    Al's speech was amazing

    Believe it or not, sometimes the serious scenes on this show were exceptionally well written. The actor they hired to play Al delivered a performance that I remember to this day.

    • Trivia
      The title is from the book 'I'm OK, You're OK', by Thomas A Harris MD.
    • Goofs
      Harry torches Dan's car for melting his Mel Torme records, and Dan is shocked when he sees the wreckage in the courtroom. Two problems: how did Harry get the car to the 18th floor, and the wreckage is obviously from an old Checker-cab whereas Dan has stated in a previous episode that he drives a Porsche.
    • Quotes

      Al: I don't know what's real anymore... When I was young, my mother told me Santa Claus was real. But when I got older- she told me he wasn't. One book says Jesus is real: one book says he isn't. We're living in the greatest country in the world! and we're murdering each other in the streets. What did they expect when they made us believe in the tooth fairy and the easter bunny then gave us the nuclear bomb to play with... Hey diddle diddle the cat and the fiddle is a lie like all the rest, the astronauts killed the man in the moon, growing up took care of the rest.
