Hal Quote #402
Quote from Hal in Kicked Out
Hal: Uh, your poster, it's distracting people from my poster, and mine was there first.
Patrick: So? It's not your tree.
Hal: Look, I-I'm sure that your dog Milton Is very sweet and you love him very much, but I'm looking for my son. An actual human being who's been missing for two days. Now don't you think finding a lost person is more important than finding a lost dog?
Patrick: I don't know your kid, but from the way my mom and dad talk, your whole family isn't worth as much as my dog.
Hal: You li- [chuckles] What's your name?
Patrick: Patrick.
Hal: Patrick. Let me tell you a little something about your dog. He's gone, see? Some other family has taken him in. And right now that family is pampering Milton in ways you never even dreamed of. So your dog already loves them a lot more than he ever loved you. And if you ever did get him back, oh, he would just resent you until he found some way to escape again. So, why don't you just take the poster down, okay?
Patrick: Take your poster down. Your kid's probably in a crack house.
Hal: [tears down poster] Ha!
Patrick: [tears down poster] Ha!
Hal: [tears down poster] Ha!
Patrick: [tears down poster] Ha!

‘Kicked Out’ Quotes
Quote from Craig
Craig: You kicked him out of the house?
Hal: Oh, please. He kicked himself out of the house, Craig. Look, I've been through this before with Reese and Francis. It never lasts long. When Reese was kicked out, he spent the night on the roof until he got into a fight with a pack of cats.
Craig: So that makes it okay that Malcolm spent the night sleeping on a booze-soaked mattress in some dark alley?
Hal: Craig.
Craig: Oh, my God! He's probably dead by now!
Hal: Malcolm can take care of himself.
Craig: You're right, you're right. He's a genius, which would make him even more attractive to rogue elements in our secret weapons programs. How long before some government scientist picks him up and tries to surgically attach him to some animal?
Quote from Reese
Reese: This moment has been a long time coming. The fruit of over two hours of planning and labor.
Quote from Gretchen
Gretchen: [sings] That's the night that the lights went out In Georgia That's the night that they hung an innocent man Well, don't trust your soul To no backwoods Southern lawyer 'Cause the judge in the town's Got bloodstains on his hands Bloody, bloody hands.
