Evelyn

This event isn't televised, is it?

No.

Evelyn

Hmm. Well, I guess they only show the important awards.

[hands his keys to Alan] Congratulations, you've just been elected tonight's designated driver.

Come on, just ignore her.

Ignore her? It'd be easier to ignore blood in my urine!

Evelyn

Do you believe your future mother-in-law? Shows up at a four-star restaurant wearing a track suit with the word "juicy" stretched across her half-acre ass.

I can read, Mom.

Can we go back? I forgot my doggie bag.

We can never go back, Jake.

Oh, come on, it's not the end of the world.

Evelyn

Easy for you to say. You're not marrying into The Addams Family.

Oh, like you were a prize. Slipping a prenuptial agreement into my fiancée's menu?

Evelyn

I am just trying to protect you from being wiped out by a vindictive ex-wife who will use your hard-earned money to finance a frivolous life of partying and shopping and unnecessary plastic surgery.

Um, Mom...?

Evelyn

Every one of my surgeries was necessary! And if I had signed a prenup, you would never have gone to music camp, and Alan would have an overbite you could use to open a can of Pennzoil!

I didn't know Mia's last name was Addams.

All right, I didn't want to have to do this, but desperate times call for desperate measures.

[goes to the phone]

What are you gonna do?

Something I hoped I'd never have to do.

You don't mean...

I'm afraid so. [on the phone]: Hello? Mom?

[Cut to Alan lying in bed. There's a knock on the door. Alan looks up]

God, what plague have you set upon me now?

Evelyn

Alan? It's Mommy!

Good one.

Evelyn

What do you do? I mean, besides my son.

I'm in real estate.

Evelyn

How interesting, so am I.

Oh, yes, Evelyn Harper! I recognize you from your bus bench ads. People all over town are sitting on your face.

Evelyn

Well, dear, maybe someday if you work hard, people will be sitting on your face too.

Evelyn

So Charlie, how long have you been seeing this... lovely woman?

Er...how long has it been, sweetie?

Are you telling me you don't remember when we met?

Evelyn

The way he drinks?! There's a good chance he doesn't remember coming down the stairs!

Did his father drink?

What choice did he have?!

Evelyn

Anyway, I have to string Mr. Goto along until I have something to show him that actually is for sale.

Oh, I understand. It's called a bait and switch, and it's a felony.

Evelyn

Oh, well, look at you taking the moral high ground, and with nary a bottle or whore in sight. Bravo.

Evelyn

Teddy lives in Denver but he does a lot of business in L.A., so I helped him find a little pied-à-terre in Century City.

What's a "pied-à-terre"?

Evelyn

It's French for "a place to play hanky-panky with Grandma".

ACAlan and Charlie

Mom!

Evelyn

Oh, relax, it's not gonna scar him.

Yeah, but what about us?

Evelyn

As I said, Teddy's fine, but there are some areas in which he just... doesn't measure up... to Hugo.

ACAlan and Charlie

Oh, Mom!

Evelyn

It's the biggest I've ever seen. Makes it worth eating dinner at 3:30.

Well, I-- I'd love to help you out, Mom, but, uh, I have a date tonight.

Evelyn

So now it's inflatable sex doll night at Dodger Stadium?

No, no, I really have a date. And-- and the doll was a gag gift from one of my patients.

Evelyn

Charlie, what about you?

I tried it once, but I prefer a real woman.

[Charlie is on the couch, sick]

Hello? Anybody here? Anybody gonna take care of good old Charlie? OK, then. [picks up the phone] Time to scrape the bottom of the barrel. [on the phone]: Mommy, I don't feel good!

Evelyn

Charles, don't tell me you've got a case of the Bangkok Drippy-Drip. [to her pedicurist]: No offense.

No, it's either a cold or a flu

Evelyn

And this concerns me how?

I thought you could make me some soup or put a cold wet cloth on my head.

Evelyn

Oh darling, I'd love to, but, unfortunately, Mommy's sick too

[Evelyn holds her phone up to the pedicurist, who is coughing violently due the the nail polish}

That does sound bad.

Evelyn

Oh, it is.

PPedicurist

[In Thai, subtitled] I hate painting the hooves of this white she-bitch.

What was that?

Evelyn

Oh, just my delerious fever babble. Bye dear.

[hangs up]

Evelyn

Courtney and your brother are helping me with the wedding arrangements.

It's your fifth wedding, Mom. What do you need help with, besides remembering the groom's name?

Evelyn

You know, I'd cut him out of the will if I thought there was a chance he'd outlive me.
