Dewey Quote #480
Dewey: Jamie, get out of here. I have to- [sees the necklace in Jamie's hands]
[flashback:]
Lois: Francis, I am not going to ask you again! You tell me where you hid my pearl necklace!
Francis: Somewhere you'll never find it! I have a hiding place so perfect, you could look for a hundred years and it won't matter! Your earrings, your necklace, your bracelet, all your meaningless material possessions you hold so dear, gone forever! Now I can go to military school knowing you're as miserable as I am, 'cause you'll never find it! Ever! [laughs]
[present:]
Dewey: The stash. Jamie, where did you?
Malcolm: [enters] The stash?! What about the stash?
Dewey: I didn't say anything about the stash. [hides necklace in Jamie's romper]
Reese: I think I heard you very clearly say "the stash." We don't talk about the stash unless we found the stash.
Dewey: I didn't find the stash!
Malcolm: Okay, but I suggest you remember our deal. If any of us does find it, we split Mom's reward three ways.
Reese: Because we're brothers and we love each other.

Quote from Lois
Lois: [to Malcolm] You really got to stop being such a snob. There's pride in doing anything well. I'd rather you were the best toilet scrubber in the world than a slapdash Supreme Court justice. And how about showing me a little bit gratitude? There's nothing embarrassing about working at Lucky Aide.
Quote from Hal
Hal: Oh, Dewey. I need your help. You're always skulking around, listening in on everyone's conversations. Do you have any dirt on your mom? I need something really big and awful. I did something bad, so I have to find something that she did bad, then I can confess what I did, and it won't seem like such a big deal.
Dewey: Sorry, Dad, but I don't just stash away information...
Hal: Stash? You found the stash? You and me partners. We cut everyone else out.
Dewey: No! No! I didn't find the stash!
Hal: Okay, okay. Are you sure she's not having an affair? Because that would be perfect.
Dewey: Sorry, Dad. I think she loves you.
Hal: Damn! If I can't do the "You did bad, I did bad" thing, then I gotta do the "I did bad, you'll get a big, expensive present" thing. Never get married, Dewey. If you want kids, get your eggs from the state.
Quote from Lois
Malcolm: Mom, what are you doing? I was in the middle of a game!
Lois: Do you want to explain why I found circled want ads sticking out of your backpack?!
Malcolm: Yes, I do.
Lois: I'm not interested! You are not finding another job!
Malcolm: Huh?
Lois: No! You are not getting a job away from my constant supervision, and that's it. I'm not going to risk your future by giving you even a second of freedom! This family has too much invested in you. Oh, cheer up. Once I find a proper wife for you, you'll have your precious space.
