Malcolm in the Middle, Season 6

Mr. Flerch:
[Removes his duct tape from his mouth with his struggles and exposes Mr. Jeffers, the school principal at Dewey's school.] It was all his idea! I was just his obediant stooge. He dangled assistant vice principal in front of me. [sobs] It came with parking.

Dewey:
I wonder who would get the worst penalty, a bunch of emotionally disturbed kids who tie up people for a while. Or the trusted public servant who forced them into slavery. We could ask a judge or eeryone could keep quiet about everything.

Francis:
[untying the two janitors] Is that all right with you guys.

[One of the janitors, Jorge whispers in Spanish to the other janitor, refering to Mr. Flerch and the school principal.]

Janitor:
That depends. Can we get five minutes alone with these guys before you untie them?

[Mr. Jeffers and Mr. Flerch are concerned as Dewey smiles.]
