S3Reese Drives

[over pay phone] How many police cars are chasing you?

[over cell phone] I don't know; eight, maybe nine? What are we gonna do? There's no way out of this!

Hey, don't give up! Sometimes things look darkest right before the sun breaks loose-

[Five lumberjacks enter the room and stand behind Francis with their arms folded]

...and sometimes you have to realize that the game is over, and that you've lost. The-

[Five more lumberjacks enter the room]

...The only thing left to do is to stop running, stand up, and face the consequences like a man. And-

[Five more lumberjacks enter the room]

...And even if the outcome is gonna be more horrible than you could possibly imagine, you can hold your head up high, show some class, and end it with dignity!

[Francis puts down the phone, swallows, and turns to face the lumberjacks]

Class...

[over the phone] FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! NOT THE STUMP ROOTER! NOOO!

[Reese hangs up]

S3Cynthia's Back

He's just using you and what's worse is you're falling for it!

Leave me alone!

You heard her.

But... What's her name?

What?

What's her name?

I know what her name is and I am not going to dignify that with a response. And her name is...

[He fails to call out Cynthia's name and touches her breasts. Enraged she punches Reese in the face and he falls to the floor]

[beating Reese to a pulp] HOW CAN YOU BE SO CREEPY?! DON'T YOU EVEN HAVE THE REMOTEST SENSE OF DECENCY TOWARDS A FELLOW HUMAN BEING?! I HAVE FEELINGS! I WILL BE TREATED WITH RESPECT!

[Malcolm salutes jauntily and walks out of the room as Cynthia continues kicking Reese.]

[offscreen] I WILL NOT BE OBJECTIFIED!!!! I WILL NOT BE HUMILIATED OR DEMEANED!! NOW KISS MY SHOE! KISS MY SHOE!!!

[Francis is trying to make sense of a totem pole]

I have fasted, I have meditated, I got frostbite spending a night in the wilderness! I just want to know what to do! What am I missing?! Okay, let's see, there's a wolf. What's that? Loyalty! And the eagle. Keen insight. Insight! And the frog is...bug-eating! BUT WHAT DOES IT HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING?! Please, just give me a sign or-or a signal or-or something! [The door bursts open and an Inuit man steps in] Oh, my God!

IMInuit Man

You the dirtbag that took my pole?!

Huh?

IMInuit Man

That's my pole. I want it back!

Oh, of course. I'm so sorry. Look, I didn't take it, but, please, I'm going crazy. Can you tell me what it means?

IMInuit Man

Well, if I hit it, it means I'm five inches away from the back of my carport.

What?! You use this as a wheel stop? This beautiful, sacred thing?

IMInuit Man

Sacred? It's a decoration. You know, like a coat of arms or a storybook. It's a pretty chunk of wood that my kids helped me carve on a nice Saturday afternoon.

But you can't tell me you can't feel the energy...!

IMInuit Man

You white boys are all the same. [sarcastic] I've got dark skin, so I must dance with the bears and listen to the spirit of the wind! [angry] I've got news for you. I work for a living! I'm a Baptist, and I'm proud of it!

But... are you sure?

IMInuit Man

And by the way, I have only one word for snow... SNOW!

KKaren

Oh, by the way, I lived in your house while you were on vacation last month.

S3Hal's Birthday

Boys, would you leave the room a minute so your father and I can talk?

NO!

Excuse me?

I'm not leaving. You guys just chase us out whenever you want without even asking us. I'm getting tired of it! Watching TV is the only thing to do in this house that's actually fun. So you're left with two choices: you can either fight somewhere else, or get us a TV for our room.

[Later in the boys' bedroom, all three are stood in the corners, facing the wall]

There's no reasoning with that woman!

I thought you made some good points.

It doesn't matter, she doesn't listen anyway. It's like talking to a wall.

[giggles] Hey, that's what we're doing!

[After the family learns Francis has gotten married to a girl named Piama]

Why can't you just be happy for us!?

We're supposed to be happy, when you repay us like this after all we've done for you!?

I'M CONFUSED! ARE WE TALKING ABOUT THE YEARS OF PSYCHOLOGICAL ABUSE, OR SHIPPING ME OFF TO MILITARY SCHOOL!?

[In the boys' room, while Francis and Lois are having a heated argument outside...]

This family sucks. They don't care anything about us. They don't even listen to us. Let's out of here.

To the demolition derby?

No, I mean let's really get out of here and get away from these people.

Where are we gonna go?

[pulls out Hal's credit card from his pocket] Wherever this takes us. I snagged it out of dad's wallet this morning.

You knew we were gonna need it tonight?

Uh... yeah.

I'm in.

Yeah, but...

[After the family discovered the boys' at the hotel after running away from home...]

Okay, boys, get your things. We're going home.

No! We're not going back there.

Okay, Well, you can't stay in this hotel room forever. What are you gonna do, live under a bridge and steal food out of dumpsters?

I don't know, but we're not going home! We've had it with the way you treat us, and we've hat it with all the yelling!

You are a terrible influence on us!

All you ever do is scream!

And order us around!

There's something wrong with this family! Families should have some way of communicating besides yelling!

Okay, everybody, calm down. I understand what you're saying, I'm not gonna yell, I'm not going to scream. We are capable of talking about this without raising our voices. Now, boys, I want you to understand I'm sorry about what happened. But you have to understand I get a little emotional when I learned that my oldest son was acting like an idiot and throwing his life away. Now that doesn't mean-- [gets splashed with water. It's revealed that Francis' wife, Piama threw water at her.]

Stop talking about him like that! Francis is my heart!

S3Hal Coaches

[Ed has just learned about Reese reading his undeleted emails from his affair with the other women.]

EEd

Oh my god, how much do you know?

Everything. You might want to formulate your megabytes next time you get rid of your computer. Oh, and by the way, Mrs. Swanbeck, You are sick!"

EEd

"Keep your voice down."

You have to stop this?

Stupid game This is ridiculous!, Everybody in my family is, like, perfect. My mom is President, Reese is married to six supermodels and my dad used all his money to fund a search for extra-terrestrials. Nothing I do has any effect whatsoever. If I give them money, if I take it away if I make them ugly, if I make them Canadian everything works out beautifully for them and horrible for me!

Dewey just became Pope.

And I weigh 500 pounds. Thats it I'm just going to have to kill them. Go to counter, get knife, kill them. No! Don't make yourself a sandwich! Kill! Kill! No, not yourself! Don't kill. Don't kill.

S3Dewey's Dog

[In Dewey's imagination] Dewey, you're not allowed to have a dog, remember? We want you to be miserable.

[Lois comes in the kitchen and catches Dewey eating a meal meant for her and Hal, covering for his dog Marshmallow. Later on Hal is home confronting him]

I don't understand it! An entire roast, with your bare hands?! The–the–the–the salad, the potatoes, the–the green beans?! What do you have to say for yourself?

I was hungry, I guess.

This is great. Let's tell them about the dog and really nail his coffin shut.

Not yet. I have a hunch.

An entire stick of butter?!

Now, lets tell them now.

Wait for it.

Wait a sec. How could you eat a candle?

[Takes candle stick from Hal's hand and eats it.] I like candles. i think they're good.

[Lois is disgusted with him.]

That's it, you are going to the hospital and getting your stomach pumped.

You call that a collage. It is an insult to the craft. I can see paste come up from the top of the popsicle stick.

MMrs. Meekitjuk

I'm sorry, I have Arthritis.

That's it. You have just lost pudding for the whole group. Feel free to thank Mrs. Meekitjuk after I leave.

[The former commandant leaves and the other elderly residents starts despising him similar to Eric and the other Marlin cadets did.]

S3Poker #2

[After Malcolm's half-assed efforts to destroy a gun nearly end in a shooting]

CCop

So let me see; you found the gun, didn't tell your father, handled it, hid it inside the house, handled it again to move it and tried to destroy it with a hacksaw. And at no point did you contact the police until after the gun went off?

Yes, I know.

CCop

What did you say your I.Q. was?!
