Our Idiot Brother
Best Intentions
Ned: "I like to think that if you put your trust out there, I mean if you really give people the benefit of the doubt and see their best intentions, people will rise to the occasion."
What a nice sentiment, Ned. You will be ripped off for the rest of your life, but still...nice thought...
Most Cooperative Inmate
Ned: "They let me go early! I won 'Most cooperative inmate' four months running."
Yay? Now that Ned's out of the slammer, it's up to his three sisters to deal with him. And that cannot be easy...
I Didn't Just Hear That
Ned: "I broke down, I went and smoked with the kid that lives across the street from me."
Parole Officer: "Okay I didn't just hear that..."
Ned: "I said I broke down - I went and smoked with the kid that lives across the street from me."
Parole Officer: "You don't tell your parole officer that you just got high."
Ned: "Oh man, can you forget I said that?"
This pretty much sums Ned up right here. Ned doesn't think like normal people - he's missing some pretty key filters, like the one that keeps you from fessing up to drug use...to your parole officer.
Tourettes
Miranda: "Don't try to make me feel bad about any of this when according to you I'm um, what is it Ned? Hideously ugly."
Jeremy: "What? I didn't say that. Miranda, I would never say that about you."
Ned: "He so didn't say that about you."
Jeremy: "Thank you - please tell her I didn't say that Ned."
Ned: "He said that your personality gets in the way of your looks - your very good looks."
Jeremy: "Dude! Do you have tourettes?!"
Ned is that relative who causes mayhem everywhere he goes, without meaning to.
You're Wearing Food
Liz: "Well what's wrong with me now?"
Miranda: "Well, come on, Liz, I don't know. I mean what's going on with your hair here? It's like a science experiment back there. And I know you own contacts, you know, and you're wearing plastic shoes and - what is this shirt even made of?"
Liz: "It's flax."
Miranda: "See? I mean, isn't that a food? You're wearing food!"
Liz's sisters are trying to help her fix her marriage troubles. Miranda seems to lack...tact?
Tomion
Ned: "I've got to get back to work on the tomion."
Natalie: "The what?"
Ned: "The tomion. It's a cross-pollination between a tomato and an onion. Think of the time it'll save when you're making spaghetti sauce..."
Actually, I like this idea. But hey, it's Ned - so you just know it'll go all wrong.
You're Under Arrest
Cop: "Um listen Ned, you wouldn't happen to know where I could get some um...you know what I mean..."
Ned: "What?"
Cop: "Roll it up, toke it up, do it up - Mary Jane?"
Ned: "You know officer, even if I did, do you really think I'd tell you?"
Cop: "You're right, I'm sorry. It's ah, it's been a hard week."
Ned: "Yeah?"
Cop: "But not your problem, you have a good day."
Ned: "Officer...here you go officer, have some rhubarb." (hands him a package)
Officer: "Hey thanks man, wow. How much do I owe you?"
Ned: "Nothing, seriously I understand, I know what it's like to have a hard week."
Officer: "Well thank you, but I just wouldn't be able to enjoy it unless I..."
Ned: "Well if you insist, $20."
Officer: "Thanks. You're under arrest."
Ned: (Laughs)
Officer: "Really. You're under arrest."
Ned: "Aw sh*t!"
And that, ladies and gents, is how Ned winds up in prison. Rhubarb. For $20.
