While the benefits of increased muscle mass and a more authoritative ----------------------- Page 2----------------------- Transcript from Malcolm-France speaking register are plain, these changes can produce certain... negative desires. Now, we used to handle it with cold showers and regularly scheduled beatings but sadly, times have changed and I am forced to rely on a less effective option: education.

Reese: Hey, hey, pace yourself, killer. sees Hal finishing off chopping down the tree with his chainsaw Whoa. Hal: Whoo-hoo! Reese: Dad. You cut down the tree and we missed it Hal: Oh, baby, you missed it, all right. I was about two- thirds of the way through her then crack! Kaboom! My chain saw goes flying. All the car alarms go off. About 100 squirrels came boiling out of the branches. Then a pack of dogs came out of nowhere and chased them all over. Man, I've never seen anything like it. Reese: Man... Hal: sees Dewey’s disappointed look Oh, don't worry, son. You'll get to share in the best part. Cleaning up. Spangler: I think you'll enjoy my sexual awareness lecture next week. It's been called riveting. Cadet #1: I'm sure it is, sir. Cadet #2: It sure worked wonders for me, sir. The only woman I can think of without vomiting is my own mother. Spangler: As it should be, son, as it should be. Francis: He's giving that same lecture to the underclassmen. I can't let that happen. I'm stealing his slides. Stanley: And to you that's a good idea ----------------------- Page 5----------------------- Transcript from Malcolm-France Francis: Absolutely. I know it's hard core, Stanley but I'm not doing this for me. I'm doing it for them. After all, they are the future. Stanley: Francis, I don't know why you assume we'll be able to just walk into Spangler's office and find the sex slides. Francis: in Spangler’s office Oh, man, I wish all my break- ins were this easy. Okay, I got 'em. Let's get out of here. Wait a second. Oh, my God, this is a gold mine. Spangler drinking... Spangler kissing... Spangler in a Speedo Spangler out of a Speedo. Stanley: All right, that's enough. Let's leave, huh Francis: Wait a second. I have an idea. I'm going to make Spangler's sexual awareness lecture just a little more interesting. Stanley: You do realize what he'll do to you if you humiliate him like this, right Francis: And yet, I'm doing it anyway. Weird, huh Dewey: Why are the eggs so little Lois: They're robin's eggs from the tree your father cut down. Paul Bunyan. Hal: That's nature for you. 100 years to grow, 12 minutes to cut down. There's got to be a lesson in there somewhere. Lois: It is nice having this extra light in the room. Hal: Oh. Wait till I bring in the wood chipper. Then you're really going to see something. Malcolm: I can't take this anymore. When are you going to punish me Lois: For what Malcolm: For beating up a seven-year-old. everyone laughs Lois: Oh, my God, that's right. You must've just felt ridiculous when you found out how old that kid was. I can only imagine the look on your face. doorbell rings I'll get it. Oh, this is nice. We should start every day with a good laugh. Malcolm: It's not funny. It's awful. I did something horrible. Don't you even care Hal: Well, it's nothing to be proud of, son but you told us the whole story and he didn't give you much choice. It was an honest beating mistake. Reese: Besides, it sends a good message to our enemies. ----------------------- Page 6----------------------- Transcript from Malcolm-France Malcolm: What are you talking about What enemies Reese: Oh, they're out there. And once they know we're capable of this they'll know we're capable of anything. Malcolm TC: Okay, so it's not just me, right There's something seriously wrong with this family. Lois: It's none of your business what we do on our property. 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, you people. For 15 years, you mowed your lawns at night so you don't have to talk to us. Now, all of a sudden we're a neighborhood Hal: What's going on here Ed: You've caused a blight by cutting down that tree. Hal: How is cutting down a tree a blight Ed: Because now we can see your house. Lois: Well, let me tell you something, Ed. As far as I'm concerned you and the neighbours can all just... Hal: That goes double for me. I want you all off our property now or... Malcolm: No wonder I'm a thug. How can they act like this Then I found out he was only seven. I didn't know what to do. I felt like I had to talk to someone. I hope I'm doing this right. See, my family - we're not like regular churchgoers but I know places like this are supposed to help you feel better and that's really what I need. I did something terrible, and now I just feel like there's something wrong with me. I mean, really wrong, deep inside. I can't shake it. What do I do Priest #1: Look to the church. Priest #2: Look to God. Priest #3 Look within. Priest #1: But first, you must ask forgiveness. Priest #2: But first, you must atone. Priest #3: First, you must cleanse your spirit. Priest #1: The path to salvation. Priest #2: The path to temptation. ----------------------- Page 7----------------------- Transcript from Malcolm-France Priest #1: The path to meditation. Priest #2: How does one define a sin? Well, it's mostly common sense. Priest #3: Then you have to light incense. Priest #1: If you practice abstinence - Priest #3: It's whatever space you're in Malcolm TC: Huh Priest #1: C-C-Charity. Priest #2: Prosperity Priest #3: Clarity. Priest #1: Divine. Priest #2: Restitution. Priest #1: Absolution. Priest #3: Contribution. Priest #2: Palestine. Priest #1: Sacramental. Priest #3: Accidental. Priest #2: Mostly mental. Priest #3: You'll be fine. Priest #1: Transubstantiate. Priest #3: Alleviate. Priest #2: Who knows Priest #3: Align your spine. Malcolm: Uh... well, thanks. I feel much better. Bye. Hal: Hey, boys. Where's your brother Reese: I don't know. He said something about being evil and he took off. Hal: Ah. Uh, stay back. Reese: Wow! That was the coolest thing I've ever seen! Hal: Really? All it does is instantly vaporize anything that goes into it. when Dewey throws his lunchbox in Dewey! What was...?! Actually, that was pretty cool. What else you got Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! Well, we've obviously run out of ideas. ----------------------- Page 8----------------------- Transcript from Malcolm-France Kid #1: Yolanda, this is a love that cannot be. Eraserhead: Stop! Can't you put some life in it It's 1969! The slide rule is about to be replaced by the pocket calculator! You have to feel the panic in the air. Malcolm: I can't stop thinking about what I did to Kevin. I feel like crap, and no one understands. Even you. You're supposed to be my friend and you don't even care. Stevie: And yet... you keep... talking. Malcolm: Maybe if I did something good that would cancel it out, right Or if I'm only doing it to feel better is that selfish and doesn't count as much sees Stevie is gone Stevie TC: Okay. So, I just have to think of a really giant good deed. That way, I know I'll be in the plus column. I bet I can think of something great. I just have to put some thought into it. sees sign for a charity race There! That's perfect. I'll run the marathon and get people to pledge money for every mile that I go. I hate running, so it'll be hard and I'll have to train for it, so it'll take dedication and it'll be helping cure diseases which no one likes. And then I can get on with my life. Eraserhead: No! No! NO! I can't work like this! I'll be at my cubby. Malcolm TC: This'll work. It has to. lets dog out of a yard and it chases him Hal: There we go. Reese: Looks great, Dad. Hal: Yeah? I don't know. Now that it's in there it sort of makes me miss the old tree. This one's a little droopy and the branches are a little spindly and there's no face. Well, there's that little one but it's not the... kindly little spooky face... Oh, my God! What have I done Reese, get my chain saw. Kevin’s Brother: I hear your son likes to beat up seven-year-olds. Hal: I wouldn't say he likes it. He's good at it, apparently. Kevin’s brother: poking Hal Look... in my family we don't go for that. Hal: Probably not a good idea to poke me. Kevin’s brother: mocking Hal Probably not a good idea to poke me. Cut to the school, where Hal and Lois are arriving to watch Malcolm race. ----------------------- Page 9----------------------- Transcript from Malcolm-France Hal: I'm sorry I beat him up but how was I supposed to know he was 15 He was huge. You should have seen the grip he had on my throat. Caroline: Okay, people, I need all the pledge sheets before we can begin. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Malcolm: Caroline Caroline: Malcolm, I am so glad you decided to do this. Now, were you able to get any pledges Malcolm: Here. Caroline: Wow. Hal: I don't suppose there's a beer guy around here. Lois: This is a charity race at an elementary school. Hal: Oh. So, I have to go to a stand, or something, huh Caroline: My God. Are these real Hal: Well, I assume so. Why Caroline: Well, look at all of them. He has more pledges here than everyone else put together. If he runs the distance he is going to raise over $8,000. Man on intercom: Runners, take your marks. Get set. Gunshot Malcolm: starts running, then falls on his knee Ow. Spangler: Perhaps her name is Mary or... Wendy, or Becky Lou. It doesn't matter because her real name is ‘disease’. cadets laugh Isn't so pretty anymore, is she, boys Chancres... lesions... furuncles - Such is the pri... Why, these aren't the proper slides. Some hooligan has switched them. This is obviously some ingenious scheme to humiliate me. I find myself so overcome with embarrassment I can't stop clicking. Although there's probably one in here of a cadet who thinks he's all alone, and... well... technical difficulties. We will resume the lecture with the proper slides at 0800 tomorrow. Gentlemen. to Francis Remember, son, a good soldier always checks the chamber. Lois: Okay, this is going to sting. What is with you Malcolm: Nothing. Lois: Usually you scream like a stuck pig when I put this stuff on. You've been such a zombie lately. Malcolm: It feels worse on the inside than it does on my knee. Lois: What are you talking about ----------------------- Page 10----------------------- Transcript from Malcolm-France Malcolm: Mom, I can't stop feeling bad about what I did to Kevin. I feel like I have a monster inside of me. Lois: Oh, for crying out loud, Malcolm, that's no monster. That's your conscience. You should be thankful God gave you one. Malcolm: Yeah. It feels great. Lois: I'm serious. It's a gift. And you know what most people do with theirs They keep them in the closet and bring them out only when they think he's coming to visit. You're not like that. Good for you. Malcolm: But I can't stop thinking about it. Ow! Lois: Were you thinking about it just then Malcolm: No! Lois: See? I promise you will feel bad about Kevin only as long as you're supposed to. Now, go to bed. You're a nice boy, Malcolm and I'll kick the conniption out of anybody who says you aren't including that little voice in your head. Malcolm: Okay. Good night, Mom. Lois: Good night, sweetie. Malcolm: Night, Dad. Hal: Good night, son.
