivate me to keep me in my place, to kill any dreams I might have of ever digging my way out... Oh, my God, it starts at 9:00?
