Scholastic book 'Krelboyne Picnic'

<p><span style="font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;">Regardless of this, it's inevitable that the dialogue loses a lot of its spark in its simplified form, as is apparent from the original script:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;">Reese: Malcolm... Malcolm... <br /><br />Malcolm: Ow! Ow! How was that even remotely fair? <br /><br />Reese: That's for us all having to go to your stupid Krelboyne picnic today. <br /><br />Malcolm: You think I want you to go? <br /><br />Malcolm: My special class is having a family day, and if  that's not bad enough, <br />it's on the weekend that Francis is home. I'm going to look like a total idiot  <br />in front of him. <br /><br />Francis: Pretty bunnies. Pretty bunnies. <br /><br />Malcolm: Luckily, I've got a brilliant plan to get out of this. <br /><br />Lois: Oh, poor baby. <br /><br />Malcolm: Yeah, I'm sick. <br /><br />Lois: No, you're grounded for pouring perfectly good  <br />vegetable soup in the toilet. And you owe me 49  <br />cents. I don't understand why you don't want to go to this picnic,  <br />Malcolm. I think it sounds like fun. <br /><br />Hal: Yeah, sitting on the grass, eating barbecue. <br /><br />Malcolm: It's Krelboynes. It's not going to be ON the  <br />grass because half the class is allergic. And don't  <br />expect any meat either, because they all voted not to  <br />serve anything that ever had a mother. <br /><br />Dewey: Cousin Nancy doesn't have a mother. <br /><br />Lois: That's right. She has two daddies. <br /><br />Reese: Oh, man, two guys as your parents? That house has got to be a dude's paradise. <br /><br />Hal: You know, there are a lot of proven health benefits   <br />to the vegetarian lifestyle. In fact, I've been  <br />seriously considering it myself.<br /><br />Lois: It'll be nice to meet the other parents. I'm sure  <br />they're much better than those carnival freaks in Reese's  <br />class. What a horrible bunch of people. <br /><br />Hal: Amen to that. <br /><br />Francis: Well, this just sounds like a blast to me. Why do I have to go, again? <br /><br />Lois: Because it's a family picnic, Francis, <br />and you're a member of this family. <br /><br />Francis: Oh right, I just keep forgetting that, being forced  <br />to live a thousand miles away at military school and all. <br /><br /></span></p>
