• Hal : [Malcolm hangs up the 'phone as Hal walks in]  If that wasn't a relative, I'm going to be very upset.

  Malcolm : Just another college recruiter.

  Hal : [upset, as predicted]  Just another college recruiter? Y'know, when I was applying, believe me, there were no recruiters. If I hadn't found that ad inside that matchbook, I may not have pursued higher education at all.

  Malcolm : But they're calling me all the time. I must get ten calls a day.

  Hal : Then each one must be handled like that's the university you're going to. It's called 'options'. Why do you think guys date ugly women?

• Dewey : [duffel bag in hand]  I'm all packed up.

  Hal : Good for you. Are you going somewhere?

  Lois : He's going to Francis's. Let's go over the rules again. When you are on the bus, what are you to do?

  Dewey : Talk to no-one, don't let anyone sit next to me, try to look sickly and learning-impaired, cough every few minutes, and nose-picking's OK.

  Lois : Encouraged! And what if you're on the bus for a few hours, and you have to go to the bathroom *really, really bad*?

  Dewey : Still don't go.

  Lois : That's my boy!

• Lois : [to Hal about Raduca]  Did you see the way she talks to him? She has broken his spirit.

  Hal : He's not our Reese anymore.

  Lois : I know. It's fantastic.

  Hal : Yeah.
