| "The Quote" |
"You guys might not know this, but
I consider myself a bit of a loner. I tend to think
of myself as a one-man wolf pack. But when my sister
brought Doug home, I knew he was one of my own. And
my wolf pack... it grew by one. So there... there were
two of us in the wolf pack... I was alone first in the
pack, and then Doug joined in later. And six months
ago, when Doug introduced me to you guys, I thought,
"Wait a second, could it be?" And now I know
for sure, I just added two more guys to my wolf pack.
Four of us wolves, running around the desert together,
in Las Vegas, looking for strippers and cocaine. So
tonight, I make a toast!"
- Alan, from The Hangover
