Hal Quote #228
Quote from Hal in Evacuation
Hal: Hey, uh, fella, don't you think you're overreacting? I mean, my family is exposed to dangerous chemicals all the time. In-in fact, I-I remember I accidentally set off a flea bomb in the boys' room when my son, Dewey, was in there taking a nap.
Dewey: I can smell colors.
Soldier: Sir, I've got two overturned tankers out there spewing out a cloud of sulfuric acid and sodium hydroxide. That can scar your throat and lungs in a matter of seconds.
Hal: But it's not necessarily fatal. I-I mean, maybe you'd need an artificial larynx, but you'd still be alive.
Reese: That'd be so cool. [croaky] My name is Reese. What are you looking at?
Hal: Son, please. Has anyone died yet?
Soldier: Not that I'm aware of.
Hal: Well, what if the wind shifts? Is the water supply going to be contaminated? What about the food? What about the medical personnel? How can be sure that all these people are going to be safe?
Soldier: I'm sorry, I really don't know all of the answers. I'm just a high school senior.

Quote from Reese
Reese: I got to tell you, Malcolm, sometimes I'm so good, it's scary.
Malcolm: What are you doing with toilet paper?
Reese: I got my hands on some canned fruit. I traded those for batteries, the batteries for DVDs. And I swapped those with the janitor for the school's entire supply of toilet paper. Once the specially "seasoned" meat loaf works its magic, I can name my price.
Malcolm: You know, that's not only unbelievably evil but you actually put some thought and effort into it. I'm impressed.
Reese: I don't know what it is. I guess when people are miserable and suffering, it brings out the best in me. Thanks for noticing.
Quote from Hal
Hal: Hey, Dewey, want to go with me to take the old couch to the dump?
Dewey: No, I want to watch cartoons.
Hal: What, are you kidding? We're talking about the city dump. Mountains of smoldering garbage as far as you can see. Swarms of flies that block out the sun.
Dewey: Really?
Hal: Mmm. Last time I was there, I saw a 40-pound seagull carry off a dog in its beak.

Dewey: Three tons of maggots
Hal: Two gigantic rats
Both: And a stench that will buckle your knees.
Hal: Yahoo!
