    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Reagan Dale Neis, who plays Malcolm's schoolmate and girlfriend is actually 9 years older than Frankie Muniz in real life
    • Goofs
      After the line "Get your filthy mouth off of my daughter's face." initially, when Malcolm lies down on the table in a foetal position, he is in full shade. On a change to overhead camera, his upper arm, thigh and shins are in full sunshine.
    • Quotes
      • Reese: Dewey. I finally found out why everybody's been giving you money. There's this kid who looks just like you and he's been doing chores for everybody. I knew that everybody must have an evil twin.
      • Dewey: He's my evil twin?
      • Reese: No, Dewey, this kid's a saint. You're his evil twin.
      • Dewey: But, I don't want to be an evil twin.
      • Reese: Dewey, shut up. This thing involves money and an evil twin. We got to find a way to make this pay off... Let's go watch soap operas.
