Justin Berfield and Bryan Cranston in Malcolm in the Middle (2000)

Quotes

Thanksgiving

Malcolm in the Middle

  • Francis: [sobbing] Don't tell me not to cry! Maybe my tears will make an ocean, and you can sail off on a boat to a new life without me!
  • Malcolm: Mom must be slipping. All I got was no TV, video games, or computer, I have to clean all the kitchen and bathroom tile with a toothbrush, wash every window in the house, and change Jamie's diaper for the next 6 months.
  • Francis: No, you got like 9 other things after you passed out.
  • Reese: Dad, remember the chocolate soufflé I made for Thanksgiving two years ago?
  • Hal: Oh, yeah, that was...
  • Reese: RAT PUKE compared to what I have planned. The crêpes I made last Thanksgiving?
  • Hal: Oh, they were...
  • Reese: CRAP next to what we're having tonight. Don't think of this as a meal. This is like eating the Mona Lisa.
  • Reese: Dewey, do you trust me?
  • Dewey: No.
  • Reese: Do you fear me?
  • Dewey: No.
  • [pause]
  • Dewey: Not in the long run.
  • Hal: [about Lois' meddling in Francis and Piama's marriage] Okay, I'm not smart enough to figure out what you're up to. But when something bad happens, I am blaming you.
  • Hal: What do you need?
  • Reese: Your mindless robot-like obedience to every demand I make, no matter how small.
  • Dewey: Plus we get to eat anything that falls on the floor.
  • Francis: I will not keep my voice down. What, you think they won't know in like 5 minutes that we're getting a divorce?
  • Piama Tananahaakna: Sorry, we're having some problems.
  • Francis: Having some problems? Is that what you call finding out that all the love that we shared was a lie?... Hi Mom.
