This is not good timing.

All right.

But, I mean, it seems like|what you're saying, though,

is that marriage|itself is good.

Oh, you know, yeah- You gotta remember|your parents were young once.

They went out dancing.

They made love|in the back seats of cars.

Then they got married and had kids,|and the kids, they slowly...

sucked the life|right out of them,

until all their passion,|all their visions of a life...

of great adventure are reduced|to hoping to be able...

to sit on a goddamned toilet|in peace!

Well, I'm gonna get|something to eat, Joe, so I-

Well, I'm gonna get|something to eat, Joe, so I-
