Quote from Reese

Malcolm: Are you studying?
Reese: Yeah. My stupid teachers wait until the end of my senior year to tell me I have final exams. In every single class! I've got to get serious now. If the finals are anything like this practice test, it's gonna be brutal.
Malcolm: It's just a bunch of true/false questions.
Reese: So it's a 50-50 chance. Do you know what the odds are of getting one of those right?

Quote from Hal

Hal: Mulberry Village. A new utopia!
Malcolm: What the hell is all this stuff?
Hal: Oh, just a few compulsory guidelines to help people make the transition.
Malcolm: Failure to smile 'Hello', $50 fine? Not knowing your neighbor's name, $25? Failure to remove your fence, $100?
Hal: People can be resistant to change.
Malcolm: What's the "Hug your child" initiative?
Hal: Everyone has to publicly hug their child at least once a day. A hotline will be set up so that children can inform on non-hugging parents.
Malcolm: You're going to make kids inform on their parents?
Hal: Parents, neighbors, teachers, everybody! If they've got nothing to hide, they've got nothing to worry about.
Malcolm: Tell me about the "reeducation center."
Hal: Oh! That's where the best, most neighborly children will be plucked from the corrupting influence of their families, and immersed in round-the-clock friendliness training. I call them the Mulberry Youth.
Malcolm: Dad, give me the fliers.
Hal: Thank you, son, but they've already been distributed throughout the whole neighborhood. Like a modern-day Martin Luther, I nailed them to the front doors. [crowd noises] Maybe we should go out the back door and spend the rest of the day at the library. Not now, Malcolm. The villagers are coming.

Quote from Reese

Malcolm: What's up with Mom?
Reese: She just saw my report card. I flunked out of every single class.
Malcolm: What?
Reese: Every single one of my finals, I got every question wrong.
Malcolm: Oh, my God.
Reese: I know. Now I get to repeat my senior year! Isn't this great? I worked so hard for this. I had to make sure I flunked every class so completely, I couldn't make it up in summer school. Now I don't have to move out or go to college or get a job for a whole 'nother year! This is the greatest achievement of my entire life!
