Malcolm Quote #374

Quote from Malcolm in Stupid Girl

Malcolm: Sometimes when it rains, they get stuck. Here.
Alison: Thanks. Uh, Malcolm, right?
Malcolm: Yeah, and I know you're Alison. I'm glad we finally talked after a month of being locker neighbors.
Alison: "Locker neighbors"?
Malcolm: Yeah, we're... This is my locker.
Alison: Oh! You- Locker neighbors... 'cause... 'cause we're right next door. Yeah, that- That's funny. I- I get it. [school bell rings]
Malcolm: Well, uh, see you, neighbor. And keep your damn dog off my lawn!
Alison: I- I don't have a dog.
Malcolm: No, no, I was kidding, because we're neighbors and sometimes neighbors have a problem with their dogs going... See, I always assume people know when I'm kidding, but sometimes it's just so subtle I come off sounding like a jerk. I mean, not too subtle for you. I don't want to sound condescending. It's just I think about this kind of stuff a lot. And I should have stopped talking 30 seconds ago, right?
Alison: Uh, I have to go to gym now.

Quote from Reese

Malcolm: How do you go through your life without worrying that bad things are going to happen?
Reese: I don't know. I guess if I feel myself starting to worry, I just sing the Minty-Mint song in my head. [sings] They're cool, they're fresh, they'll clean your breath Minty-Mints are your breath's friend.
Malcolm: So, when I just asked you that question about failing, you were thinking about that song?
Reese: Yep.
Lois: [o.s.] Boys, for the last time, get in here, and help me with these groceries now!
Reese: [lays back down on bed] Minty-Mints are your breath's friend. [chuckles]

Quote from Otto

Otto: Ah, Francis. I am such a lucky man. When I left for this country, all of my friends are warning me, "Otto, Otto, be careful. People will try to take advantage of you." But this is not the case. Like that Mr. Dodson. He knows so much more about ranching than I do. But does he act all superior and high and mighty? No! No! Instead, he teaches me. Like before today, I did not know that cows need ultraviolet protection.
Francis: What? What is this stuff?
Otto: Sunscreen. For cows.
Francis: Otto, how much did you pay for this?
Otto: $200 a bucket, plus, of course the zinc for their noses. [vehicle departs outside] Do not worry. I already paid him.

Quote from Hal

Dewey: You're going to the steamroller, aren't you?
Hal: [gasps] So what if I am? I rented it. Why shouldn't I get to use it? It's a free country.
Dewey: Dad, you've been crushing things for five days straight. Have you even slept?
Hal: That's the thing, Dewey. Ever since I got the steamroller, I don't have to sleep. It's like the laws of nature don't apply to me.
Dewey: What's this?
Hal: Nothing.
Dewey: It's a brochure for a wrecking ball.
Hal: It's not even mine, okay? I'm just holding it for a friend.
Dewey: Dad, I think you have a problem.
Hal: Why can't everyone just leave me alone?!
