Reese Quote #176
Quote from Reese in Health Scare
Malcolm: Reese, if I show you a way we can go to the party, do you promise never to let anyone find out even though you're an idiot?
Reese: I swear.
Malcolm: OK. I was saving this for a life or death emergency... or a really, really good party.
Reese: Tell me! [Malcolm lifts up a floorboard in the boys' closet] No way. We're not hitting Mom with that!
Malcolm: Reese, tomorrow night after everyone's gone to bed, we take out the floorboard and sneak outside through the crawl space.
Reese: Wow. Tunneling out of our own room. She can't lock us in any more.
Malcolm: Mom's powerless.
Reese: Yeah. Now she's just a crazy old lady we have to live with.

Quote from Francis
Lavernia: You disgust me. You better run home to Mama, so she can kiss your tears away and make you cocoa and tell you- [Francis punches back]
Francis: For your information, my mother's a tormenting control freak. It would never occur to her to make me cocoa!
Quote from Reese
Malcolm: You can't call that a short cut! A shortcut has to be shorter!
Reese: Says who?!
Malcolm: Says the word!
Reese: No, a shortcut is just when you don't use regular streets.
Malcolm: So, according to you, if it took 150 years to cross the street, just as long as you went through some bushes and trees, that would qualify as a short cut?!
Reese: God, you hate being wrong.
