Malcolm in the Middle, Season 3

[Francis has found a closet of Christmas gifts Ida has kept back for petty offences]

Francis:
Oh my God, you're crazy! I just thought you were evil but you are nuts!

Ida:
What are you talking about?

Francis:
Grandma, gifts aren't conditional; they're gifts! You give them to people because you love them. They're not something you can take away because of some petty slight. You're not teaching people anything, you haven't gotten back at them; they don't even know they've upset you. All you've done here is constructed a monument to your own insanity! WHAT KIND OF A PERSON DOES THAT?!

Ida:
A lonely, bitter old woman [she sits down]

Francis:
What?

Ida:
Look what I've done. What use is all these things to me now? They could have brought someone some happiness; instead, they rot here. [Ida clutches her heart]

Francis:
Grandma?

Ida:
My heart...I think it's...melting! [Francis rolls his eyes; she's being sarcastic] Yes, it's melting! You've shown me the way, Francis, by yelling at me! Quick, go get my magic sled, and me and my reindeer will go and give Christmas to all the mean, stupid, rude people! We'll all join hands and sing songs and sprinkle the ingrates with fairy dust!
