Quotes
Dewey: You missed it. It was so awesome.
Malcolm: What?
Dewey: Reese just came up with the most fun thing to do. Riding your bike through the graveyard - with your eyes closed. He smashed into this one gravestone, flew through the air, hit another gravestone and landed in an open grave!
Reese: Lying in that hole was surprisingly peaceful. I no longer fear death.
Malcolm: I've been sitting here bored out of my mind for four hours. Why didn't you invite me?
Dewey: Didn't we?
Malcolm: No, you didn't. You walked right by me. I thought you were going out to the garage.
Reese: Huh! Oh, well.
Malcolm: It's not a big deal. It's just that my feelings are kinda...
Malcolm: [he turns to the camera, addressing us viewers] Oh, crap!
Reese: Your what are kind of what?
Malcolm: Nothing. Forget it!
Reese: [sensing a rare opportunity to humiliate his brother] I think somebody has feelings, Dewey.
Malcolm: I do not.
Reese: We gotta make this right.
Dewey: [deftly following Reese's lead] Group hug?
Reese: Awwww, listen to those feelings.
Reese: [Dewey and Reese approach Malcolm with their arms outstretched] Come here, you!
Malcolm: Get away from me!
Malcolm: [again speaking to the camera and us, the audience] In our house, *that's* the "F" word.
