Charlie Harper: [about their Mom] You can't show weakness, Alan, she'll sense it. Like the hooded cobra senses the rapid heartbeat of a panic-stricken kangaroo rat.
Alan Harper: But don't you feel, even a little bit sorry for her?
Charlie Harper: Does the mongoose feel sorry for the wounded garden snake? Does the dingo feel sorry for the slow-crawling Australian baby?

Jake: [Charlie has been hired to write the theme song for the "Oshikuru" cartoon] So, I'll be like, the first kid in the world to hear this?
Charlie: Yep. Now, this is just a rough version, but you get an idea of the feel of it.
Jake: Okay!
Charlie: [begins to play piano, and sing] "Oh - Oh - Oh - Oh, Oshikuru, Oh - Oh - Oh - Oh, Oshikuru, My oh my he's a, demon samurai. Who's the guy who had to die"...
Jake: Boy... that really blows.

Alan Harper: But the truth is, you and I see each other every day, and we really don't know much about each other.
Berta: So you want to know what goes on underneath this gruff exterior; whether somewhere inside me, there's a tiny little girl who once dreamed of being a famous ballerina?
Alan Harper: Is there?
Berta: If there is, it's because I accidentally ate one, and haven't passed her yet... Let me tell you, I am dreading that tiara.

Rose: So, Alan. Tell me about yourself.
Alan Harper: What would you like to know ?
Rose: Everything. I really don't know that much about you, aside fromt he fact that you're Charlie's brother and Jake's dad. Graduated from Cal State Long Beach, married your college sweet heart, and sometimes in the middle of the night when you're half asleep you pee sitting down.
Alan Harper: Have you been spying on me?
Rose: No, silly. I spy on Charlie. You just get in the way sometimes.
Alan Harper: You know what? Why don't you tell me about you?
Rose: Well, okay. Well, let's see. I, too, pee sitting down, so we have that in common. I come from a wealthy family, so, I guess I've had kind of a sheltered life. You know, fancy private schools and colleges.
Alan Harper: No kidding. What college did you go to?
Rose: Princeton. But just for two years.
Alan Harper: Oh. So, you dropped out.
Rose: No, I finished. Then I came back to California to do my masters at Stanford.
Alan Harper: That's amazing. What's your degree in?


Rose: Behavioural psychology.

Berta: Well, gadzooks! Zippy's getting his freak on.
Charlie Harper: Yeh, it seems we're living in an age of miracles.
Berta: I guess if they can put a man on the moon, they can put a woman on your brother. Who's the girl ?
Charlie Harper: I don't know. He met her at the supermarket. Helped her pick out corn.
Berta: Corn ?


Berta: Huh. Well, I'm not in any position to judge. I once did a guy for a tank of gas.

Alan: [giddy with excitement] Charlie, I have never had sex like this before in my *life*! In fact, I-I-I don't think anything I had prior to this can even be called "sex". Because if we call that "sex", we need a new name for this. My suggestion would be, "Hootin'-Annie Yum-Yum".

Evelyn Harper: [Alan is furious with Charlie] How are my boys doing this evening?
Evelyn Harper: [no response] Burrrr... Well, I think Mommy has the answer. Alan, if you find it intolerable, living under the same roof with the brother who betrayed you, then you and Jake can come and live with me.
Alan Harper: [thinks it over, turns to Charlie, shaking his hand] We're good.
