Judd Hirsch: Alan Eppes

Quotes 

• Alan Eppes : [a pumpkin falls in the background and shatters on the ground like glass, startling Alan]  What the hell was that?

  Dr. Larry Fleinhardt : A Cal Sci Tradition. Every Halloween the students drop pumpkins from the highest point on campus.

  Alan Eppes : From the roof of the library?

  [Another pumpkins shatters] 

  Dr. Larry Fleinhardt : Yeah, the tradition further holds that the pumpkins be dipped in liquid nitrogen to intensify the explosion.

  Alan Eppes : Well in that case, I'm starting a new tradition: The frightened student dash.

  [Runs down the stairs as another pumpkin drops] 

• Charlie Eppes : [Charlie walks in to his office to find his dad and Larry pulling pumpkins out of a liquid nitrogen bath]  Oh no, please don't tell me you're encouraging this.

  Alan Eppes : Now, don't blame Larry. This was my idea.

  Dr. Larry Fleinhardt : Yeah, your father though it would help him connect to the younger students.

  Charlie Eppes : Well then, what's your excuse?

  Dr. Larry Fleinhardt : I just like watching things explode.
