Herb[Repeated line] You're sugar-coating Hell, Alan.
[treating Jake]
HerbJust keep him away from the staple gun. Also nail guns, glue guns.... pretty much anything with "Gun" in it.
Hey, hey, here's a funny thing! Uh, my name's Al, and I, uh, I give Judith money, [chuckles] so it's, uh, so it's, uh, "Al-i-mony".
HerbWouldn't it be "Al-i-money"?
I was afraid you'd pick up on that.
Until he [Jake] was ten, I had him convinced that swizzle sticks were money!
Hey, hey, uh, uh, speaking of swizzle sticks, ha-- have you considered eloping to Vegas?
HerbHmmm. No, we haven't--
No, I know what you're thinking, "tacky-tacky," but... uh, it's classy and very romantic.
Yeah, some of the hotel rooms have those big mirrored walls. It's like watching your ass bob up and down in IMAX.
Jake can have a little brother-- that would be a blessing for him, would it?
HerbOh, I don't know if I want more kids.
Then wear a condom. Besides, Jake's used to being an only child.
If there was a new one, he'd probably eat it by mistake.
Oh, eggnog.
HerbHoney, we've got a long drive ahead of us. [turns to Alan] We're spending the holidays in San Diego with my parents.
That's why I need eggnog.
HerbHey, I spent Thanksgiving with your parents.
Oh really, your mom's out of rehab?
Yes, my mom's out of rehab.
HerbActually she kind of jumped the fence.
Well, the woman's going to be your mother-in-law, you might as well get used to it. [turns to Judith] Remember the time she rode out of Betty Ford on a lawn mower?
[Judith glares at Alan]
On the plus side, she bakes Toll House cookies with walnuts and Demerol.
HerbI'm a doctor!
A real one, or like Alan?
HerbI'm a pediatrician.
Wow, so you're into feet.
HerbNo, children.
Isn't that illegal?
Jake can hear you two in bed.
Oh, God... oh god...
HerbHe didn't hear THAT.
[Alan rings the doorbell]
You wanna get the door, Herb?
HerbStop yelling at me!
I'm not yelling! THIS IS YELLING!
You know what? This really isn't that funny. [throws the oversized alimony check aside]
Herb [answering the door]: Oh, hi, Alan, Charlie.
Herb, is this a bad time?
HerbThe Spanish Inquisition was a "bad time". This is hell.
[Herb is taking the garbage out per Judith's orders while Judith is yelling at Charlie and Myra]
WHY IS NO ONE LISTENING TO ME??!!
Herb(from outside) I'M DOING IT!!! LOOK!!!
Myra [to Alan]: So how does this work? Do you get your original testicles back or does my brother give you his?
HerbMyra, the castration jokes are getting a little old.
Not in my house.
[Herb is gardening]
How do you feel about bushes, Herb?
HerbWell... I like a full bush. The way God intended.
I like 'em trimmed.
But, uh, but FYI, Charlie's a thief, a liar, and I suspect something of a firebug.
HerbReally. Hmmm, he always struck me as a straight-shooter. Little loosey-goosey with the liquor and the ladies, but, uh, all in all, a good fella.
In what universe is Charlie Harper a "good fella"?
HerbWell, I certainly don't know him as well as you do, so I'll just shut my pie hole.
HerbWell, uh, remember that advice you gave me about how to handle Judith?
Oh, gee, Herb, that wasn't so much advice as, you know, social satire.
HerbWell, it worked out great.
Really? She bought that "king of the castle" crap?
HerbNo, she kicked my ass out. But the thing is, talking to you and seeing how you live, I'm convinced I'm better off single.
Is that so?
HerbOh, yeah, I mean, uh, why chew on one chicken wing when you can eat from the whole bucket?
[after seeing Jake's shoe stuck to the coffee table]
HerbHey, Charlie, I've got a question for you.
Yeah.
HerbThe hotel I'm staying at has pay-per-view adult movies.
Uh-huh.
HerbWhatever happened to pubic hair?
Gone the way of the dodo bird, my friend.
HerbI mean, I can understand it with the ladies, but what's the deal with the fellas? It's like with an ugly house: a little shrubbery helps the curb appeal.
I don't have an answer for you, Herb.
HerbWhat about you? Do you trim the old hedges?
Yep. They're shaped like Disney characters.
