Malcolm in the Middle2000

Lois:
Just let me talk to him, and I can end this in five minutes.

Sgt. Rowdy:
I'm sorry, ma'am, I don't think that's a good idea. We have trained psychologists to handle kids in these situations. We know how they think.

Lois:
Think? My son doesn't think. He's just driving around in circles. He's made three laps around this city already.

Hal:
[watching the TV coverage] There's our drycleaner again.

Dewey:
[handing the officer a nude baby snapshot] Here's another picture of my brother you can show on TV.

Lois:
Just get him on the phone and let me handle this. I'm the only one who knows how.

Sgt. Rowdy:
Trust me, we have this under control.

Lois:
[spitting angry] Don't think I don't know what's gonna happen. You're gonna do your standard police thing and my son is going to get killed in a hail of gunfire.

Sgt. Rowdy:
Ma'am, that almost never happens.
