Hal Quote #178
Quote from Hal in Traffic Ticket
Hal: Hey, honey. God, it's been a great day. The fire alarm went off during the morning meeting, and I got the last Snickers out of the vending machine. I did not think it was going to fall, but then I gave it a little hip check-- boom!
Lois: Who is Susan King?
Hal: Hmm? Susan King. Hmm, Susan King. Give me a moment. Susan... All right, before I say anything, do you know already or are you really asking?
Lois: She called today with some insurance quotes in case I get a point on my license. Why would she do that?
Hal: It was nothing. I just gave her a little phone call. Curious about a few things.
Lois: Like what will happen if I lose?
Hal: Well, yes, yes, I just wanted to find out what the worst-case scenario might be. I mean, what if...
Lois: There are no "what ifs," Hal!
Hal: You're right. You are right. Right, okay. So, I mean, even if our insurance does go up and we can't afford two cars, we'll just sell one. I mean, you know, what did they do before cars? They, uh... They walked, so we'll walk.

Quote from Francis
Malcolm: [on the phone] Hey, Francis. You know Mom's traffic ticket? Well, I have a videotape, and it shows that Mom really was at fault, and...
Francis: She was wrong?
Malcolm: Yeah, and now I'm trying to figure...
Francis: What are you talking to me for? You have incontrovertible proof that Mom was wrong. Shove it in her face.
Malcolm: Francis, I don't think that's a good idea.
Francis: Are you kidding? It's brilliant. From now on, whenever she gets all high-and-mighty with us, we can just throw this back at her.
Malcolm: Francis, I can't. If I show Mom this tape, she'll go crazy and then she'll kill the messenger, which is me. You're asking me to commit suicide.
Francis: And think of the look on her face!
Quote from Craig
Craig: Lois, Lois... I give Officer Stockton a discount. You know, policeman's discount? [whispers] 100% off?
Lois: Craig, I can't do that.
Craig: But, Lois...
Officer Stockton: Don't worry about it. It's okay, Greg. [walks away]
Craig: It's "Craig." [to Lois] What are you, crazy? Don't you know how this works? We scratch his back, he scratches ours? We give him a few candy bars, he looks out for us. It's called protection.
Lois: Craig, we have been robbed five times in the last six months.
Craig: Lois, think of all the places he gets free stuff from. He can't be everywhere at once.
