Look, don't worry, you'll grow into it.
Jake
Why couldn't I get clothes that fit now?
Yeah, well, quit going through puberty and we'll talk about it.
Jake
Quit been so cheap and we'll talk about it! [leaves]
Hey, hey, watch your mouth!
Hard to punish him for telling the truth.
[Charlie turns off the TV]
That's it, what do you think?
Alan [after staring in disbelief]: I'm going back to bed.
Charlie [to Jake]: What about you?
Jake
You couldn't have TiVo'd this?
Hey, Charlie Waffles may love kids, but he's getting pretty sick of you!
So, uh, how was school this week?
Jake
OK.
Anything noteworthy happen?
Jake
No.
I thought you said he got dumped!
Jake, sooner or later every guy gets dumped.
Some guys get dumped sooner and later, right, Alan? [Alan stares at him] Sorry, I should have eased into that.
Hey, honey, how's it going?
Jake
Great. Uncle Charlie's a genius!
Good, good. [to Alan] You said you talked to him.
Then why is Uncle Charlie a genius?
'Cause he never got married. [slams door in Judith's face] Oh, that's gonna come back to bite me in the ass. [he hears a knock on the door] And here it comes, jaws-a-snappin'. All right, I'm sorry! [he opens the door, but Gabrielle is there instead]
GGabrielle
Why are you sorry?
I just find it's easier that way.
[Charlie is watching a boxing match with Jake, who is unimpressed]
Jake
Boxing sucks.
As always, you're entitledto your stupid opinion.
Jake
Why are you making it personal? I didn't make it personal. In ultimate fighting, they kick, they elbow, they get a guy down and smash his head on the floor. These guys just dance around and barely hit each other.
OK, OK, listen to me. Boxing is a science. Boxers don't just wail on each other. They strategize, feel each other out, wait for an opening.
Jake
Gay. What's with the little pillows on their hands? Even if they hit each other,it wouldn't hurt. (Charlie hits Jake in the arm with a pillow) Ow!
Jake
Yeah.

Jake
Uncle Charlie hit me.
I'll... I'll tell you later.
Jake
Tell him now. I got better things to do. (leaves)
You promised he'd grow on me.
So, how was you and Donna?
It was okay. It may not have been crazy-hot monkey sex like when we first started dating, but it was very much in the general category of, uh, jungle humping.
Yes. Maybe not, you know, tree swinging, but certainly canoodling on some low-hanging branches.
Don't you dare feel sorry for me! This is what an adult relationship looks like, Charlie. People get comfortable with each other and they develop a routine. And if it's not always fireworks and explosions, well, that's a reasonable trade for a warm, collegial partnership.
This conversation is over. (storms off)
(reappears) OKAY, IT'S BORING! IT'S SUFFOCATING! IT'S A DEATHWATCH! But what choice do I have, Charlie? Pretend I'm you? I'm not you. I'm a monogamous, settle-down kind of guy who hangs on to a relationship until I'm looking at divorce papers or the pointy end of a steak knife.
Oh, that's a load of crap. You're just afraid if you let go of one of these broads, you're never going to get laid again.
Jake
You really want to do something with me?
Jake
How about if you drive me to the mall so I can see a movie with my friends and you pick me up when we're done?
And... what am I supposed to do all that time?
Jake
Well, if I were you, I'd go to Les Girls Girls Girls.
[Charlie walks into the kitchen]
Who's going to Les Girls Girls Girls?
Too bad. Daytime's better. Dancers are a little worse for wear but they try harder.
The truth is, I just love feeding him, cleaning him, changing him...
Jake
You know, if you stop feeding him, you won't have to change him.
I don't mind. I'm a loving nurturer.
Jake
Uncle Charlie says you're a crazy stalker.
SSloane
Jake, what I want to know is, were you in your uncle's room at any time today?
Jake
No, I never go to my uncle's room.
Jake
'Cause all the skin mags are in my dad's room.
