Scenes with Alan 458

[Alan just bought a new Porsche, which Charlie is unimpressed with]

Alan

It is not a chick car! The-- the salesman showed me brochures with pictures of men driving it.

Alan, if a monkey walked into the dealership, he'd have been shown pictures of monkeys driving it.

Alan

Monkeys can't drive a stick.

Alan

The first thousand miles is the break-in period. You're not supposed to go over 65.

Well, then go 65.

Alan

The speed limit is 60! You want me to get a ticket?

Alan, you're driving an expensive red sports car. If you're not getting tickets and tail you might as well take the bus... which, by the way, just passed us.

Oh, come on, he's [Jake] not in any real danger.

Alan

Not physically, but you know as well as I do that Mom has the ability to say things that... stick with you.

Yeah. Forever and ever. My favorite was, "They must have mixed you up with another baby 'cause I could never have given birth to such a hateful child." Who writes that on a fifth grader's birthday card?

Alan

Oh, how about, "It's no wonder your father doesn't come home from work. If I could get out of here, I would, too."

Did I ever tell you about the time I wrote my first jingle for a national commercial? Pepsi. I invited Mom over to watch the prime-time network debut. For thirty seconds, 20 million people were listening to my music, and then at the end, Mom turned to me and said, "You couldn't get Coke to hire you?"

Alan

Nice, but I can top it.

Go.

Alan

It's the day of my wedding, right? And she's sitting there crying and I think it's because she's happy. Turns out it was, and I quote, "so relieved you finally found someone who could love you."

We gotta go get Jake.

[after Jake's time with Evelyn]

Do you realize that in one night, he did what we couldn't do in a lifetime?

Alan

He broke her.

Chewed her up and spit her out.

Alan

It was a beautiful thing.

I'm gonna be truthful here, Alan. I always thought your kid was a little bit of a simpleton.

Alan

Me, too.

But clearly, he is the chosen one.

Hey, guys, check it out: [high-pitched voice]: Pull my finger. [lower voice]: OK. [pulls his finger and farts]

Alan

And they shall call him Jake.

I'm warning you, Alan, things had better change around here or there will be serious consequences. Legal consequences! Got it?

Alan

Got it.

Good-bye. [leaves; Alan shuts the door]

Alan [mocking Judith]: "There will be serious consequences. Legal consequences."

Charlie [also mocking Judith]: "I don't care what you do during the week, but on the weekends, you're a role model."

Alan [same mocking voice]: I enjoy talking this way.

Charlie [same mocking voice]: As do I.

Alan

[to Berta] Charlie...

[interrupting Alan] Got it.

Alan

Get it? How can you get it?

Well, there's a Roles Royce in the drive way, [pull out silk leggings] and I found this hanging on the mailbox, so I'm guessing that your brother has some bimbo upstairs and Norman here is her daddy or her sugar daddy.

[Alan is lying on the couch after falling off the ladder]

Alan

Do me a favor and call Judith and tell her not to bring Jake over.

How come?

Alan

Look at me, Charlie! I have abrasions, contusions, a severely sprained neck, two fractured fingers, and I'm hopped up on pain pills. Does that spell "weekend dad" to you?

Well, actually, to me it spells "weekend in Bangkok with two Olympic gymnasts". But that's a whole other story.

[after Evelyn introduced the still-injured Alan to Mona]

MMona

What happened to you?

Alan

I was fixing a satellite dish and I fell off the roof.

MMona

Well, why didn't you just call the guy?

Alan

You wanna know why I didn't call the guy? I'll tell you why I didn't call the guy. BECAUSE YOU DON'T NEED TO CALL THE GUY! It's a simple adjustment that any idiot can do, and yes, I know this idiot fell off the roof, but it was after I fixed it all by myself, NO GUY!

[Alan shows Charlie the drawing that got Jake kicked out of school]

Alan

The girl went home in tears, her mother is on the warpath, and Jake could get expelled.

For a silly drawing?

Alan

It's considered sexual harassment. The school has a zero-tolerance policy.

Oh, for the good old days, when you could wander into a girls' locker room pretending you were blind.

Alan

You actually did that? That's horrible!

No, the horrible part was stealing the dog from the blind kid.

Alan

Well, unfortunately, times have changed, and we no longer live in a Porky's movie.

Alan

I just have to accept the fact that I-- I can't count on anyone, least of all an emotionally immature narcissist who thinks that the sun rises out of his navel and sets in his scrotum, and only cares about what lies between the two.

OK, I'm no expert, but that sounds a lot like grinding.

[at Alan's chiropractic office]

So this is where you come every day, huh?

Alan

Yep, for eleven years. What do you think?

I would have killed myself ten and a half years ago.

Alan

OK, now all you have to do is sit here, and when the phone rings, pick it up and say, "Dr. Harper's office."

So right off the bat, I lie?

Alan

I am a doctor, Charlie.

Yeah, and I'm king of the traffic doughnuts.

Alan

OK, OK, I had hoped that we could have a spirited exchange of ideas here, but if we are going to just degenerate into name calling, perhaps we should wait for the principal to decide what a reasonable punishment for my son would be.

MMindy

[Barbara Schmidt's busty mother] Fine. We'll let the principal decide.

[The principal, another large-breasted woman, enters the hall from her office]

PPrincipal

I'm Principal Gallagher.

Alan

[defeated] Oh, God, my boy's going to get the chair.
