    • Quotes
      • Arlene Black: [Of her 33-year marriage] You two need to know the truth. It's no picnic!
      • Abby Willoughby: Were you in love in the beginning?
      • Arlene Black: [simultaneously] No.
      • Seymour Black: [simultaneously] Not so much.
      • Ira Black: [unnerved] I thought you were madly in love.
      • Arlene Black: That's what we told you when you were younger. It was a good story, it made you happy.
      • Ira Black: You were never in love? That's... that's depressing!
      • Seymour Black: That's why we didn't tell you.
      • Arlene Black: You learn to love. You *learn* to love, because you're *stuck* with each other.
      • Seymour Black: Well, not stuck. Um - *hinged*. Hinged! You're hinged together, so that you can still move a little, but at the end of the day, you're always together, through good and bad.
      • Abby Willoughby: Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's *very* bad.
      • Seymour Black: Hasn't been so bad, Arl.
      • Arlene Black: It's been bad, Sy. Trust me, Abby.
