Two And A Half Men: Season 8, Episode 15

8 - 15: Three Hookers and a Philly Cheesesteak

Alan discovers that a fellow chiropractor's business is doing extremely well. Seeing as how they started their businesses at the same time and under similar circumstances, Alan determines the reason his business is failing and the other is booming is because of advertising. Alan decides to buy advertising space for all different kinds of media, and asks Charlie for a loan of $5,000 with which to buy the ad space. Charlie hands it over with no questions asked, and Alan, seeing how easy it was, decides to ask his mother for money, too. Evelyn gives $10,000, and Alan realizes that he has come up with a brilliant plan. He offers to let Herb in on a great "business deal," and Herb gives Alan $15,000. Alan pays Charlie back his initial investment of $5,000 plus 20% interest, and Charlie decides to give Alan back all $6,000 plus more, hoping even more interest will be generated by leaving the money in Alan's "advertising fund" longer. Doing the same with Evelyn, Herb, Berta, and even Judith, Alan begins to feel guilty, until he has a conversation with his reflection in the mirror and decides he should take advantage of his good fortune; sort of a reward after years of being stepped on. Meanwhile, Charlie continues his affair with Rose. Gordon, Charlie's pizza delivery man, discovers that Rose's "husband" Manny is really a mannequin, and unsuccessfully tries to tell Charlie.
