Lois Quote #500
Quote from Lois in Reese Comes Home: Part 3
Sgt. Hendrix: Well, ma'am, how can I help you?
Lois: It's about my son, Reese. Um, I think you know him as Private Jetson.
Sgt. Hendrix: Private Jetson. Ma'am, let me shake your hand. That boy is the finest soldier that this old dogface ever had the privilege of commanding. I wish I had a hundred more just like him. He's a fine boy.
Lois: Yes, well we think so, too.
Sgt. Hendrix: I'd be proud to help you in any way that I can. Now you just name it.
Lois: The problem is he joined under false pretenses. He ran away; he's not even 18 years old yet. We need to know where he is so we can find him and bring him back home.
Sgt. Hendrix: I'm sorry, ma'am, I can't help you. That's classified. If your son were on a secret mission, which I'm not saying he is nor that one exists, it would compromise said mission if indeed there were one. My hands are tied.

Quote from Hal
Hal: It doesn't have to be tuna surprise. It can be chicken surprise, or beef, but there will be a surprise involved.
Quote from Lois
Lois: Give one of them special privileges for no reason.
Sgt. Hendrix: How does that work?
Lois: It's really pretty neat. The others don't know why he got special privileges so they start doing everything right just to catch up. Then the one you singled out starts getting suspicious and paranoid and he starts informing on the stragglers.
Sgt. Hendrix: That sounds pretty good. You mind if I steal that one?
Lois: Yeah, be my guest. You know another good one? Let them pick punishments for each other. It exercises their creativity and keeps them from ganging up on you.
Sgt. Hendrix: Nice.
Lois: You can also take their breakfast, lunch and dinner, put it the blender and grind it up into a gray paste. Eventually, they eat it. That's kind of fun.
Sgt. Hendrix: You are an artist.
Lois: No, I'm just a talented amateur.
Sgt. Hendrix: I wish I could help you. I wish I could just open this drawer up and show you the information you need. But I can't. It's got me so frustrated that I just want to stare intently out this window for, oh, say... 120 seconds.
Quote from Lois
Malcolm: Mom, what happened?
Lois: I'll tell you what happened. I told them how my underage son ran away and joined the army under false pretenses and was sent off to combat and you know what they said? They said if you can find out what name he used, they can have him back to us in six months. Six months! They'll have him back to us in six months?!
Malcolm: [to camera] I don't know if she's upset he's gonna get killed, or met someone else is gonna do it.
Hal: Honey, you know you're gonna lose a nail inside your palm again. Just calm down and let the army-
Lois: I don't trust the army, which means this family has to find him, and I don't trust this family, which means I have to find him. [Lois unclenches her hand]
Hal: Two Purple Hearts and a Bronze Star?
Lois: And he blubbered like a baby.
