Quotes 

• Alan Shore : [to Tara]  Hello, I'm a complete stranger and I'm here to pick you up.

  [notices Joe] 

  Alan Shore : Oh, I see, there's two of us. I'll be evens, you be odds.

  Joe : You got a problem?

  Alan Shore : No, actually. I just saw this fair maiden here talking to a tree trunk, and since I'm an arborist I thought I could help translate.

  Joe : Here's a health tip. Walk away.

  Alan Shore : Why would I do that?

  Tara Wilson : All right, guys.

  Alan Shore : Don't be deceived by my cushy appearance.

  Tara Wilson : Excuse me. I actually am with him.

  Joe : I don't care. Walk away, or I lay you out.

  Alan Shore : I don't mean to be a stickler, but isn't the object to lay her out?

  [Joe punches Alan] 

  Tara Wilson : Hey!

  Joe : Oh, gee, I'm sorry, I was reaching for my wallet...

  Alan Shore : I see. Allow me to reach for mine.

  [walks away to the other end of the bar] 

  Tara Wilson : Are you all right?

  Alan Shore : Fine.

  [to Mike and friends] 

  Alan Shore : Hello, big people. Sorry to intrude, but you seem rather strapping. Here's three hundred dollars. Would you be so kind as to go hit that man down there?

  Mike : [laughs incredulously]  Really?

  Tara Wilson : Alan!

  Alan Shore : There's an extra hundred if he goes down.

  Mike : You're on.

  Alan Shore : Make it a good one.

  Tara Wilson : Oh, for God's sakes.

  Alan Shore : [Mike hits Joe; fistfight ensues. Alan gives money to Mike's friend]  Here's a hundred; go help your friend.

  Alan Shore : [watches the fighting]  Gee, seems Joe has buddies.

  [passing out money to Mike's friends] 

  Alan Shore : One for you, one for you. I've got plenty of them. Hit him hard, now. For you, and for you...

• [Denny, Tara, and Lori in Denny's office as Denny loads a rifle, preparing to save Alan from a gunman holding him hostage just outside of Denny's office door] 

  Denny Crane : It's okay; I'm an ex-Marine. I was a trained sniper. Or was I a pilot? I can't remember. Anyway, I'm more of a skeet shooter now, so when I say 'pull,' you're going to open that door.

  Tara Wilson : You're insane!

  Denny Crane : Pull!

  [Tara opens the door; Denny fires] 

• Alan Shore : [listening to the news on TV at the office]  That's Bernie!

  Tara Wilson : Who?

  Alan Shore : The little skillet-welding client from last week, he's whacked another one. He promised me he wouldn't.

  [knocks on Bernard Ferrion's front door repeatedly] 

  Bernard Ferrion : [open's door]  Alan.

  Alan Shore : [walks inside]  What have you done now?

  Bernard Ferrion : There's a awful lot of excitement.

  Alan Shore : I saw, both live and on the news. You've been flaying again with your frying pan, haven't you, Bernard?

  Bernard Ferrion : I never meant for it to happen.

  Alan Shore : I am very disappointed. I gave you a terrific speech last week, Bernie, appealing to the kind inner you. It was wonderful - poignant, even, and how you have completely mooted it by committing murder again.

  Bernard Ferrion : I never meant to kill her!

  Alan Shore : Well, what? You just went over there to make an omelet and things got out of hand?
