Hal Quote #830
Quote from Hal in College Recruiters
Malcolm: Dad, I'm sorry. I know we fought about this, but, the truth is I'm actually glad you kept those college guys off my back.
Hal: Well, son, it hasn't been easy. Today I've got two lunches, a coffee... Oh, and I'm going bowling with a guy from Yale.
Malcolm: Thanks to you, I was able to clear my head and make my decision.
Hal: No, you haven't. I have a lobster dinner next Tuesday.
Malcolm: I've decided to go to Harvard.
Hal: Harvard? I waited at that frozen yogurt shop for two hours, and he never showed!
Malcolm: I just wrote a letter of early acceptance. I'm mailing it today. They can accept me as early as tomorrow, and all this will stop.
Hal: Stop?
Malcolm: Thanks again, Dad. It's a big relief to me.
Hal: Harvard? You're destroying your life!

Quote from Lois
Dewey: I'm all packed up.
Hal: Good for you. Are you going somewhere?
Lois: He's going to Francis's. Let's go over the rules again. When you are on a bus, what are you to do?
Dewey: Talk to no one, don't let anyone sit next to me, try to look sickly and learning-impaired, cough every few minutes and nose-picking's okay.
Lois: Encouraged. And what if you are on the bus for a few hours and you have to go to the bathroom really, really bad?
Dewey: I still don't go.
Lois: That's my boy.
Quote from Lois
Lois: I swear I will kill my mother! She just slinks down here and marries off my son to some Eastern European bimbo. The old reptile. I can't believe her leg hasn't grown back.
Hal: Honey, calm down.
Lois: No, I am going to kill her. You know, if young person dies, it looks suspicious. When old people die, it's just the way of the world. There's no investigation.
Hal: Well, at least Reese is independent now.
Lois: Independent?! He's living in our garage! How independent is that? I read about this old woman who drowned in her bowl of soup. It happens.
Quote from Hal
Hal: Honey, look at the up side. Malcolm is going off to college, Francis is with Piama, now Reese is married. They've all flown the nest. We're done.
Lois: We still have Jamie and Dewey.
Hal: Oh, right.
