Freddie People fall in love every day, huh? Is that what you said?
Allen Yeah.
Freddie Yeah? Well, that's a crock. It doesn't work that way. Look, do you realize how happy you were with her? That is, of course, when you weren't driving yourself crazy. Every day? Come on. Some people will never BE that happy. I'LL never be that happy. What am I talking to you for? You don't know anything.

Freddie [Allen is passed out and laying on the bar in a snack bowl] You see, drinking is a matter of algebraic ratio. How drunk you get is caused by the amount of alcohol you consume in relation to your total body weight. You see my point? It's not that you had too much to drink. You're just too skinny.
[Allen remains comatose]
Freddie Bartender! Another round for my friend and I here!
Allen No, no, Freddie. I don't want to get drunk!
Freddie But you *are* drunk. You see, a sober person would have reached for the pretzels.
Bartender Is he gonna' be up there all day?
Freddie I don't know.
Allen [coming to] Ohhhh... I'm on the bar!
Freddie Oh, you're on the bar. Here, let me help you down.

Allen Enough is enough, Madison. Come on, open the door. Something is wrong.
Madison [trying to make him go away] Allen, can you make me some pancakes?
Allen Make you some...? Madison!

Madison Allen, no! No!
Allen [tries to break down the door, but it won't budge] Ow.

Madison Hi.
Allen Hi. Are you okay?
Madison Yeah.
Allen Well, why wouldn't you let me in?
