Quote from Tim in Home Alone
Al: Hey, Tim, so your family is going away this weekend? Tim: Yeah. Al: You want to hang out? Tim: Nope. Al: Okay, then. Nice talking to you. Tim: Al, it has nothing to do with you. Just being alone this weekend will give me the perfect chance to write that book for Binford. Al: You're still writing that thing? Didn't they give you the advance, like, six months ago? Tim: Yes. And I spent the advance six months ago.
