00:00That's it, Jamie. He sure loves his ice cream, doesn't he?
00:11Yes, no, maybe. I don't know. Can you repeat the question?
00:24You're not the boss of me now. You're not the boss of me now. You're not the boss of me now, and you're not so big.
00:48Life is unfair.
00:54Narragansett bays are home to a surprising number of plankton species. They are Skeletonemocostata, Asterionella.
01:04This blows. Get up and change a channel.
01:07I didn't lose remote. You get up and change a channel.
01:09I didn't lose it either.
01:14So the stupid cops let my dad off with another warning. We've lived in this neighborhood for three weeks, and they still haven't carted him off yet.
01:22No! Jessica, you don't get to keep barging in here every day like you own the place. Go back outside and knock. And then go away!
01:32Seriously, what do you have to do to get Popford drunk and disorderly around here? He was out on the curb in his underpants rolling burning trash cans into the street.
01:40The sad thing is, we're still the worst family on this block.
01:44Coming up next, the Strongest Man in the World competition!
01:48Yes! Finally!
01:50What are you doing?
01:52Watching House of Style.
01:54You don't get to change our TV. Malcolm, back me up here.
01:57Maurice, give her a break.
01:59Why? We live in just as big a stink hole as she does. Where do we get to escape to?
02:04Maurice, you're right. This is your house. If you don't want to watch it, you can get up and change it.
02:14Nice try.
02:20Dad? I need some help with my homework.
02:23I don't think so, Dewey. I put in all this time and effort then you just have Malcolm correct everything after I go to bed.
02:30I can't do this with Malcolm. I'm supposed to do a 300 word report on how you're my personal hero.
02:37Me? You think I'm your hero?
02:43Dad, don't freak out. We had to pick one of our parents. Can I just watch it for a while?
02:49Sure. As a matter of fact, you can help me with my project.
02:52What are you doing?
02:53You know that jerk across the street who's always got it in for me?
02:58Parking jerk or lawnmower jerk?
03:00No, Christmas jerk. Bill Rendle.
03:03Every year that guy waits to see what decorations I put out and then finds a way to top me.
03:09I string lights, he strings better lights. I put out Frosty, he puts out an elf village.
03:14I put out Dracula, he does nothing, and I look like a jackass!
03:18I mean, what kind of sick mind uses a religious holiday as a weapon?
03:22Wait, which one's called a cop's jerk?
03:24That's like four of them. Anyway, I decided to let Rendle have his precious little Christmas victory if it's so damn important to him.
03:32Okay.
03:34I'm doing Pearl Harbor Day instead.
03:36What?
03:38Pearl Harbor Day. December 7th, 1941. The opening shot of the Second World War.
03:45I am going to build a spectacular tribute to those courageous soldiers.
03:50It's going to be beautiful and dignified and uplifting.
03:55And it's going to be all mine.
03:59You want to help?
04:00Yeah, sounds fun.
04:03Are you really going to put up a formation of flying zombies?
04:06No, I just drew them because it looked cool.
04:12Jessica, your pasta recipe is terrific.
04:15Look at us, eating healthy for once.
04:18Reese, you want some more?
04:19No. She took over the TV, now she's taking over dinner.
04:23This isn't even food.
04:25Reese, it's just low fat.
04:26And if you knew anything at all about food, you'd know that fats and oils are the vehicles by which flavor travels.
04:34Fat is what makes things taste good.
04:36That's why a wise and loving God created fat in the first place.
04:41She is a guest in our home and I think it's delicious.
04:49She can make me take it, but she can't make me eat it.
04:57Do you think we should cut up some of these guys so there's more body parts floating in the water?
05:02Yeah, that's a little gruesome. Just melt them with the lighter.
05:06Okay, I have a little announcement to make.
05:08You know how last year with the conspiracy trial and your father and me losing our jobs, we ended up $20,000 in debt?
05:15Yeah.
05:17Well, after six months of scrimping and saving and going up to $28,000 in debt, we are now down to $26,000 in debt.
05:23Look out world, we're back!
05:26I know how much you boys have sacrificed, kicking in your paychecks and working extra shifts, and well, we thought you guys deserved a reward.
05:34Really? This is great. I thought you were going to start charging us for water.
05:39So, your dad and I are taking the whole family, and Jessica, to see a musical!
05:47A what?
05:51A musical! From Broadway! It's called Mamma Mia!
05:56They take all those old ABBA songs, like Dancing Queen and Fernando, and stick some story in between.
06:02Oh my god, you're serious!
06:04Six partially obstructed seats!
06:07At first I thought of treating you boys to a rock concert or motocross or something like that, but then Jessica told me about this, and I thought this sounded perfect!
06:16Wow! I mean, I just mentioned it because it was interesting. I didn't think you were going to take me! What a nice surprise!
06:23I need your calculus notes! I couldn't listen to a word Mr. Jacobson was saying on that stupid golf shirt!
06:35How can a man have nipples that big?
06:37What?
06:39You can hang out here if you need to get away from your dad, but don't act like we're friends, okay?
06:44Why are you mad at me?
06:45Because I stick up for you all the time! And you turn around and manipulate my mom into doing something only you want to do!
06:50Wait, you're talking about the show?
06:53Let me explain something to you, Jessica. My family doesn't have fun! We aren't nice!
06:59And the one time my mom actually does do something nice, you hijack it for your own-
07:02I didn't do it for me, I did it for Reese!
07:05What does Reese have to do with it?
07:07You know what he has to do with it.
07:09No I don't.
07:11Please tell me you're kidding.
07:13About what?
07:15Oh my god.
07:17You honestly don't know.
07:21You are actually so self-involved and narcissistic that you can't even see it.
07:27See what?
07:28You know what, Malcolm?
07:29Why don't you try to go for maybe two seconds without thinking about yourself and see what you notice?
07:34Stop insulting me! What the hell are you talking about?
07:38It never even occurred to you to wonder why Reese is so angry all the time?
07:42Why he acts like such a jerk?
07:44Because he's a jerk?
07:45Oh, that's right. Just because he's your brother doesn't mean you should put any thought into it.
07:50He couldn't possibly be dealing with anything weird and confusing.
07:55He couldn't possibly be afraid to admit that he wanted to go see a musical because you'd make fun of him.
08:01Of course I'd make fun of him. What kind of guy wants to see a Broadway musical?
08:04Yes, Malcolm. What kind of a guy does want to go see a Broadway musical?
08:15Come on.
08:16Maybe you're not being selfish. Maybe you're just too scared where it leads if you think about how much he fusses over his hair and his body and his gourmet cooking.
08:28Some people just don't want to see what's right in front of their faces.
08:32No, uh-uh.
08:38Look, maybe I'm butting in where I don't belong.
08:42But you're his brother.
08:44And he should at least be able to count on you for support.
08:55Thanks a lot for sticking us with that stupid show.
08:58I didn't do it for me. I did it for your brother.
09:00Malcolm's gay? I knew it!
09:10Wow! Look at it go, huh?
09:13They may have been responsible for one of the most devastating attacks in American history, but by God, they make a good toy.
09:22Is that what I think it is?
09:24Dad, it's not really-
09:25I'm just gonna take a little peek.
09:26My dad, my hero.
09:27I might have jazzed it up a little.
09:28Actually, everything in this report is just made up. Every word of it. I never did any of this stuff.
09:36Are you sure? I could have sworn Mom said something about you giving your parachute to an orphan in mid-air.
09:38You are not going to turn in a paper full of lies.
09:39But Dad, it's due on Tuesday.
09:40You're just gonna have to find another way. Let me explain something about heroism, son.

09:57You're not going to be a hero.

18:08Vendetta.
18:09How could she be so...
18:10Vendetta!
18:11Yes, Vendetta.
18:14Reese, I promise we'll get back at her.
18:17But we have to be careful.
18:18She's got Mom totally on her side.
18:21Oh, yeah.
18:23It's tricky.
18:24Somehow we've got to figure out a way to turn Mom against her.
18:28Okay, got it.
18:29What?
18:30It's a little risky.
18:31But I'll tell you one thing.
18:33No one calls me gay and gets away with it.
18:35Ah!
18:37Ah!
18:37Ah!
18:38Ah!
18:39Oh!
18:53Dad, it's beautiful!
19:07Did what I could on my own.
19:11Yeah.
19:13Sorry.
19:21Then he accused me of loving Mom more than him
19:23just because I would slash your boyfriend's tie.
19:26I'm so sorry, honey.
19:28Parents shouldn't put their kids in the middle.
19:31Or hit on their friends.
19:33Boys, come get the groceries.
19:35Hope this means we can eat soon.
19:37Hold it.
19:39What's that?
19:41What?
19:42That.
19:43A turtleneck? What do you care?
19:45You don't wear turtlenecks.
19:46Can I just get the groceries so we can eat?
19:48I've got a ton of homework I need to...
19:50Aha!
19:51Mom, don't!
19:52Who gave you that?
19:54None of your business!
19:55What's your problem anyway?
19:57Can't you go five seconds without butting into my life?
20:03What?
20:04It wasn't her, Mom. I swear.
20:07You always think you know everything, but you're wrong.
20:10You're dead wrong this time.
20:13I think you and I need to have a little talk.
20:15But I didn't...
20:16Come on.
20:24When your Mom comes out,
20:25she's gonna wanna know what I said to you about this.
20:28Make up something good.
20:29You did it to me again!
20:30You did it to me again!
20:47I suppose you have a good explanation for this.
20:48Not really.
20:49Lois, I'm sorry. I'm not gonna lie to you.
20:50I gave him the hickey to keep him from doing something really stupid.
20:51Excuse me?
20:52I'm not saying I was smart either, but...
20:53There's this girl that Malcolm's been chasing, and she's really bad news.
20:55She's sexually active and I'm pretty sure she's into drugs.
21:00I suppose you have a good explanation for this.
21:04Not really.
21:06Lois, I'm sorry.
21:07I'm not going to lie to you.
21:10I gave him the hickey to keep him from doing something really stupid.
21:14Excuse me?
21:15I'm not saying I was smart either, but there's this girl that Malcolm's been chasing, and
21:20she's really bad news.
21:21She's sexually active, and I'm pretty sure she's into drugs, and the only reason why he's
21:26interested in her is because she's so insecure about himself.
21:31We got into this fight, and I was saying that he could do so much better, and he said that
21:37nobody liked him anyway, and I was telling him that a lot of girls liked him because he's
21:42sweet and cute and funny, and then he couldn't grab me, and he started kissing, and I couldn't
21:49stop because then he would think I was making the whole thing up, and I'm sorry.
21:57I didn't know what else to do.
22:00Wow, that's a pretty convincing lie for just winging it.
22:08I mean, you went a little overboard with the crying, but the basic story was good.
22:12Drug girl was a nice touch.
22:14Creepy.
22:15A little sad.
22:15What?
22:16How did you...
22:17Sweetie.
22:18I'm a mother.
22:20It's my business to know.
22:24You've got talent, but I turned pro 20 years ago.
22:28Which isn't to say you haven't been useful.
22:30I never would have been able to enjoy that play in peace if the boys weren't occupied, and
22:35the gay thing was very entertaining.
22:37But more important, those two idiots actually treated each other decently for a few days.
22:44Thank you for that.
22:46So, here's the deal.
22:48As of today, you are banned from this house.
22:51You violated my trust.
22:53But I don't want you around, my boys.
22:56Knowing that, they will automatically forgive you and sneak you back in.
23:04You will be here every day after school until 6, except Thursdays when I work until 9.30.
23:09You will have complete run of the house, but I want Reese to do his half hour of assigned
23:14reading and Malcolm to complete all his college applications, not just the Ivy Leagues.
23:19And no junk food.
23:20Understood?
23:21For how long?
23:23We'll see.
23:24Ice capades are coming in a few months.
23:27Sure would be nice to go as a family.
23:35Do you think we have enough?
23:36Let's hope so.
23:37I cleaned out every bait shop in town.
24:07Come.
24:08Come.
24:11Come.
24:13Come.
24:14Oh, my God.
24:44Oh, my God.
25:14Oh, my God.
25:44You're not asking Butt Munch?
25:46Right, like you hear anything but the sound of your own voice.
25:49Keep bent.
25:50Bite me.
25:54I liked you better when we were gay.
25:57Me too.
