Francis Quote #39
Quote from Francis in Lois vs. Evil
Hal: [on the phone] Francis, where have you been? I've been looking for you for days.
Francis: I'm sorry, Dad. I've just been buried here.
Hal: Okay, listen, I've got kind of a bad news/good news thing here. [sighs] Your mom lost her job, and we're pretty broke. The good news is, that makes your tuition an issue. Now, I think I can talk her into letting you come home.
Francis: Dad, no, I can't come home! Marlin Academy is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I am at a crucial point in my rehabilitation.
Hal: Uh-huh. What's her name?
Francis: That's the thing. There's, like, ten of them!

‘Lois vs. Evil’ Quotes
Quote from Lois
Malcolm: [to camera] It's been ten days since Mom lost her job. Yesterday for dinner, we had macaroni and rice. Today it's rice and macaroni.
Reese: Mom, I can't eat this stuff anymore.
Lois: Reese, this is not the time for complaining.
Reese: I'm not complaining; I'm constipated.
Lois: I'm sorry, we can't afford to live lavishly anymore. Drink your milk.
Dewey: It's lumpy.

Quote from Lois
Malcolm: You're going to keep the food?
Lois: Yes. I'm not going to throw away perfectly good pie filling and... lamb chutney.
Malcolm: Don't you even care how humiliating this is?
Reese: We've done can drives. This is just the crap people find when they clean out the garage.
Lois: Okay, just stop it. I know how hard this is but no one ever said life is fair. Sometimes decent, hard-working people get dumped on for no good reason. They just have to wipe their eyes and keep on walking. Something will turn up. We just have to hold on a little bit longer.
Hal: And in the meantime be thankful for small favors. Anyone want the last olive?
Lois: Those aren't olives. Those are peaches.

Quote from Hal
Lois: A $150 bottle of cognac? How could you take this?!
Dewey: I'm sorry.
Hal: My God, would you look at this thing? Can you imagine the man who spends $150 on a bottle of cognac? What do you think a guy like that pays for socks?
