This is the world. 196 million square miles.
6fabb7ad-4d6b-473e-bf8f-5928057a76ee.gif
If I covered 100 square miles an hour,
bed350e8-b2c4-4e7f-b8a3-a5750064672e.gif
every hour for the rest of my life,
6da4eceb-28de-43c0-923f-1ab407651008.gif
I'd still only see half of it.
636944dd-ef2c-4d09-ac88-2fe3a33265d4.gif
This is the left nostril of my brother Reese.
babf5a20-51ab-4dd5-baac-c08313a35786.gif
It squeaks all night long.

These are the freezing cold feet of my little brother, Dewey.
eb3300a0-441c-4f43-bab7-f50efcd02ce9.gif
This is my oldest brother Francis.
70cfddd6-b025-4356-98e4-f94f132be295.gif
He's the one I really like
3e9106cf-89d3-4cf5-acf6-b073d2fb5f53.gif
so, of course, he got sent to military school.
2aeff591-6e51-471b-a4fd-24f6eb40d464.gif
My name is Malcolm.

There's only two toaster waffles. One of you has to have cereal.
dfdd5812-8155-4f43-a950-0ca1c9a66d5d.gif
They do this every month.
05670cb9-fb0f-4af5-9239-18566b6cb7d8.gif
He has sensitive skin.
26c4c3d4-c685-4b83-9028-fdaebdee7465.gif
The hair gets itchy under his clothes.
a1d8963f-80b2-4a07-b54e-65ba175d9fad.gif
Dude.
ba98ae4e-7be8-4125-9549-283155612476.gif
Malcolm, you come right home from school.
7f2f6df4-02d3-4714-a9e9-1982c08feb06.gif
I made a play date with Stevie Kenarban, you have to bathe.
65c3f746-8283-46d5-83a7-077122d8190d.gif
What? Mom, no!
fec60d7e-58a2-4f2f-a360-383caf65e725.gif
- Malcolm has a play date? - Shut up, Reese!
173e6515-9a2a-427b-8478-b2924f57851c.gif
With Stevie "The Wheelie" Kenarban?
13e7e1d3-0619-4cee-b349-12d77f7fbf40.gif
Oh, man.
c70c98c5-2963-4eb4-9460-21f87cdf0dd9.gif
Why is playing a problem for you?
1d131a53-3ac9-4936-88d8-127ceabfd8ed.gif
First off, I don't even know Stevie.
ab50753a-2723-4a36-9b34-f9ebfbccc348.gif
I saw his mother at the store. She said you ate lunch together.
13b57bf0-2309-4b9b-9001-59e7ee068647.gif
One time.
5dcd37a6-2e5d-4205-b154-98fdaf901c3f.gif
He rolled his wheelchair over next to me. It's not like I couldn't say, "go away."
4947c7a1-ea7e-485b-ae86-cd19fbc306f7.gif
He's not even in my class.
8444d273-855b-48dd-8ecf-3be22706dd84.gif
He's in the Krelboyne class in the trailer next to tetherball.
4f69e1ce-a2f4-4677-9311-3b59127ccdb4.gif
You listen to me, young man.
2ffc2121-8cc9-450b-a438-0a720b90b76e.gif
That one lunch obviously meant a lot to Stevie.
5e1667d5-93a7-4d84-a42e-86beb2d285bc.gif
He's a human being with human feelings.
9795df14-86d7-436d-9f9f-70db0afdce57.gif
You'll be friends with that crippled boy and you are going to like it, understood?
a532574c-b014-4be7-b1a4-50943b242d50.gif
Yes, ma'am. Understood.
e7c248cf-a6cc-464e-ac7e-ac6dcf40e089.gif
If I give up now, I won't get the lecture.
f3f88225-af1a-4847-a89a-80c58ad47526.gif
- You kids... - Dang.
d1f96924-9a90-44ca-8ee9-4927e979254a.gif
You take your legs for granted. Like nothing could happen to them.
26507a0d-9cde-4c3a-a6ac-ddedb92a7c5e.gif
Well, let me tell you something. That is just wishful thinking.
d46f16c3-bbe4-4425-bb52-f14ef0593441.gif
There's meningitis. There are car accidents.
42e2da3c-c586-4792-aac4-67b8a78d8947.gif
I could be giving you a spanking and accidentally snap your spinal cord.
f0484752-8d7e-4a55-ba90-a8c2360c3ebd.gif
Every day is a lottery
2b5ea932-0292-4162-bad6-f2205f9b3e3f.gif
and first prize is you don't have to scoot yourself around town
63993283-a785-4b75-b879-e06c0f56e882.gif
on a skateboard with your hands. You think about that.
9d71cb8b-6b6b-42cf-857f-17cc43d10d31.gif
I don't take my legs for granted, Mom.
d8dc0b44-a006-4f11-8f92-5d94e594e8d6.gif
I know, honey, you're a good boy.
a2ab6416-f011-4f6b-8a87-66b9d74b5174.gif
Stop playing with yourself.
1cb950a2-1a0d-45dc-ba8f-a0e2f4f03b73.gif
- Stop pushing! - I'm not!
1a4100b4-e691-4bc1-8195-c906f3cf9728.gif
- Okay. - Just go.
f4530f07-4120-459d-8198-1baa8712b2e4.gif
- Shut up! - He's touching me!
e66c4f40-a624-4da2-9499-e9bdd8562cf0.gif
No, wait. Okay, I ran out of ham.
c1df851b-d0a4-4449-bd56-5615d8ce3958.gif
One of you has to have egg salad, okay?
5b45a75b-14d4-4f6d-a82a-85e42ca12150.gif
And don't ditch your little brother. I don't want him getting kidnapped.
0612e522-c896-4243-8978-e95839c533a7.gif
Yeah, Mom, that would be terrible.
8ae5565f-c115-492a-ab01-ca7b5600a505.gif
- It's your turn to walk with him. - I did yesterday and the day before.
7c9d2ab8-9897-44ff-984b-fe3a8971f713.gif
I walked with him when he wet his pants.
07e0fce4-9584-45f8-9588-dd8a1aa8c3e1.gif
Okay.
8a3722eb-e910-45b3-84f2-96ebdd16790f.gif
Mom said to hold hands.
5fd53919-9941-4c18-9f60-f5079e803a17.gif
She did not say to hold hands, Dewey.
03db810f-e6ec-4969-9f49-ed2f73f971a4.gif
I'm not holding hands.
c7669e62-7dd7-4b63-a279-a4c13ce621ec.gif
Come on, hold hands. Please?
f9708eef-7435-4daa-99a2-05fe5aa29d31.gif
No! You're in the first grade. You're too big for that.
509d1abb-86ff-401f-8546-ee2f4ff03561.gif
Look, I'm walking right next to you.
c1d16fb1-da51-49e5-9e60-01bc39e87715.gif
You'll be fine.
af4112b2-c609-4fa6-97c5-721265411b5d.gif
Damn it! This is why everyone teases you.
300b2a13-12a5-49c8-8668-3b9ff42c7686.gif
Hey, Malcolm.
21483ec1-d685-49e8-bada-d7d958395254.gif
Hey, Richard.
e58403dd-d3b7-4d6c-a908-4ea11bf99dcb.gif
So my mom was telling my dad last night about your brother.
8e16e56a-294f-4466-8085-a0f2a26911a3.gif
She said he's in jail.
27a56c6d-b1bc-4c78-8060-8eb2ae787cb6.gif
He's not in jail.
bf0e794e-a241-4291-a9fe-b0489fc16c10.gif
He's at Marlin Academy.
335b9ada-8936-4702-b114-6db0377baffd.gif
It's, like, one of the best private schools in the country.
b8de084f-ab4f-4e7b-9eaf-4c20a63d605f.gif
And it's totally unfair.
86dab596-1db1-415b-a0a5-3cd25d34fcbf.gif
Everyone acts like Francis is just this big troublemaker
e8b0c5b8-69e7-4929-a67d-83b9a22dd4d7.gif
and he's not.
1d5f22bc-b967-4524-b1ca-ae47b7829a63.gif
Dad, I know what you're going to say and believe me, I totally agree with you.
dc8c4c6b-92b7-462a-8c24-1dd8879a92de.gif
There is no excuse for what I did.
316dc09b-1e89-43d6-9abb-6eda60d13a7e.gif
It was idiotic, immature, totally reckless and I'm really sorry.
aa135da9-95ed-4a79-bed9-65fd56727fe5.gif
I'm just... I'm hoping against hope
a294a4ff-db33-403e-95ea-9c586f1ef237.gif
that you will give me another chance, which, I admit...
05551160-3525-47e8-91ec-2029d236da88.gif
I don't deserve.
a6573def-e81d-45d5-af2f-16879da0def0.gif
But if you could just find it in your heart to forgive me
18551a46-3d56-4f04-8cf9-dbed39465227.gif
I know I could earn your trust back.
368d4fd8-884b-4951-93ea-cba173536b23.gif
It's not like it was even our car!
25e228c2-8ceb-4528-ad2f-687175ec3e0b.gif
Spath, Spath, Spath!
ae6b97d9-9b05-45e6-89cd-f2ce07cefb06.gif
All right, here's how it works.
42b09ae3-a93e-4f06-a107-8cb7c8ce049c.gif
You can beg for mercy on your belly,
2ed4896b-18d1-48c3-9885-edd5446f8e4a.gif
lick the bottom of my shoes,
2a739661-a8f4-46c9-93d9-24ddac7ed6aa.gif
or take a beating.
433af513-7a83-4bc6-b15b-238353a77a37.gif
You must pick at least two
02ba8190-4162-43ba-a6f9-23a23ceb0cbd.gif
but, if you pick three
16ccf6ed-cfb0-4f23-af2a-615cf502230b.gif
you get a pass for the next two weeks.
dc0467a2-f048-445e-80b9-358d79ac9079.gif
All right?
4cf35312-b655-4668-baa2-445f28eee8ca.gif
Now, that's your best value.
5626eeb0-1a75-48b5-95a9-7657880b6c9e.gif
Dave Spath. He never gets sent anywhere.
5830b653-148a-4e11-b157-b8cf8a036182.gif
- What do you do if he catches you? - Roll in a ball.
a78d9fa0-bdea-4aa2-bf7a-ad96cb04ec7c.gif
- What if he starts kicking you? - Stay in a ball.
444b7e29-65c1-492e-ac4b-0e4be102eaee.gif
Okay.
4c9721f0-7216-4cab-b035-d43f58d13908.gif
Come on.
adc6b1b6-d936-4d73-afba-04ccf09821f6.gif
Wait.
f2f897da-5229-4062-bce2-7044b1a027e4.gif
Never mind.

may bring your work up here and start on your charcoal still lifes.
8bb9d175-4306-443b-b71a-20fd1e2e8cac.gif
You may take two pieces of fruit only and please be careful with them.
a0d561dd-01b2-4ecf-bd48-b363ca4cca16.gif
I bought them with my own money.
1db1be0d-4a1c-4164-a6e6-b2cec0153e8b.gif
My own money.
390b5255-291d-4205-9996-29e018d4dd24.gif
God, Malcolm, that's so good.
05c133e1-5c5e-49f0-8a11-d1bd6ee3b020.gif
Oh, Malcolm, this is wonderful.
399f8bd9-b8fe-498c-ba94-b6027ce47ec7.gif
The perspective is good. The composition is clean.
9d7c5bb7-f9c9-453b-b355-90d6343334cc.gif
And it even shows signs of actual technique.
6dbfa8dd-7375-4fe3-b9fb-cf638c471a95.gif
I have to say this is the high point of my day.
7d8ececf-ab82-42cf-ba04-9ce96942a003.gif
How's that for sad?
49f5b546-c812-4ec6-9e5d-2b9a7e0c51a0.gif
Are you okay?
765892f6-d1eb-48ab-b8f7-1bc189f2a93d.gif
Um, yeah, I'm fine.

12e9315a-c9e3-452b-ac5b-f85533b82231.gif
- Are you Malcolm? - Yes, and I didn't do anything.
228d7205-6483-4a7a-8786-87b46c84bfdc.gif
You're not in trouble, Malcolm.
9f3dc0ae-0d1e-4941-9e2f-0a27ba1390ae.gif
You're here because some of your teachers think you're...
21cbcbc4-bbd9-431c-902d-f040bf43c051.gif
Um, you know what? I just want to play some games with you.
8fef71dd-9efc-493e-ba42-5e956bf5db93.gif
- Okay? Puzzles, stuff like that. - Why?
86b61461-1110-4d8b-a88c-2566c57f93a1.gif
Boy, oh, boy, you are a suspicious little dickens, aren't you?

Okay. Now, you can look at this picture for 60 seconds.

Mom says...
0d6a0753-1421-4ffb-8fb5-1039a2fe7232.gif
TV makes you stupid.
ac95f7f9-e7b2-43e5-8136-de7c67099e1b.gif
No, TV makes you normal.
f94aee20-a87d-46d2-a75b-046053b28fe6.gif
How can they do that? He's in a wheelchair.
dca5e12d-0515-42d7-93db-87069481cdf0.gif
So, what do you do all day, homework?
1c4a4788-891a-449a-8f9c-d04868cb6965.gif
Mostly read comics.
4f7c38b0-b0d2-4472-a8e8-a61b156707b6.gif
You have comic books?
b19ef818-5a7c-46df-9bbe-3a8e1bb7c902.gif
Whoa!
61bc8f0e-ae03-469f-a09f-30c76b4e6aac.gif
You really have Youngblood number one?
ce1d423b-8879-41af-8e41-f3a9cf684a1e.gif
Want to read it?
61b303e1-37e9-4ab0-9d0a-2c3e3739853a.gif
No way. I'd wreck it.
dd87463c-b26f-4094-8d43-41d3886d961b.gif
Oh, did you read the last Savage Dragon when they split him in two?
707c3555-8b53-49ea-b06a-e3e2877a63f8.gif
Yeah. Brilliant.
48505671-e716-4269-8792-72e1c8e7a1e1.gif
I like how he never has to learn a lesson or anything.
e5ff8d7a-ae8d-4772-a770-30e93bcda63c.gif
He just gets to pound on everyone.
9f61576d-dd6c-4409-b815-25fc32bad115.gif
You're under galactic arrest.
d8edd505-f78c-44f1-b9f4-b8484ace2077.gif
Think again, space flatfoot.
934f9378-5aed-4ca1-89ac-c5d32a698021.gif
You cannot escape.
63455082-a879-4198-b442-01a2fa09bd67.gif
Saturday morning is the only thing my family does better than anyone else.
388a72d9-1a71-4a4c-8927-17f2998618ba.gif
Damn.
ab202162-87e8-40ae-934c-f967801cc199.gif
You boys, you keep this house clean till your dad comes home.
8e17499b-eaa6-4864-93ef-a9cd05f979c8.gif
Two of you can have slices of pizza for lunch.
0bcb1727-b421-4714-bf3a-807c5088bdb8.gif
The other one can have...
70f88fbd-0cd8-43e8-bc11-7e4d8b094bf1.gif
I don't know. I think they're peas.
c80dd5e2-008a-4afe-b162-f32b890c8d35.gif
Somebody get that!
ca76f342-09a7-4c97-b305-bd74e5e20118.gif
- Not it. - Not it.
7f108637-8c4c-40d0-b2a3-67e1a1137b51.gif
Hello.
ccf1e9cd-d161-4366-9d53-902385e71c89.gif
Young master Malcolm.
1e349ecb-ba79-4c16-82d7-67bcd8010456.gif
Francis, hi.
61e7c4ef-86f8-4f02-ae15-a1206a074907.gif
Hey, man, I wrote you guys a really long letter yesterday,
dd661e7c-66d6-41aa-988b-1e1ecb4966f3.gif
but they only gave me three minutes,
8610e564-902c-4b8f-8554-c236999f7c1c.gif
so would you put the special prosecutor on?
5b0e5641-a146-4e86-81c6-bddd6ed525df.gif
Mom, it's Francis!
3427de28-e221-48c8-bdc9-61faa57de657.gif
Hey, Francis, how's school?
59f7da58-d1aa-4163-8761-85f7f4a90976.gif
Oh, couldn't be better, Mom.
d40ffde5-b59d-49a0-a071-75e18dbf3ee8.gif
My new roommate showed me how to kill mice with a hammer yesterday,
fca89fd4-2ffb-4ed9-8cfe-3ab26c4d93e3.gif
so, you know, between that and the general atmosphere
3bf0f079-6f55-438c-aee7-38f955868da0.gif
of simmering homoeroticism,
ce2dfb82-78cb-418a-83ce-c1ae8db1927b.gif
I think I'm really starting to turn around.
c356ceda-50e0-427a-acfc-c0f8c5a1cea0.gif
Honey, it's only until summer.
1355a61e-2c57-46ce-9031-c179ced8b5a5.gif
Come on, push it!
771fb7a1-9eb5-4de2-8091-f4f2498d4a64.gif
Give it up, prom date.
abc0b862-5b76-4c30-81be-3ed51edf456a.gif
Yeah, listen, um, I know I shouldn't ask,
bcc73785-f793-43de-90d6-780264fdbb08.gif
but would you be able to send me my allowance,
ceab6317-51fe-4f1f-b894-eca315c14896.gif
like, a couple weeks early.
26807ffb-16ba-46d4-9089-b65e3f7ed237.gif
- Because I kind of need some-- - Oh, my God. Are you smoking?
f86fba41-7a4f-4cc4-b48c-e58b8c99f857.gif
- What? - I can hear you smoking.
33a6bf4a-0c2e-4428-92df-7da40cd312e9.gif
- You're smoking, aren't you? - Mom, I'm not smoking. Geez.
6eb232d9-b9ab-4bd3-973d-467e5c420608.gif
After seeing the anguish your father and I went through to quit,
8520bb53-ec57-45a0-b576-90933c13fe34.gif
didn't any of that register with you?
056d2f87-4f5e-4262-b208-a76e94901035.gif
Okay, listen. Uh...
95386ad3-520b-42ad-bb73-3cfefde21c50.gif
I'll talk to your dad.
b61f5f78-68af-4357-a130-2fdc54bcef4a.gif
Maybe we can send you part of it.
b921ddb0-0255-47ce-babe-4826ae717085.gif
Honey, I have to go. I'm late for work.
8ab10b67-b062-4c5f-94ef-ea17343e1bd7.gif
I'll call you later.
9a0dcfa0-af51-43c8-a032-f0ffb2cf9bb6.gif
Okay, thanks, Mom. I love you.
c2292644-28be-4ceb-b8b1-aa50ebd20b35.gif
Oh, I love you.
86059e63-f416-4e08-bc15-ed3fb153b25e.gif
- Somebody get the door! - You get it, butt-munch.
314b909c-7599-4d5e-a883-0ca81be0a55d.gif
- Shut up. - Shut up.
11834867-c99e-4cfe-8914-67e8632a08a2.gif
- No, you shut up. - Make me!
28004807-69e4-48f7-8feb-b81d1e1a52a5.gif
I'll make you right now!
b2b9d24c-4cc0-4a1f-af7c-6809b1a38a83.gif
You'd better not be fighting in there, Reese, Malcolm.
764e9cba-433c-401d-8558-f67d5f0cfd03.gif
Not my face!
4d554238-dd86-4071-9d9e-aa23d158d86e.gif
I said you'd better not be fighting--
1734a91d-4ef0-4d8c-bcc3-5e3d07ccc3b5.gif
For crying out loud. Reese! Malcolm!
49aab7de-ca36-4f1a-a197-1b43d92c66d8.gif
Yes. Can I help you?
1a2b4de8-f7ab-4d9f-bef0-ff37ccdd40f1.gif
Oh, my good-- Um, Hi.
752f5f95-0db0-4e6e-9948-7734116b156d.gif
Hello. I'm-- Are you--?
1197e996-3e8b-4355-9c5c-2e53df2de712.gif
I'm Caroline Miller from Malcolm's school.
f32e8595-7687-4d85-b5a0-242564707977.gif
I sent you some letters
71a73a88-1048-43b8-b28f-e4f9b5521c27.gif
and left some messages on your answering machine.
f11bdf8a-7773-4589-bca2-09a643a37097.gif
Okay. You caught me. What do you want?
d60b2fc0-0e92-4e8f-bc4d-b7027f5236f0.gif
Um, well, it's been three weeks and you haven't responded,
3c87c777-1050-4b8b-a9f0-487a0319ee41.gif
and it's really important,
500afe77-d32c-4ef2-91a0-1fb279193db0.gif
I mean, well, for Malcolm's sake that the parents be as involved in--
d2c04b36-aaa5-4255-8747-bec599b00e46.gif
So you're here to insult my parenting skills?
6fa6870e-95fa-4f5a-9dda-2fdce3ae6427.gif
No. I'm sure you're a terrific parent.
ae861d70-8596-47db-ba8a-cf0ea168ef3f.gif
Who's the baby now? Who's the baby now?
cd75953f-dd45-41ab-b325-9c52bfc15071.gif
I'm here because I think that there is a tremendous opportunity for--
4a58ce98-97c6-46e5-a247-b6d06745262c.gif
Could you, you know, maybe put a top on?
3b656047-939d-4243-8e21-7465242183c2.gif
They're just boobs.
7ec12882-efda-4582-a5bc-b37e06e80730.gif
You see them in a mirror every morning. I'm sure yours are a lot nicer.
a471f4f4-1c9e-4385-9484-19c8a821d8fd.gif
- That's actually not-- - I'll tell you something else.
80362adf-368e-46aa-95fa-8ee3ad3741db.gif
The reason I didn't respond
9d2b5058-9d86-4587-83f4-efef0764dbeb.gif
- is because it is a load of crap. - What?
fb462248-b2d6-47b6-a924-4106daaca7e7.gif
You are not gonna stick my Malcolm in some special ed class.
59280245-c25d-44ac-8716-5e2056bfe5d8.gif
- What is it with you all? - But--
fb6bdfac-588f-4c93-bca8-fda30b26d9e4.gif
Why do you have to label everybody?
5a70dd2c-ab5e-4768-8975-de608f278eec.gif
Malcolm may be a little strange, and, I know, he never shuts up.
221ceb4b-d87c-4908-a595-f30b935f1bed.gif
- But he is not disturbed. - Yeah.
328bfede-0da2-419b-b956-225512c8b259.gif
- You know, he is a good boy-- - Please!
3cc631e8-68f3-46b8-b76f-6eb20acb42a6.gif
You know what? You don't understand at all, okay?
4acfc4fc-6cd1-4cd8-8ce1-2112cb7f991c.gif
So if I could just come in for a minute, I could explain everything, okay?
ccc1d050-d2f5-4f02-b780-abaf23dc2135.gif
Ow! Ow! Ow!
ec20c1a5-5d22-435c-a4da-2c64ce8a4a7c.gif
It's good, hon.
3c08361a-de42-4941-ad4f-19b1ff8b7944.gif
Wait, wait, wait. There's something we have to talk about.
38886323-07f6-46d2-9ad3-c7e9bea6519c.gif
I thought we weren't mentioning Aunt Helen till after the biopsy.
4b0d35e3-6d28-4d42-a677-cdfc2f94ed4c.gif
- It's not that. It's about Malcolm. - I didn't do it.
087fe917-4db0-4b93-84bd-e3f84723ae8f.gif
Yes, he did. I saw him.
cfc98c18-4430-4465-b9b4-cf62d802fa16.gif
A teacher from school came by and she ran some tests with Malcolm.
5cedeee5-38c5-47e8-b94f-d7022f3d1cbc.gif
He has an IQ of 165.
97dcc276-7b51-4136-a183-d5dc6d3ca711.gif
- Who? - Malcolm. He's a genius.
773229e2-6393-4192-9a8c-2810cb50762e.gif
- He's going to a special class. - What?
6b4dc824-d42d-45d0-93ea-b8345c9a3db9.gif
Malcolm's special? Where do you think that came from?
907b9afb-5d29-4210-b474-2b5e10ebd389.gif
There's a special program for gifted children.
03f08b8a-e0b5-444d-8195-80113d6438b1.gif
They have advanced textbooks, devoted teachers,
26091469-20f6-4378-b62c-ab9f7a51dc33.gif
all sorts of good things they don't waste on normal kids.
bbd3f3fa-bff0-47c8-8ffc-9c85f521ab82.gif
You start on Monday.
e717c0b0-3dcc-4c03-be64-20cc77ac1625.gif
- You're putting him in Krelboyne class? - Mom, no! I don't want to!
654b0177-d77f-4369-9581-03280ea06a7a.gif
What are you talking about?
6a88a520-fcb3-49e3-886b-0eae6630651d.gif
Of course you want to.
0e994a3f-6c14-4bee-8756-77d8613c8b38.gif
No. I want to stay in my own class.
befc7c8d-b925-46ce-8e18-f7fd0f539b79.gif
I don't want to be a Krelboyne.
e9199fd5-d433-40ec-a050-85efac1b4b59.gif
Mom, seriously, Krelboynes get their butts kicked.
11fe3a8b-803c-46b1-bf4e-a21f06520e91.gif
Just stop one minute.
b3bfd06f-e755-4b5b-b237-76a62e824bf5.gif
There's nothing wrong with being smart.
442558b0-d704-42e4-b061-4350ef44829e.gif
And there's nothing wrong with being cut from the herd.
bb50b736-0341-47ed-ba1e-54ae5c1ab3ff.gif
It makes you the one buffalo not there
fc7cd1f4-15a8-4bfa-89e7-e9bf68102439.gif
when the Indians run the rest of them off the cliff.
80da0225-fe3a-4291-bd74-2b27a1cc1afa.gif
Huh? Mom, this isn't fair!
cf8a7f7c-916a-4655-8ca3-12eb025b9b9e.gif
If I don't want to go, why do I have to?
4112d033-bf5b-4340-adfd-1864799a6a38.gif
Because it's not just up to you. We have to do what's best for you.
427e2925-e21b-4d90-9360-1c2787fc386b.gif
Mom, please! Don't make me go!
d35be095-75a0-4b30-9f47-a9d35e183917.gif
- Please! - Malcolm, calm down.
28d614ba-da72-48df-8af6-165a0dc71718.gif
- But it isn't fair! - That's right!
f6ad8efe-a3dc-4925-b301-6173a3733f0e.gif
It isn't fair.
02a7372f-86b0-46d8-99c4-b1ddf88088ef.gif
It's the first time anyone in this family has been given an edge,
7ba38f85-80d9-4e2a-bcf8-6b016d9b7319.gif
and you're not going to waste it.
4cbf2636-5b03-4fd1-84d8-7ae1735a9ab9.gif
- Dad? - Honey?
d820b0c3-424b-4e31-bfa0-993d8a8d7a22.gif
Well...
c36853fa-2ad1-4949-8773-2d80f25adaf7.gif
Look, honey...
d567403d-6f86-4cff-b173-b6065a9e7d13.gif
Malcolm...
c54a029a-434d-431b-9721-924eccf441b2.gif
You see...
f8ca09fa-a186-4798-b461-41b6ee3b858f.gif
Oh, for crying out loud.
7ed4cea6-1675-4037-b042-c765f0589056.gif
How come there's never any iced tea in this pitcher?
431e1696-b025-40d3-8d4c-37051a11fb9f.gif
I make a fresh batch every morning, it's gone by the time I get home.
afe4fa36-f75d-4bb8-8212-1580bcf1fd39.gif
I want a better family.
df7f2ec6-3d10-4883-b62e-612845169cb3.gif
Malcolm.
8a08297a-db22-4223-8b90-3a77644b340d.gif
Look at that. Gone.
43422de7-52e8-446f-9cf4-68f62e09bd2a.gif
I don't want to go to a special class.
94804bb6-ec5d-4ab5-87a2-f24c338829ca.gif
- People think I'm weird enough already. - I know.
7409a910-095e-4121-9fae-6b5f007fdcda.gif
I like where I am. I want to stay.
a056682c-660e-4b64-a615-9f179f1d07c7.gif
Sweetie, life does not give you a lot of chances to move up,
07581915-5643-42c5-9621-c4dd0ed04bba.gif
even if you deserve it.
f08dc358-361d-49a0-ad08-bea4d5c7b07f.gif
Look at your dad and me.
6abafaab-018d-4337-a76d-5eae7821c97d.gif
Malcolm, I'm proud of you.
b404f24f-972a-4ea3-8f4e-44112778769c.gif
You boys are so lucky.
e396a66e-fb78-4492-86d5-f93a2be2f4c8.gif
You have so many gifts that other kids don't have.
1bdea005-68ef-4dcf-a45a-ea841c8066a7.gif
And I just don't mean Stevie Kenarban, either.
9802b72f-63de-4f5b-9234-3a6d557c5f0b.gif
I mean, look at those Parker boys across the street.
e6b44169-9e00-4752-bbde-c26b6c16a926.gif
They may be healthy but they're the ugliest little boys ever born.
197b6c0e-2e5c-43c8-a9f3-a061ae89848d.gif
They look like boiled beets, don't you think?
1e3fdfcd-b1d3-497b-8c6f-9b0c848710cb.gif
And those Henderson kids...
b6388e50-172f-4106-ab88-204053443605.gif
That electrocuted their dog while trying to get free cable.
f21725b2-3ecc-4073-b302-57c2fde5dd76.gif
How smart can they be?
20391b07-a492-4371-a043-9eb18097f314.gif
Just remember,
b9c98a96-8147-4ddc-89b9-ad509ec5bc95.gif
any kid who makes fun of you is a creepy little loser
a623d486-fa18-40f0-9971-f95ac603f4b9.gif
who'll end up working in a car wash.
19f87dbd-9909-4477-8ba8-e85e3e602589.gif
This shouldn't make me feel better, but it does.
a6270ba7-a7fb-49f8-87cc-675219a39834.gif
You'll be all right, sweetie.
db554a52-5b18-4c7c-a510-510a7ba060c2.gif
If you don't make a big deal out of this, nobody else will either.
f4986d1e-ec5e-4a2b-bdb4-cd4baa062379.gif
And I just can't say enough
51a66ce3-8e9d-47d1-b275-b34a16137941.gif
about how proud we should all be of Malcolm

for getting into the gifted program.

Now, Malcolm may not look different than the rest of us,
dd7367fa-02d9-4280-bd1c-a947b844f1b3.gif
but he is.
5ae1cf1f-cdfd-42f6-9250-dfb85b1ab812.gif
Very different.
fbe84098-4c2a-41c1-8296-4a58d6505018.gif
In his brain.
58d31ece-d7d7-47ed-a1f9-188785495953.gif
And I think we should recognize him for that.
f05c8f1e-af97-4a29-8b46-077504aea469.gif
Bye.
15ccee9a-37f3-417d-bc05-216320f3a4bd.gif
Alrighty, today we are starting a new section
fdef7e94-4bc7-420c-8f12-56b749e921a8.gif
on the Peloponnesian War, which I know you are all going to love.
2cc158e6-39c2-40a4-a4da-28c6bab46cbe.gif
Malcolm?
b547cd22-3f17-4901-b1f6-df3a31149cf8.gif
Are you okay?
e01ffcfc-e939-4134-8dbc-d5afa4111ae0.gif
Uh, yeah. Fine.
0e7906ec-06c5-4a13-952a-2178e65b4a47.gif
All right. Excuse me.
fd09c6ae-b122-4040-acb2-8d2dd96adf53.gif
Stop staring at me!
e1774065-da1e-4139-a986-2e9b2a6f2f88.gif
Why do they keep doing that?
f03d23dd-9c5b-4375-923d-71a02694a5a8.gif
- You're new. - Oh, great.
c81470c8-0b95-4a2d-ae15-ec6bfc8c0eb9.gif
So I'm the freak of the freak show?
4eec028c-2ddf-4ad3-a650-ca34e5cd4da7.gif
Just chill out.
32495216-6af1-4055-b8e0-4ceea5490592.gif
Don't tell me to chill out. You chill out.
76775d29-7c1c-49c1-9e85-1a29f077fd31.gif
Nobody can live like this.
852977cd-feaf-495b-a3ca-5cd801f913e5.gif
- I'm okay. - Oh, sure.
6ac92280-a8da-43af-97b4-ab516d9508d7.gif
You're okay because it doesn't make any difference to you.
c93a877c-0a91-492a-ada8-b37b8ec155d7.gif
You've always been a freak.
d57c0b85-eabc-4c27-8db3-a23b5567d634.gif
I used to be normal.
d7e549fc-8a59-4fc3-9340-1193c8d878c4.gif
Wait. Who just said that?
19e05081-199c-4511-9b77-dec1c27ad1f0.gif
You're going to take that the wrong way, aren't you?
24146adc-0d58-4116-8099-d2cea04014c8.gif
You...
176e05ff-47a7-4d1e-9aac-68efeecf6621.gif
suck.
9bdc10c4-6cfe-41fa-a688-ce435f4500fd.gif
It's so cool.
86abe1ba-50c9-44e3-bd1a-9e809322d9fe.gif
Around here, being smart is exactly like being radioactive.
9a2ee7cc-acd2-475d-b5fd-220313d1ebe3.gif
I can't believe I'm doing this.
4ee04f62-114a-4d03-9321-b2d86104c319.gif
Stevie?
dc7b0e09-7bd1-4c5c-8acc-3f9d594a8d6a.gif
What?
a9df68d1-0598-4ec5-87a7-acf3db59c33f.gif
Look, I...
46540824-ebf2-4d57-a5f7-409ad0b7b6a9.gif
Score.
47e0ffb1-4beb-4547-9f48-d469126b7123.gif
Hey, Spath! Why don't you stop being such a butt-wipe!
53f39645-0dd9-4e29-b62b-6621303ceb7f.gif
What'd you call me?
80bd989c-de3a-4fd8-b026-e0c3874c11a0.gif
You heard me! I don't care anymore! I just don't care, Spath, okay?
89f76664-dc5d-4065-b4af-8df82d544ae7.gif
All's you ever do is make everybody miserable.
4612163c-a5b0-4ef7-b996-fa071dad2118.gif
Except for your little monkey-slaves over there.
8b2b1064-06a6-4547-9f65-feeea5bd49b7.gif
Who, by the way, only pretend to like you.
57608084-2f26-498c-925e-8f5dc344b2eb.gif
They hate you as much as everyone else does.
8278e8ea-2b4c-443f-a2c5-ffd450eadfa9.gif
And you're just too busy being mean and stupid to ever figure it out!
2e92f329-9d2e-43a4-bd73-a4514de6c763.gif
I keep trying to run, but my legs won't work.
9f959228-82b2-422e-9310-6308ca43bb25.gif
Mom was right, they are important.
d458c967-4249-49c6-b3b8-e36586b8bcfa.gif
Wow.
61bb897a-693e-4900-8127-993fcf1dc1f1.gif
I don't know about you, but the Krelboyne really hurt my feelings.
f13284cb-5b7f-40a9-82a7-154bbd3335ff.gif
- Hey. - Go away, Stevie.
b5f79ee3-e87d-4a7e-8ea1-2f5111f3f47b.gif
It's good you two are friends.
981d285f-2c11-494b-ac39-55b80a838cbd.gif
He won't mind sharing his wheelchair.
3c89fbf4-3720-439e-958c-4d5cb90a1caa.gif
Okay, this is where something good happens, finally.
0ef67a76-9382-441a-b657-ad5c8948ee05.gif
So we're going to slow down and make it last as long as possible.

I didn't mean to-- I wasn't trying--
084a8165-d3b1-463e-8193-c8bab5625b2e.gif
Stevie, I'm sorry.
6a0ba7d9-d3ea-4143-b858-7341786d72dd.gif
What's your problem?
2e488aeb-1c34-4a66-b496-36b2d6979582.gif
I mean, he's in a wheelchair and he has glasses.

So then, the principal comes out and everyone's all talking at once.
5736fb58-db28-4b15-abcc-453799bb9163.gif
So the story he puts together is Spath attacks Stevie for his lunch,
c23a124a-0d0b-45b5-a63e-fb56790a3495.gif
and I'm like this hero that stepped in to defend him.
2fb59e12-24d4-4147-8f3a-681dfbc6dead.gif
It was beautiful.
4b345985-970c-468f-b9c8-a2b720aff2d4.gif
Okay, it wasn't funny when Spath started crying.
c823ceaa-9e91-46ba-9cf9-49317945caa0.gif
No, wait, it was.
c7bc6040-b0c3-48aa-afbd-1607eef3d85d.gif
Dad's hair.
57ddea7e-6926-4d79-bcec-ec95e01d395f.gif
Ugh. Yeah, I know.
8d053714-0e69-45a9-b26e-4ca818afccc6.gif
It's gross.
46ebeb53-b920-4a46-9a53-6b44754aaddf.gif
But, hey, if a bunch of birds can make the best out of what they get,
d28349ed-726b-4b56-9193-8d605391e89d.gif
- then so can I. - Malcolm?
3fb5c378-4917-4e7b-b50d-1be9e982ce60.gif
Like having to go to special class.
007f583a-7dcf-47b9-943b-5bc3246585d3.gif
I can make it work out, right?
458ddb9f-2b22-4ea1-8f85-e7a9a6c3aea9.gif
- Malcolm? - Not now!
3e34d39d-792d-442d-964b-a8f398ffa894.gif
Or my family.
44247af9-bcca-4fda-bfd6-4f3393306ee1.gif
We're not the greatest family in the world,
97d774dd-7c78-4745-882b-a183c6206f9f.gif
but we can get better.
781722f0-c2a6-44ca-ad29-669c1646ca1f.gif
I mean, it's not impossible.
de459bb9-0839-4f28-861f-e677878af055.gif
- Malcolm? - What?
3437141b-3d96-44ec-b6b9-a0ba25a1e4dd.gif
- Can I get out? - No. Stop asking.
e5eddc69-6e1c-4ef2-baa9-06c33a3a3388.gif
So, basically,
f74696cc-565c-4429-9643-a63a67e6ebc3.gif
- I think everything's going to be okay. - A bug went up my nose.
