Two and a Half Men, Season 1

Jake:
Hey, what you doing?

Charlie:
Trying to find some plausible connection between my jingles and the Industrial Revolution. What's up?

Jake:
I just talked to my dad. He said that he and Mom aren't getting back together again.

Charlie:
Yea. [puts the book down] How you doing with that?

Jake:
I'm not sure. I like that I get to stay here on weekends.

Charlie:
That's cool. I like that, too. But you gotta be sad about your folks though, right?

Jake:
No, I'm okay.

Charlie:
Jake, it's okay to feel sad, I've been told. And this is a sad thing.

Jake:
My dad's not sad.

Charlie:
Of course he is. He's just trying to protect you.

Jake:
From what?

Charlie:
From being sad. [Jake frowns] Yea, I know, it's a vicious circle. But the liquor industry is built on it.

Jake:
What?

Charlie:
It's not important. All you need to know is that we all feel sad sometimes and it's okay. Understand?

Jake:
Yea.

[Charlie holds out his fist and Jake bangs his fist against it. Jake gets up and goes through to the next room where Alan is sitting at his desk.]

Alan:
Hey buddy.

[Jake doesn't say anything but just gives him a big hug.]

Jake:
It's okay, Dad.
