Malcolm Quote #531
Quote from Malcolm in Malcolm Dates a Family
Ivan: So... you want to marry my daughter?
Malcolm: What?! [laughter]
Ivan: I couldn't resist. I'm sorry to put you through all this, but our family is very protective of our little Angela. We need to know what kind of boy you are.
Malcolm: ... Well, uh... I'm just normal. I go to Angela's school. I get good grades. Uh, I have a job three days a week at a drugstore with my mom. Um... never had a cavity. Did have all my shots. Religiously, I guess I would classify myself as a hopeful agnostic. I think the basic philosophical question is...
Angela: Can we stop this? Look, he's a genius. He's the smartest kid in our whole school by, like, a lot.
Ivan: Really? Genius? Say something smart.
Malcolm: Well, um, I'm doing a paper on cosmological inflation. It's a theory that says the reason the universe is so homogeneous is that right after the Big Bang, there was a short period of even more rapid growth than usual.
Ivan: I hope you mentioned the importance of scalar fields to the whole concept of symmetry breaking. Not to brag, but I did some pretty important work on this.
Maria: Oh, please. Until they actually find a Higgs particle, it's all just empty speculation.
Ivan: Yes, dear. Women. I'm okay with him. You okay with him? [Maria nods] Nana?
Nana: Eh.
Ivan: She loves you! Come on! We're going to see how much a boy your age can eat. And there'll be singing! And I have to warn you, we're big Botticelli players in this family. How's your medieval history?
Malcolm: Okay, I guess.
Ivan: Malcolm's on my team!

Quote from Malcolm
Malcolm: Isn't it great when the girl asks the... [gasps] Angela. I totally forgot. Oh, man, I've got two dates to the Spring Dance. It's sort of like that old episode of... well, every show. If you think about it, it's actually a pretty interesting challenge. [Stevie's wheel gets stuck] I mean, Urkel did pretty well with the identical cousin trick until he got greedy and made himself a duke. And Potsie doesn't count because one of his turned out to be a dude. Stevie, are you even listening to me?
Stevie: Two girls... ...two families. I don't have... two lungs!
Malcolm: What does that have to do with...
Stevie: People with... your luck... aren't allowed... to be creeps. Just... choose!
Malcolm: Yeah, all right. [walks off and leaves Stevie stuck]
Quote from Lois
Lois: Excuse me. What's this "SV" at the bottom?
Alfredo: That's the service charge.
Lois: Service charge? What service charge?
Alfredo: We add 15% for the service. We had a lot of people stiffing the waiters. We've been doing it for years.
Lois: Forcing people to tip without telling them? We've been double-tipping without realizing it all this time.
Alfredo: There's a notice right here. That piddly little sign? That's what you use to justify it?
Reese: Oh, no. Is this gonna be "shoe store" bad or "circus" bad?
Malcolm: I think it's gonna be "ten-items-or-less aisle" bad.
Hal: Is our car on fire? I think I hear sirens. We better go.
Lois: You put up a little sign that nobody can read, and that gives you the right to steal?! Where is the manager?! I want to see the manager! Don't you give me that look.
Dewey: I probably won't see you for a while, Manolo. Lo siento mucho.
Quote from Malcolm

Ivan: Okay, do you believe in life after love?
Malcolm: No, I am not Cher. [laughter]
Ivan: We'll never beat him!
