Malcolm Quote #210
Quote from Malcolm in Reese Cooks
Malcolm: How's it going?
Cynthia: Oh, great. The party's a blast. Can't you hear it in there? What are you doing here, Malcolm?
Malcolm: You won't talk to me at school and you won't return my calls. I just want to say again that I'm sorry.
Cynthia: Fine. You want to alleviate your guilt? You are absolved.
Malcolm: Just let me finish. I'm not sorry that I told you the truth. You were just setting yourself up for a big disaster tonight if you went ahead with your party. I just... I wish I was nicer about it.
Cynthia: What's the nice way to tell someone they're a social retard?
Malcolm: So you see my problem. But what I didn't say is that even if you are a dork, you're also smart and funny and interesting and kind and a totally unique person, and if other people can't see that, that's their problem.
Cynthia: So, how'd you learn to deal with the whole school making fun of you?
Malcolm: The same way I deal with everything: I pretend it doesn't bother me and then lash out on people who don't deserve it. It seems to work.

Quote from Hal
Lois: We are not getting through to him.
Hal: Well, what else can we do? We- We've taken away television, video games, his music, fresh air. Lois, we have taken away his air, and he doesn't care about any of it.
Lois: Well, we had better come up with something before he winds up being a problem for the state.
Hal: I don't know, maybe we should try something other than punishing him.
Lois: Like what?
Hal: Maybe Reese needs more attention. Positive attention. When I was his age, I always wanted someone there to talk to, to hang out with, be a role model.
Lois: Oh, Hal, I don't know.
Hal: Lois, that boy needs a father figure, and I really think it should be me.
Quote from Hal
Lois: You are not to step foot outside of this house except for school for the next month!
Reese: Okay.
Hal: Wait a minute, honey, he has to go outside. He's not done pulling weeds from his last punishment.
Lois: Oh, I think staying inside with no TV is worse than weeding.
Reese: I'm already banned from TV.
Lois: You are?
Hal: All right. Fine. No TV, no going outside except for weeding, which you'll do at night. Inside. Oh, I got nothing.
