Scenes with Alan 458

I left a $300 bra in the back seat of your Mercedes, and I want it back.

Oh, my. How in heaven's name did that happen, Mother?

Well, if you must know--

Alan

I don't need to know.

Oh, Alan, grow up. [to Charlie]: I sold a $12 million house and I wanted to celebrate.

With the Saudi prince?

Don't be ridiculous. He's got nine wives and they're all, like, eleven years old. No, I-- I was with the seller's realtor. Splitting that juicy commission made us both so hot, we barely made it off the front lawn. Now go get Mommy's bra.

A woman's much more relaxed and comfortable in her own surroundings. Plus, the minute she falls asleep, I can hit the bricks.

Alan

That's lovely. It's a shame you don't work for Hallmark.

Yeah, I'll bet those guys get laid like crazy.

Alan

Now, what year did Magellan circumnavigate the globe?

It's not gonna be on the test.

Alan

Maybe not, but it wouldn't hurt for you to know it anyway.

Why would I want to know something I don't have to?

Alan

Because maybe you'll need to know it in the future.

Well, then that's when I'll learn it!

Alan

Why can't you just learn it now?

'Cause there's only so much space in my brain that if you put Magellan in there, I might forget my locker combination.

[Jake is doing his homework]

Alan

What about this one?

That's extra credit. I don't have to do it.

Alan

But why don't you do it anyway.

Cause I don't have to.

Alan

But it shows you're willing to make an extra effort.

But I'm not.

Alan

Do it!

Why?

Alan

Jake, if you spent as much time doing the homework as you do arguing about it, we'd be done by now.

I am done, this is extra.

I have to tell you something.

Alan

OK.

Come on out in the bedroom.

Alan

All right. [leaves the bathroom; Charlie locks the door] What are you doing?

You'll understand in a minute.

Alan

Uh, uh, I thought you had to tell me something.

I do. There is no "Bad Alan". I'm the one who stole the Silly Putty and put it in your pocket when you weren't looking. Three, four, five, six, seven...

Alan [frantically knocking on the door]: DAMN YOU TO HELL! COME OUT HERE AND DIE LIKE A MAN!

What do you know? There is a "Bad Alan."

Hey, Dad, when you got arrested for shoplifting, did they take you to jail?

Alan

I did not get arrested, and there was no jail.

So I guess you never had to shank a guy to get your props in the yard.

Alan

You cracked the parental code on the cable box again, didn't you?

It's "1234." A monkey could crack that.

Alan

I-- I feel betrayed and-- and hurt in ways that... I can't even express! And-- and you think we can just dance past that?

I was hoping.

Alan

Well, I am sorry, but it is not that easy. Thanks to you, my-- my life has been twisted beyond recognition! I mean, look at me, Charlie! I'm a-- I'm a broke, hopelessly neurotic, middle-aged man who doesn't even know who he is or where he belongs! I have nothing, Charlie. No-- no wife, no home, nothing.

OK. So should I check back with you after lunch?

Remember how you were a bed wetter until you were 8?

Alan

Yeah?

You actually stopped at 6.

Alan

What, what? What did you do? Did you sneak into my room and-- and, and, and, and-- pour warm water on me while I was asleep?

Yeah, OK. Let's... say it was water, and let's say I poured it. [Alan ponders this for a moment then gives an aghast expression as he realizes what Charlie means. Charlie doesn't seem to notice.] Well, I feel better, how about you?

That's it, I can't work like this!

Alan

Well, you have to, Berta! We got fifty people coming here in a couple of hours.

Don't tell me, tell her.

Alan

Fine.

Berta [to Charlie]: Watch this.

[Alan tries to talk to Daisy, who is meditating outside on the deck]

DDaisy

HEY, I'M MEDITATING HERE!
