Francis Quote #472
Quote from Francis in Traffic Ticket
Francis: [on the phone] Mom, great news.
Lois: Francis, I'm a little busy here.
Francis: Okay, here it is. I just sent you $20 good-faith money...
Lois: Great. Only $727 more before you can come home.
Francis: What?
Lois: Francis, I am not going to let you weasel out of your responsibility. Because of you, we are down to one car until your father's next paycheck. No, you either come up with the money or you don't come home.
Francis: Mom, it's impossible. I'm in school. When I'm not in school, I have homework. When I'm not doing homework, I'm in detention. If I'm lucky, I have six hours free a week. At minimum wage I wouldn't be able to make it home until Thanksgiving 2010.
Lois: You bring the yams. [hangs up] He'll find the money.

Quote from Reese
Reese: Just remember, Mom, in a world of lies, truth is your only weapon. [off everyone's looks] What? It's not?
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.
