Malcolm Quote #552

Quote from Malcolm in Dewey's Special Class

Malcolm: I'm Malcolm, Dewey's brother. I have to talk to you about the test Dewey took.
Mrs. Welsh: I'm afraid I can only discuss that with his parents.
Malcolm: See, that's just it. I can get in a lot of trouble for coming here, but I have to tell you why his test came out the way it did. [sighs] Our mom has a substance abuse problem, and she had a huge relapse the morning he took the test.
Mrs. Welsh: Oh, my God.
Malcolm: Yeah, which is why she can't find out I came here. I don't want to say she's dangerous because she's, you know, my mom, and I love her.
Mrs. Welsh: Wow. Well, I can tell you really care about your family.
Malcolm: It's been really hard.
Mrs. Welsh: Let's see what I can do. Okay? And I don't think we have to bother your mom with this.
Malcolm: Thanks.
Mrs. Welsh: I'll do everything through your dad. Thanks for the heads up.

Quote from Otto

Otto: Distinguished guests, friends, members of the press... when the Fish Defense League told me that the dam on our property was blocking the endangered silverback trout from its natural breeding grounds, I was glad to help. And so today, we are going to blow up this evil dam. Afterwards, we will have a nice, light lunch provided by the Grotto, a friend of fish and the business traveler. Here we go!
Francis: That's weird. From here, the dynamite looks a lot like a picnic cooler.
[When Otto presses the ignition key, a flat-bed truck behind them goes up in flames]
Otto: I am starting to think that that is a picnic cooler.

Quote from Lois

Lois: [cutesy voice to Jamie] ...and then he was chopped up and eaten by wolves, because that's what happens to babies who pull hair.

Quote from Reese

Dewey: So the school thinks I might be a genius, too? But I'm not a whiny loudmouth who complains about everything.
Reese: Malcolm's a genius, and now Dewey's a genius? I guess it's only a matter of time 'till we find out that I'm a genius. I wonder what kind of genius I am. 15 times 32 is 3,989.
Malcolm: It's 480.
Reese: Okay, so I'm not Rain Man, big deal. Some day they'll invent a machine that does that stuff for you, anyway.
