Malcolm Quote #657
Quote from Malcolm in Ida's Dance
Malcolm: You are not walking away from this, Dewey. You're going to help me beat this.
Dewey: I don't care. Fail your course.
Malcolm: I dropped that class last week.
Dewey: Then why are you bothering me?
Malcolm: Because you know music and I don't and that's not fair.
Dewey: It's totally fair. You just hate that you don't get to be better than everybody at everything all the time. Music's my only thing. [puts on headphones] And you know what? It's greater than everything you have put together, because it's about beauty and love and feeling, and not about proving what a creepy little genius you are to everybody, so excuse me. I'm going to appreciate music. It's all the sweeter because I know you can't. [Dewey screams as Malcolm turns the volume on the stereo all the way up]
Malcolm: Oh, my God. Dewey. Are you okay? I'm sorry.
Dewey: I'm deaf. I'm deaf. Oh, my God. Mom's gonna kill us!
Malcolm: Shut up. Calm down. [Dewey's ear is bleeding] I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Your hearing will probably come back in a while. Please, just don't say anything, okay? Let's just keep this quiet for a while. Do you understand? [Dewey punches Malcolm] Does a punch mean yes? [Dewey slaps Malcolm] Good.

Quote from Reese
Malcolm: Check it out. This is my homework. I've spent every night this year cramming my skull full of integral calculus and conversational Latin. I just needed one class that wasn't going to kill me. And then I saw it Music Appreciation. It's an actual class. All I have to do is listen to a CD and write down how it makes me feel. It's such an easy "A."
Reese: No matter how easy an "A" is, a "D" is always easier, Malcolm.
Quote from Reese
Malcolm: "F"?! I can't believe that goateed moron gave me an "F." "You obviously didn't even listen to the piece.
" I listened to it. You saw me.
Reese: You know, with the right kind of pen, you can turn that "F" into a "P."
Quote from Dewey
Malcolm: I have a favor to ask. I'm taking Music Appreciation, but I'm not doing so well. I have to get an "A" in this class. I know you know about this stuff, so I'm willing to pay you ten bucks an hour to teach me until I get it right, okay?
Dewey: [laughs] "The Adagio for Organ and Strings" makes you happy?
Malcolm: Are you going to help me or not?
Dewey: So let me get this straight. You, the brilliant genius Malcolm, are coming to me, your little brother, for help on your homework?
Malcolm: Yes, Dewey, that's right.
Dewey: So you're a total idiot at music?
Malcolm: Yes, Dewey, it seems that way.
Dewey: Huh. That's probably why you're such a drag to be around.
Malcolm: Yes, Dewey, that's probably why I'm such a drag to be around.
Dewey: Interesting. And that must be why you're hitting yourself.
Malcolm: Is this gonna take long?
Dewey: Depends how fast you obey. And that must be why you're hitting yourself.
