    • Quotes

      Malcolm: [Malcolm shows the brothers evidence that they've been humiliated on the Internet] The Schwabs sent out a mass eMail to everyone at school. They Photoshopped our heads onto a dirty movie.

      Dewey: Gross!

      Reese: That can't be a dirty movie. There aren't any girls in it.

      Reese: [pause for recognition] Oh my God!

      Malcolm: I'm not homophobic. If the three of us were gay lovers, I'd be fine with this. But it's not true!

      Reese: [passionately] This is so humiliating. My abs are way more ripped than that guy's.

      Dewey: [quietly, through clenched teeth] We've got to respond.
