Al : [the school Janitor gives Reese instructions for his new job as Assistant Janitor] Any questions?
Reese : [ecstatic] Yeah. Why would you ever go home? This job is better than I could ever imagine! A cool uniform. The power to cordon off wet floors. You're not just some creepy loner hanging around the school. You're the *janitor*.
Al : Don't get too excited, kid. You'll be gone after 30 days.
Reese : Oh, no. I'm really committed to this. I'll be...
Al : No, no, no, you don't understand. This is a union gig. Once you get past the 30-day probation, you're locked for life. Full benefits: medical, everything. So, they never keep a new guy for more than a month. Hey, I'm sorry kid. You really seem to be a natural at this. I've never seen anybody take to garbage the way you do.
Reese : [crestfallen] There's gotta be some way. I mean... I mean, what if there was a mess. A mess that was so big, and sticky and disgusting that it was impossible to clean up in less than 30 days?
Al : It's a beautiful thought, kid. But there's no such thing as a 30-day mess.
Reese : [determined] Yeah? Well they also said they'd never put a man on Mars!

Reese : What did I miss?
Malcolm : There was this big explosion. Some fire shot out and now he's just come to.
Reese : What I was just gone for a second.
Dewey : Shhhhhhh! I wanna see this.
Lois : [walks in and sees Hal attempting to fix the TV] Oh for God's sakes, Hal. Pay the money and get a repair man.
Hal : I am not wasting good money when I am perfectly capable of...
[Hal is electrocuted and the boys laugh at it as Lois leaves embarrassed]
