[shows Malcolm a legal document.] Malcolm, we need to talk. I know we've been avoiding this, but it's time to face facts. You need to forge Dad's signature declaring Mom mentally incompetent. That way when Dad goes to jail, you can get emancipated and I'll take custody of Dewey and Jamie.
Strange, I always figured Mom for jail and Dad for the loony bin. Life, huh?
I can't fake Dad's signature. I do Mom, Reese does Dad.
What?!? You should each be able to do both! What did I tell you about building a little redundancy into the system?
