Malcolm, Reese and others in “"Surgery"”

Malcolm

[To audience] Nothing like two days in the hospital to make you appreciate your own home.

Reese

Gimme that!

Lois

Oh my God! Look at Malcolm's hospital bill! I can't imagine how much it would've cost if he'd actually gotten the surgery.

Hal

Well, there goes our summer vacation.

Dewey

So we have to pay, even though he was faking?

Malcolm

I wasn't faking! I was the one who found out they were wrong.

Reese

Well, if you're so smart, why didn't you figure it out sooner?

Hal

Well, son, would you like to field that one for us?

Malcolm

[To audience] Nothing like ten seconds at home to make you appreciate the hospital!
