Cynthia Quote #8
Quote from Cynthia in Reese Cooks
Cynthia: [to a boy] I hope you come with an appetite. I'm serving cookies shaped like famous Communist revolutionaries. [to another boy] Hi, I'm Cynthia...
Malcolm: Uh... Cynthia, can I talk to you for a second?
Cynthia: Sure. Tell all your friends! [snorts]
Malcolm: How many people are you inviting to your party?
Cynthia: God, who knows? I left a stack of invitations at the library and a stack at the arcade. I figure people will appreciate the personal touch. You know, so they can match a face with a face. [giggles]
Malcolm: Don't you think you're kind of overreaching?
Cynthia: What are you talking about?
Malcolm: I'm afraid you're setting yourself up for a giant disappointment. I mean, when ten people don't show up, it's a drag. When 300 people don't show up, it's, like, total humiliation.
Cynthia: Well, I guess lots of people will have to show up, then.

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.
