[Lois has just picked up a paralyzed Hal from the hospital and brought him home, concerning the boys.]
What's wrong with him?
The doctors call it Hysterical Conversion Disorder. It's psychosomatic. Apparently he's paralyzed from the waist up.

[Lois is frustrated as Hal moves around, clearly in distress]
Dad, what is it?
[Lois taps his head and he immediately calms down. He begins petting her leg with his foot.]
I think he's thanking you.
