9. At the beginning of the episode, the boys are seemingly taking advantage of their neighbor. What is the last name of her neighbor? (also the first name of an American actor whose last name is Panettiere)
From Quiz 2.3 "Malcolm in the Middle" - "Lois' Birthday"
Answer:
Jansen
The episode opens with Malcolm saying that there are a lot of good things about weekends, such as watching cartoons and the fact that there is no school. The best part though, he says, is going to Mrs. Jansen's house. We soon learn why the three Wilkerson brothers are so eager to visit their neighbor: they appear to be taking advantage of her poor memory. First, they wear masks as if it was Halloween and say "trick or treat!", prompting the innocent lady to give them candy. Seconds later, they change their outfit and tell Mrs. Jansen that they have shovelled her walkway. Mrs. Jansen believes them and gets her purse so she can pay them. Malcolm admits these are condemnable actions, but that this is probably the only human contact Mrs. Jansen gets.
