Francis Quote #236

Quote from Francis in Malcolm Holds His Tongue

Piama: What the hell are you doing?
Francis: Piama, this is an old cowboy trick. You soak your boots in water, and you don't take them off, even for a minute, until they are completely dry, even if it takes days. And when you're done, they fit like a glove. I know it seems drastic, but believe me, I know what I'm doing.
Piama: Those are $300 boots you just ruined.
Francis: I didn't ruin anything. This is what you're supposed to do! You're going to have to trust me on this. Why do you always talk to me like I'm an idiot?

Quote from Malcolm

Lois: A peptic ulcer? How did you manage to get a peptic ulcer? The doctor said you have the stomach lining of a 60-year-old air traffic controller. You are a teenager, for God's sake. What do you have to be stressed about?!
Malcolm: For your information, I just spent the past three hours on a gurney next to a guy who is still trying to smoke out of the hole in his neck. And the jackass who put in this I.V. couldn't find a vein with two hands and a flashlight! My call button doesn't work! These stupid sheets are itchy. There's only one channel on the TV. And what's this about a bedpan?!

Dewey: Got it.
[Hal is mesmerized as he sees a power walking team pass through the park]
Dewey: Dad?
Hal: It's like watching the gods return to Olympus.
