Quotes[]
- Lowell Mather - So, you know, we've been screwing around long enough. Let's make this thing legal."
Bunny Mather - "Aw! That's exactly what he said when he proposed."
- Joe Hackett - "Give him a break. There's nothing wrong with crying, is there?"
Brian Hackett - "I don't know. What is the deal with men crying these days, is it in or out?"
Joe Hackett - "Uh, let's see: '60s was... love and sex. No reason to cry."
Brian Hackett - "'70s was... sensitive male. It's okay to cry. '80s was..."
Joe Hackett - "Making money. No crying."
Brian Hackett - "And what's the '90s?"
Joe Hackett - "No money, no sex, nothing to do but cry."
- Helen Chapel - "Oh come on. Lowell and Bunny were so loud they kept you up all night?"
Brian Hackett - "Morning too. I was halfway down the block, I could swear I heard them yodeling."
Helen Chapel - "Now that doesn't mean anything. My parents used to yodel all the time, and they certainly weren't...Oh, my God!"
- Lowell Mather - "I'm gonna go out and find an apartment for me and Bunny. Yeah I don't know, with other people in the house we feel inhibited."
Brian Hackett - "That was inhibited? When you were finished, I smoked a cigarette."
- Brian Hackett - "Funny, nobody ever believes their parents do it. You really want to blow your mind, imagine your grandparents doing it."
Roy Biggins - "Could we change the subject? I find this just a little distasteful."
Brian Hackett - "Oh, too distasteful for you?"
Roy Biggins - "Look, my mother was a saint. My father was a pillar of the community. The last thing I want to do is imagine Mom wrapped in cellophane, Dad wearing tights and a miner's helmet. I didn't wake up and ask for a drink of water again for 25 years!"
- Lowell Mather - "There's something I need you to clear up. I'm sure when you hear it, it's gonna make you laugh. Heh heh, I'm laughing already."
Bunny Mather - "What is it, Lowell?"
Lowell Mather - "Well, it's just a little tiny thing, and I'm sure you have a perfectly good explanation. But, Fay told me that you have a fiancé in Boston.
Bunny Mather -"Oh, he just calls himself my fiancé 'cause he asked me to marry him and I said yes. It's not like we set a date or anything."
Lowell Mather - "...It's not exactly the explanation I was hoping for."
- Bunny Mather - "Lowell, I love you a lot, but I don't think I'm cut out to be married. I'm just no good at it. I'm a lousy wife. But you have to admit, I'm a great ex-wife."
[Bunny reaches out to kiss Lowell, but he stops her]
Lowell Mather - "Wait. Bunny, I need more than that."
Bunny Mather - "I just don't think I can give you that."
Lowell Mather - "Then I think we should be separated."
Bunny Mather - "But we're already divorced."
Lowell Mather - "No, I mean physically separated."
