Hal Quote #831
Quote from Hal in College Recruiters
Malcolm: This is my decision. My future.
Hal: You're a kid. You could change your mind. You just needed a cooling-off period. I almost married a Mexican woman two weeks before I married your mother.
Malcolm: What are you doing? You're mortgaging my future for some dinners and a few sweaters?
Hal: I got other stuff: ponchos, seat cushions... All right, I was going to let you make the final decision... I just liked the attention. No, no... I loved the attention. If I was a woman, I'd be a slut.
Malcolm: You were just leading all these guys on.
Hal: I know. It's just... Malcolm, I'm an average guy, in the middle of my life, in a job that can replace me in an hour. I was never an important man. You're the only important thing I've ever done. Oh, God!
Malcolm: Don't feel bad, Dad. You raised me. You deserve the attention.
Hal: No! Vince left the check.

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.
