Hall Pass Page #5

Oh, God, what a douche bag.

He won't even spend $60 on An Evening

With Kathy Griffin tickets for me...

...but he's gonna give some

make-believe genie 6 G's'?

- Wanna near something funnier?

- Yeah.

Hog-Head McCormick said 7500.

- Wow.

- What?

Look, I mean, on the bright side,

they're not cheating on us, right?

- Although that'd be kind of fun to watch.

- Ha, ha.

I'd love to see the look

on the girl's face...

...when she wakes up next to Fred

with his sleep apnea mask on.

Are you kidding?

He wears one of those things...

- ...with the mask and the tube?

- Yeah, it's awful.

That is attractive.

Every time I wake up,

I think a plane's going down.

You know, sometimes I wonder

if it wouldn't be better if they did cheat.

Just got it over with.

You mean rather than take

the slow boat to resentment?

I'm just saying, maybe a little freedom

would be good for them, and for you.

Have you ever considered giving

him a hall pass?

- A what?

- A hall pass. A week off from marriage.

- No.

- Heh.

Wait a minute. Are you saying

let them go out and cheat?

I'm saying, give them a week off

from marriage.

Look, most married men have very

foggy memories of their single days...

...and they begin to believe

that if not for you...

...they could be with these other women.

That's Fred.

I mean, he thinks

because he sees big tits all day long...

...and he manages to make it home

without squeezing one...

...that I should be greeting him

at the door like some hero.

Maybe it's time to let them

go out there and find out what it's like.

- Huh?

- it's called the reactance theory.

It's a principle in psychology

which says...

...that if you constantly tell someone

they can't do something...

...they just want to do it

more than ever.

Conversely, if you remove the taboo,

you remove the obsession.

You know what? I have an idea, doc.

Why don' t you let your husband have a

hall pass and let us know how it turns out?

Oh, I have.

Are you telling us you let Charlie

sleep with another woman?

I'm not telling you that. I gave him

the freedom to choose for himself.

And?

All I know is our marriage

is better than ever.

All right.

Here, I'll get it. I'll get it, watch.

Watch, watch, watch.

- Oh, wow, look at this place.

- Pretty good, huh?

- Hey.

- There he is, the lord of the manor.

You see the Prius? We're going green.

I can see that.

Everybody in the shack!

- The grand tour's about to begin!

- Come on!

I call it headquarters.

And behind that wall, the war room.

A 300-square-foot humidor.

The humidity in there never gets above

Oh! Unbelievable.

How does he come up with this stuff, huh?

Aw, thank you, Mandy.
