Reese and Lois in “Hal's Dentist”

Reese

Mom, you might not know this, but I used to be afraid of a lot of things. Thunder, frogs, mailboxes...

Lois

You were afraid of mailboxes?

Reese

I used to imagine that if I stuck my hand in a mailbox, it would slam shut and rip my hand off. But I had something conquer my fear by ripping the lid off every mailbox in the neighborhood! I turned that fear into hate!
