Lois Quote #170
Quote from Lois in Traffic Ticket
Lois: You're expecting me to lose. Is this how you support me?
Hal: I do support you. I'm just- I think we need to know what we're getting into here. I mean, I don't know. Is, is it actually worth all the trouble?
Lois: Yes, Hal. I think standing up for myself is worth the trouble! I think refusing to be railroaded is worth the trouble! I know I can win this because I know I'm right! I can't believe you have so little faith in me!
Hal: I have complete faith in you. It's the rest of the world that I don't have faith in. Things could look different to different people. The system can be corrupt. We wouldn't be in this situation if that weren't true. And sometimes, Lois, being right isn't enough.
Lois: Being right is everything. I didn't do anything wrong, Hal, and I'm willing to fight to prove it. I know it's going to be hard. [Malcolm and Reese walk in with the video tape] But that's why the last thing I need is my own family undermining me. How many times do I have to tell you? I'm right, I'm right. I swear on my children's lives, I am right! What do you want?
Malcolm: Nothing.

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.
