Malcolm in the Middle Quote
Malcolm: [Talking to Francis on the phone] Then she slipped into the trash and ran off. I swear this whole family is flling apart.
Francis: [elated] Yes. I knew this moment would come. They don't have their scapegoat around, so everything goes to hell. No one realises that I'm the one who held this family together. Without me to blame everything on, they don't know what to do with themselves.
Malcolm: A scapegoat, thanks. [hangs up and faces the audience] He's right, this family needs a scapegoat. I started this, so I should be the one to end it.
