Storyline

Malcolm finds himself being antagonized by a new bully, Kevin. This kid was always mocking him, teasing him, at lunch he cut right in front of him. On pizza day! But after Kevin taunted him about it one time too many, Malcolm loses it and attacks the kid, but deeply regrets it after learning his bully was 7-years-old; Hal cuts down the huge tree in the front yard, and he and the boys have just a little too much fun with the wood chipper.

Quotes

Ed: That tree was older than your house. You had no right to cut it down. We're a neighborhood, and removing trees is a neighborhood decision.
Lois: Oh, yeah - you people! For fifteen years you've mowed your lawns in the middle of the night so you don't have to talk to us. Now, what, all of a sudden we're a neighborhood?
Hal: What's going on here?
Ed: You've caused a blight on our street by cutting down that tree.
Hal: How is cutting down a tree a blight?
Ed: Because now we can see your house.
