Francis Quote #452
Quote from Francis in College Recruiters
Francis: Well, if you were worried about today's activities, you can just relax. My neighbors are on vacation, so good-bye, Seelys, hello, cable television.
Dewey: I have a better idea. There's a job center I thought we could go to.
Francis: Oh, I get it. My little bro is worried about me.
Dewey: Maybe a little. Plus, cable is so overrated.
Francis: Look, Dewey, I know it may seem like I don't have a lot going on, but I've got plenty of irons in the fire. Like my screenplay.
Dewey: It's only five pages.
Francis: They're probably going to bring in some high-priced rewriter. Why should I do his work for him?
Dewey: Do you have any other irons?
Francis: Look, I know it's tough to break into Hollywood. I'd be pretty stupid to rest everything on that. That's why I'm training a possum.
Dewey: To do what?
Francis: Dial a phone, hop on one foot, walk like John Wayne... Stuff that people who visit roadside circuses like to see. So, does that put your mind at ease?

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.
