I'm going to be a father. Don't you have anything to say to me?
AlOh. Sure. It's over. You're a dead man. Today is the first day of the end of your life.
So, where you headed, pal?
AlOh, I don't know. Some place where there's a lot of girls and no women.
Oh, L.A.!
Al sees man with head buried on bar
AlHey pal, you want to hear about a real jackass? See, I have this neighbor, Jefferson, who is a real doormat to his wife. Why just the other day he...
Man lifts up head to reveal himself as Jefferson
AlAUGH! Oh, I mean there are so many guys named Jefferson...
No worries Al, I am leaving Marcy.
AlReally?? How come?
It was the baby convention that did it. All those swollen bellies and screaming infants proved too much for me.
Waitress in a low-cut leotard is in bar, gaining men's attention
Beer! Candy! Forged backgrounds!
AlHow much would it be to get a background of a retired NFL player?
$200.
AlRats, too expensive! What can I get for $1?
The background of a shoe salesman from Illinois.
AlJust give me some gum. Waitress departs I do not need a forged background; I can invent my own. My new name will be...Al unwraps gum...Bazooka Joe!
Good one. I can reinvent myself as...Jefferson looks at beer can...Anheuser Busch!
AlThat's what's wrong with this country, Peg: every time something tears up, we call someone to fix it. Not like Grandpa Bundy. There was a fixin' man.
You mean Grandpa Hook?
AlWell, circular saws were new then. But he carved his own hook, he didn't call anybody!
It would have been hard for him to hold the phone with the one finger he had left on his other hand.
AlOne finger is all a real American needs, Peg.
Al actually succeeds at building his mancave. He hears knock on door
AlAh, must be that new wife I ordered from Ukraine.
Al is met by Jefferson
Marcy and I had a fight and she threw me out. Can I stay here?
AlWhen I built my own room; I meant it for me.
Please, Al?
AlAll right, one night. But tell no one.
Screen flips to a bunch of guys hanging out in Al's man cave
Dad, you got a minute?
AlFor you, Bud? Nah.
I'm not Bud! How many times do I have to tell you? When the hat is on, I'm Streetrapper Grandmaster B! When it's off, I'm Bud. Got it? Now, the hat is on. Who am I?
AlMommy's second little joke on me?
The Grandmaster is not amused. Now listen, Dad, I need twenty bucks for a pizza. But I need you to leave it on the coffee table so I can pretend to steal it in front of the girl. 'Cause, after all, I am an outlaw.
AlWell, I'm sorry, Grasshopper...
That's Grandmaster, you fool!
AlGas Passer, Bass Haster, what's the difference? All right, look, it looks like I'm gonna have to communicate with you in the language of the street. [cups his fist to his mouth, and "raps" out a beat] Yo, I'm broke!
The Grandmaster will not forget this.
[Jefferson is managing Kelly's pool-hustling; Al comes into the bar and sees him dressed like a pimp.]
Oh, hey, Al! Man, you should see your daughter hustle p...
[Al seizes Jefferson by the throat and slams him down onto the pool table.]
AlSay goodnight, Super Fly.
[comes back from the bathroom] Daddy, what are you doing here?
AlStand back, Pumpkin. He's about to pop and you don't want teeth and eyes all over you.
AlI saw those numbers just as plain as I see Bea Arthur's face on that TV.
That's Fidel Castro.
AlHow long was I out?
Six hours.
AlWhy didn't you call 911?
I couldn't remember the number.
AlKids, just one quick question and that's it. Is your mother...
Repulsed by you?
Disappointed financially and sexually by you?
AlNo. I don't care about that, you dolts. Is she pregnant? And Marcy?
Do you think he's crazy?
He must be. He didn't ask about you.
I want my money back. These shoes are as useless to me as a comb is to you. I've only worn them once, and they split at the sides.
AlLet me explain this. It's just like an elevator. There's a two-ton weight limit. What say I just nail the soles to your feet? It'll give you more traction when you're pulling the ice wagon.
You'll be hearing from my attorney!
AlIs that the law offices of Haagen and Dazs?
[reading "Sexual Intimacy" card] "If your lover was suddenly unable to perform..." [Al lowers head] "and was a shoe salesman, and named Al..."
AlGive me that. There's no way it could possibly say that. [reads the card and suddenly looks amazed] Oh, my God, it does!
"And an old lover came to town..." They must mean Jim. "Would you have a sleazy affair with him?" ... Yeah.
Come on, Al. Share with us what you care about.
(Al stands up)
Al"I Care," by Al Bundy
When hooters jiggle around
And I find nickels on the ground
I care.
When a Mustang engine purrs
And the bathroom is not hers
I care.
When the pitcher's on the mound
And the wife is underground
I care.
But when I've been playing this for days
I will kill
Anyone who stays
I swear
(Al sits back down and buries his face in his hands)
...And if you really want a scare
Check out his underwear
If you dare.
Dad...
AlGo away.
This isn't about money.
AlGo away anyway.
Dad, will you stop and listen to me.
AlAll right, what?
Me and Kelly want to throw a party this Saturday, the 30th. Can we? Please?
AlAbsolutely not. I have something very important planned for that day which requires total silence. I can't get too technical, but it involves your mother, our anniversary, and me making love to her 'til I shrivel up and die. Now, if you don't mind, I am going to walk blindly in traffic.
