In this episode: Lois (7), Malcolm (4), Hal (4), Reese (3), Dewey (3), Jessica (2), Francis (1)

[Reese is arguing with the driver of an ice cream truck who refuses to sell ice cream in the middle of traffic]

This is just wrong! You can make money and please children! This is a senseless act! You are evil! Pure evil!

ICIce cream truck driver

Heh! If you kids are not willing to discuss this sensibly...

[The driver shuts himself in the truck]

You son of a...

Look, there's nothing you can do!

Yes, there is! I can... I can...

[Screaming, Reese runs forward and head-butts the side of the truck, then staggers back in pain]

And the Nobel Prize goes to...

Hey, you're talking about my brother! Good one.

[Francis attempts to eat 100 marshmallow "quacks"]

61! 62! 63!... [horrified] 62... 61... [enthusiastic] 62! 63! 64!

[first line] Ok, here's the thing about my family: we don't go on a lot of outings together. But when we do, there's a little tradition that we always end up observing.

[talking to the security guard] When you say lifetime ban, I mean who's lifetime that you're talking about.

[Lois drags Malcolm and Reese by the ear while the security guard sends Hal on his way.]

Don't you ever ask me for anything ever again. I should've just given birth to chimps, then at least I know to expect this kind of behavior.

Believe it or not, I actually envy Dewey. He got to stay home and play with the babysitter.

What time is it?

LLady

It's still 4:00. You have to wait at least a minute for the time to change, dear.

What time is it in China?

LLady

Well, sweetie, I think they're a good 20 hou...

Do you speak Chinese?

LLady

Well, no...I bet...

Is Chinatown in China?

LLady

Honey...if you want an answer to a question, you have to first wait...

(plays with his feet) What does this toe do?

LLady

You know what, I think I need a pack of cigarettes...for the first time in 20 years.

Dewey [singing]: A-B-C-D. A-B-C-D. A-B-C-D.

LLady

Honey, it's A-B-C-D E.

I know. [singing again] A-B-C-D. A-B-C-D.

Who's damn dog is this!!! I SAID, WHO'S DAMN DOG IS THIS!!! (tries to open the truck door but is locked) Trapped inside, and all the window's rolled and it's 90 DEGREES OUT HERE!!! (no one responds) Okay! Okay! It's nobody's damn dog. So, I guess nobody's gonna mind... (picks up a rock) ... if I just do this. (smashes the window and peeks in and talks to dog) Oh, don't be scared, little doggy. Oh, everything is gonna be... (dog snarls and goes after Lois; Lois' face turns to fear as she takes off)

OK, let me get this straight -- we've been waiting all afternoon for a crane, and now, the crane is here!

CWConstruction Worker

That's right.

And the man who works the crane? He's here, too!

CWConstruction Worker

That's right.

THEN WHY IS NOTHING HAPPENING?!

What's the point of being out here?

So you can find stuff like this. (picks up a dirty sock) Hehe, smells like gasoline.

Oh, flashing the brights. It's gonna be like that, huh? (slams on the brakes while the car behind him honks)

Good Lord, Hal! He could have a gun!

All right, silver Toyota, you win this round. (lets the Toyota pass him by) Haha, get there two seconds sooner!! It's just an accident waiting to happen.

(The car wrecks into a truck and everyone screams, Hal slams on his breaks)

Ice Cream Man [to Reese]: That will teach you to mess with me. I was a surgeon in my country.

Dewey. Where's the baby-sitter?

She's ran away.

You got rid of another baby-sitter? I can't believe you boys.

[being administered a DUI test by a highway officer] Z. Y. X. W...

Ok let me tell you something. If I say I could eat a 100 Quacks, you could take that as a bonafide guarantee. And there's no need to resort to personal attacks, I would hate to raise the issue of you wearing BOXERS in the SHOWER!
