Quote from Piama in Polly in the Middle
Piama: I picked up some cold medicine for you.
Francis: I told you I'm fine.
Piama: You know what happens when you get that scratchy thing in your throat.
Francis: I don't need it.
Piama: I'm not gonna be up all night with you coughing. Just take it.
Ranch Hand: [to Piama] Señora. [to Francis] Señora.
Francis: You have to stop telling me what to do. You are putting me in a horrible position in front of my guys, Piama, and it's getting worse.
Piama: They're not doing the work?
Francis: What? No, they do plenty of work.
Piama: Then what's the problem?
Francis: They're... teasing me.
Piama: The other boys are teasing you.
Francis: Let me explain something to you, Piama. [quietly] The whole macho thing is very big in Mexican culture.
Piama: No, it's actually big in every culture, and I'm not buying into it just because these guys are acting like jerks.

Quote from Stevie

Quote from Malcolm
Malcolm: It's not a lucky shirt.
Reese: You shouldn't criticize things you're not equipped to understand, Malcolm.
Malcolm: It's a shirt. It's just fabric. There's nothing in there but atoms.
Reese: Luck atoms.
Malcolm: There are no luck atoms.
Reese: Everyone has some kind of luck, Malcolm. Like you, you're lucky at taking tests.
Malcolm: I bust my ass to get good grades.
Dewey: Why does my lucky shirt make you so mad?
Malcolm: Because believing in that kind of nonsense isn't smart or healthy or good for society. The world doesn't work by magic or superstition. It's rational.
Dewey: Maybe you believe that because all you're good at is thinking, and if the world isn't logical then you're lost.
Malcolm: Okay, fine. You know what, Dewey, luck this.
[When Malcolm throws a baseball at Dewey, it hits and the wall and bounces back into his own nether regions. ]
Malcolm: [gasps] This... proves nothing.
Quote from Abe
Hal: So, Abe, how's the divorce going?
Abe: It's a nightmare, Hal. Kitty is out of control. She wears these outrageous miniskirts to court, flirts with the judge...
Hal: What did your lawyer do?
Abe: He asked me if she could sit at our table.
Hal: Whoa. You know, Abe, it's been a while. Maybe you should think about getting out there again.
Abe: Oh, I've taken care of that. I've decided to spend the rest of my life in misery and die alone.
