A scene from Splash 1984
Allen Bauer

[drunk]

I don't ask for much. I don't ask to be rich, and I don't ask to be famous, and I don't ask to play center field for the New York Yankees. I just want to get married and have a wife, and a house, and have a kid, and I want to go see him be a tooth in the school field.

Freddie Bauer

[Allen has 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.

Freddie Bauer

[Allen remains comatose]

Bartender, Another round for my friend and I here!

Allen Bauer

No, no, Freddie! I don't want to get drunk!

Freddie Bauer

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 Bauer

I don't know.

Allen Bauer

[coming to]

Ohh... I'm on the bar!

Freddie Bauer

Oh, you're on the bar. Here, let me help you down.

Freddie Bauer

[Allen slips and falls to the floor]

Uh-oh, you fell.
