The Beach: Part 1
The setting: A clear, beautiful morning at the beach. A beat-up station wagon pulls up. Reese, Malcolm, and Dewey get out of the car.
Lois: Now you boys better be good! Malcolm, you're in charge.
Reese: But I'm the oldest!
Malcolm: And I'm the smartest.
Reese: True.
Lois: Even though we're not able to be here to watch you, don't think you can get away with anything, because Dewey will tell us everything that happens. Have fun! I know I won't.
Hal: Come on, Lois, it won't be so bad. My mother really does like you……deep down…..very, very deep down inside her.
Lois: We'll be back to pick you up at 6 sharp. Don't be late, and don't even think about getting into trouble!
Reese: Boy, I thought they'd never leave! Oh well, at least now we can have some real fun!
Malcolm: What are you going to do?
Reese: What I always do, of course. Look for nerds so that I can beat them up. What are you gonna do?
Malcolm: Work on my tan. Julie Hoolerman likes guys with a really good tan. What are you going to do, Dewey? Dewey?
Dewey is nowhere to be found.
Malcolm: Good going Reese, you lost him!
Reese: No I didn't! You're in charge, you lost him!
Reese and Malcolm continue to fight, while Dewey roams around the beach. He runs over people's stomachs and through people's lunches. He keeps wreaking havoc until he spots a piece of dark gray cardboard, and a gigantic rubber band. This gives him an idea.
Meanwhile………. Hal rings the doorbell at a small, white house. The door opens, and a frail old lady (Hal's mother, Barbara) steps out carrying a small white poodle.
Hal: Hi Mom! How are you?
Barbara: Not horrible, considering I'm all alone. Well, I have my Snowy here (she points to the dog) but it's not same as when your father was alive.
Lois: Hi Barbara. I'm so sorry about Hal's father passing away.
Barbara: What do you care, Lois Common Denominator?
Lois: I care very much!
Barbara: Oh, that's what they all say. Come in, Hal, darling, come in.
Lois catches the door before it swings shut in her face.
Lois: It's going to be a looooong day!
Back at the beach, things are going great. Except that Dewey is still missing, but Reese and Malcolm have forgotten all about him.
Reese: Wow, Malcolm, check it out!
Malcolm: What is it?
Reese: That girl! Isn't she hot?
Malcolm: Yeah, she sure is!
Reese: I'm gonna go talk to her!
Malcolm: You think you actually have a chance with that girl? She is SO out of your league!
Reese ignores him, and runs off to talk to the pretty girl sitting a few yards away.
Malcolm: What an idiot!
Malcolm looks off into the distance, thinking about how calm and peaceful it is. Suddenly, he sees an unwelcome sight. Unfortunately, the sight spots him as well, and rushes over to talk.
Malcolm: Noooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
