Hal and Dewey in “Malcolm Defends Reese”

Hal

Okay, what you need here is some sort of romantic gesture.

Dewey

What do you mean?

Hal

Just off the top of my head, you could send her a nice box of expensive chocolates.

Dewey

I'm not sure.

Hal

Too late. You already did. You just dropped off a big box on her front doorstep, rang the bell, and ran like hell. You also trampled some of her rose bushes. Congratulations, son.
