Malcolm in the Middle, Season 2

[After Lois tells Francis that he owes the family $747.13 for the unpaid parking tickets.]

Francis:
This is totally unfair! None of this would've happened if you weren't such a reckless driver!

Lois:
Excuse me??!!

Francis:
When I park too close to a mailbox, I didn't endanger anyone's life.

Lois:
I didn't endanger anyone. I was pulled over by a corrupt cop for a traffic violation that I didn't commit!

Francis:
[sarcastically] Oh, but when I say I've been framed by the police, you ship me off to military school! Ironic, isn't it?!

Lois:
That cop was out to get me!

Francis:
Of course he was. Everyone's out to get you. And the neighbor's cat's the ringleader. Didn't you know that?

Lois:
Ha-ha, you can laugh all you want, Francis. But until you come up with the money, you are not coming home.

Francis:
Where am I supposed to get $700?! You're just using this to keep me here.

Lois:
Yeah, that's right. It was the cat's idea.
