Susan: "Anyone knowing Emily Ellis could tell from the current contents of her refrigerator that she was in a state of acute depression. Crammed with frozen Chinese food -- egg roll, Chow Mein, Chop Suey, cartons of Won Ton soup -- its interior represented the only food in her apartment. And since she was violently allergic to Chinese food, she was obviously trying to commit suicide by starvation."
Kate: Nancy's not home. She's been apartment-hunting all day.
Doug: Ah.
Kate: Doug... There's nothing wrong with her finding a place of her own.
Doug: Oh, I know that. I just don't want her to leave for the wrong reasons. I mean, she had a tantrum, and now she feels obliged to see it through -- whether she wants to or not.
Kate: Suppose she wants to?
Doug: Kate, she has a house right back there. She pays no rent. It's an ideal situation.
Kate: For whom?
Doug: I'm gonna talk to her, when she gets back.
Kate: Better have a listen, too.
Doug: I suppose you think I'm being foolish.
Kate: Not foolish, fatherly. And wrong.
Doug: My loyal wife.
Kate: If you wanted compliance, you should've married a St. Bernard.
