Hal Quote #690
Quote from Hal in Butterflies
Dewey: I want you to know something. I've been sleeping in that bed by myself for a week. A week without sharing covers, a week without being smashed, and a week without having anyone's butt shoved into my face.
Hal: So, what are you angry about?
Dewey: Because during the last week, I've grown half an inch. You lied to me. I'm not the smallest kid in my class from my genetics. It's because I've been stuffed into a bed with Malcolm all my life.
Hal: Whoo, you don't know that. It could be all the crap we feed you, or the chemical plant near the park.
Dewey: Dad!
Hal: Dewey, I'm sorry. But we can't afford to buy you your own bed. You'll just have to grow after Malcolm goes off to college. Oh, no, then Jamie's going into it. Well, at least you'll always be bigger than he is.

Quote from Lois
Lois: [over P.A.] Attention, Lucky Aide trespasser. You do not get to do this. You do not get to live off the grid. If anyone on the planet was entitled to hide from all the aggravation, it would be me, but I don't, do you understand? No one gets to shirk their share of the misery. Everyone has to be stuck in this together. That's what's fair. Those are the rules. Now, you obviously know me, so you know what I'm willing to do to find you. So save us both the time and come out now.
[Norm emerges from an aisle]
Craig: Let me handle this. [to Norm] Do you know anything about a guy living in the store?
Quote from Malcolm
Lois: All right, what's in this bag?
Malcolm: Nothing. I'm restocking.
Lois: Fresh fruit? A package of all-cotton underwear? A decent book? We don't sell this stuff.
Malcolm: Okay, fine. If you must know, I was restocking my locker. I've been having intense stomach problems, and that's what the fruit is for, and the underwear, and sadly, the book, too. And now that you've publicly humiliated me, can I go about my business? [to camera] Okay, not bad. It's plausible, embarrassing enough for the outburst, and essentially unprovable. I just have to stand my ground.
Quote from Craig
Malcolm: That's weird. Did you see anyone?
Lois: What?
Malcolm: Someone left a candy wrapper and change on the counter here, but nobody's been in the store for hours.
Craig: It was probably a mouse.
Malcolm: A mouse that left the exact change?
Craig: I played tic-tac-toe with a chicken at the county fair, and it beat me eight times in a row. Don't shortchange animals.
