"Holy Manitoba!" "Wasn't that the most 10 plus thing you've ever seen?" " What?" " The ballerinas, Floyd." "Those flat skinny chicks that just went spinning by." "Really?" "The ones in tutus." "They just went down the sidewalk." " They did?" " How could miss them?" "They were right there, dancing on their tippy toes." "Are you ok Shelly?" "Yeah, of course I'm ok." "I think." "NORTHERN EXPOSURE 4x19 "FAMILY FEUD" Subtitles subXpacio" "Good morning Cicely." "You're listening to KBHR, the vox populi of the borough of Arrowhead County." "First up, the monthly meeting of the Cicely frostbiters." "Those who've lost extremities to the cold and would like to share with others who've been through the same experience, drop by the church tonight at 7:00." "BYOB" "Wednesday night, same time, same place," "Owen Smith, número 1 sled dog breeder and owner of Smith Feed Chalet, will give a free lecture on the care and diet of a Husky." "And this week's big event." "Tomorrow at noon the unveiling of the Whirlwind family totem pole." "Admission to this shindig is by invitation only." "Marilyn, mazeltov." " Hello, Dr. Fleischman." " Hey, Ed." "Let me ask you something." "You going to Marilyn's totem thing?" "Sure, we're cousins." " You're kidding." " Nope." " You and Marilyn are cousins?" " Yep." "The Whirlwinds come from the family's Raven Clan." "And the Chigliaks, from the family's Bear Clan." " Dave too." " So, that makes you..." " Cousins." " Right." "I've never been to a totem raising." "What exactly goes on?" "Is it like a wedding, a Bar Mitzvah?" "A bris?" "What?" " More like a slide show." " A slide show?" "Yep." "Family pictures and all, except instead of an album, they're on a big stick." "See you later." " Hey, Joel!" " Hey, Fleischman!" "Hey, what is it?" "Is it too late to cancel my spring water atomizers?" "You want to cancel?" "Mike has been a lot less congested lately." "Yeah, we even built a fire last night, no problem." " We roasted chestnuts." " Played Scrabble." " Who beat who?" " No..." " Go on, tell him." " She's a 7 letter maniac." "Did we turn off the oven?" "No..." " No..." " We better go." "We told Marilyn we'd make her a green bean casserole." " Don't let me keep you." " I got the check." "See you, Fleischman." " See you later, Joel." " Ok." "See you guys." "It was just so hyper realistic..." "They were like there, flesh and blood." " You ever wig out like that?" " Not really." "At first I thought I got to be dreaming." "But I pinched myself and it hurt." " Is that Red's order?" " Yeah, pancakes..." " ...and shrimp salad." " Supposed to be link sausages." "That's the second order I blew today." " Shelly." " Yeah, babe." " Something wrong with your feet?" " Why?" "You're not wearing any shoes." "Mondo weirdo." "Give this to Red." " Hey, Leonard." " Good morning, Chris." "You mind a visitor?" "I've never seen a totem in process." "By all means." "I'm just finishing the detail work." "Still got to put these teeth in the Split Wolf crest." " A badger tooth." " Yep." "Opercula." "It's hardened calcium deposit." "Leonard, what does that big eagle mean?" "That's the symble for Marilyn's mom." "She was a riveter for Boeing." " That right?" "And the squirrel?" " That's Uncle Eli." "He owned a dry goods store in Kagamil." "I dig the whole linear development." "It's bold." "It's strong." "Yeah, I feel good about this own." "It all came together." "The grain was tight and the cedar took the chisel nicely." "I don't know how you do it, working without a net." "I'm a constructivist you know?" "I weld my pieces, metal on metal, shape on shape." "But sculptors, you know, working marble and wood, like Donatello, Moore, you." "One slip of the mallet, man, it's all over." " Never really enters my mind." " No kidding?" "I visualize the figures in the wood." "In a sense they're already there." "So really it's just a matter of removing everything that's excess." "First with a chainsaw." "Then with chisel and adze." "Liberating the figure from the marble that imprisons it." " Michaelangelo." " Yeah." "He would have done well with totem poles." " You experiencing any headaches?" " No." " Have you been sleeping?" " Yeah, total snoozeland." "Your eyes are clear and there's no floaters in the vitreous." "That's a relief, I guess." "Cover your left eye and read the lowest line you can." "D" " E-F-P-O-T-E-C." "Good, now cover the right and the lowest line you can." "L" " E-F-O..." "Shelly, Shelly!" " Finish the line." " The line?" "Yeah, L-E-F, etc." "Dr. Fleischman, can I ask you a personal question?" " Yeah." " Do you know how to tap dance?" " No." " I didn't think so." "Why do you ask?" "Seeing you bop around the room in that monkey suit..." "Have you sustained any injuries to your head lately?" "Me?" "No." "Follow my finger with your eyes." "Well, based on this exam and the history you've given me," "I can safely say that..." "you seem fine." " Seem fine?" " Yeah, I mean," "I can't say for sure without an EEG or a CT scan, but I can't find any physical evidence for the hallucinations." "There doesn't seem to be any neurophysiological or structural basis." "So maybe we should consider a psychiatric consultation." " Oh boy..." " I'm not saying it's psychogenic," "I just want to cover my bases." " Oh boy..." " It's nothing to get alarmed about." " It could be nothing more than..." " Than what?" "Well..." "It's a schizoid personality disorder." "Which is nothing more than a little fissuration of the mental functions." " In lay terms, it implies you're..." " What?" "I guess it would imply you're kind of nuts." " Hello, Joel." " Hello, Ruth-Anne." " Don't miss the shumai." " Yeah?" "It's good?" "Alright." " What's this?" " Salmon sticks." "Mucho gusto." " Yeah?" " Good with barbecue sauce." " This is great, you know?" " Here." "Thanks." "This reminds me of the block parties in New York." "We'd cordon off 79th St. between Amsterdam and Columbus, there'd be crafts and everybody would be having..." "Having what?" "Everybody would be having a good time." "Excuse me." "May I have your attention please?" "Ladies and gentlemen, can you hear me in the back?" "Thank you very much." "The unveiling of a totem pole is always a joyous occasion." "And today that joy belongs to the Whirlwind family." "A generous people, the Whirlwinds." "Give you the shirt off their back." "We recall last year when Lloyd Killdeer of the Bear Clan, pulled his Achilles tendon and couldn't sheer his sheep." "Ravens pitched in and got the wool to market." "And that's just the tip of the iceberg." "So without any further ado..." "The Whirlwind pole." "As you can see, it's been quite a decade for the Ravens." "Wait a minute..." "We all applaud their foresight in selling short on LA real estate." " Who could forget the many..." " Come on." "...grandchildren that have come to bless their houses?" "And I know we all wish cousin Norman Willow bank well on his orals for his PhD in international relations at Stanford." "I hope you're happy." " What the hell is going on?" " Bear Clan."

"Unexpected turn of events at today's potlatch." "Seems Bear Clan members took offense to a particular fish crest on the Whirlwind totem pole." "I'm not hip to the details, but it seems the Ravens take on family history is at wide variance with that of the Bears'." "Tempers at this time are running pretty high and the Bears have called for a retraction." "And the Ravens aren't even answering the phone." " Good afternoon, Marilyn." " Hi, Maurice." "Ed, here's your pork loin, and Maurice, smelt with the jacket and a side of slaw." " Thanks, Dave." "Sweeten that up." " You bet." "Maurice, tell Dave I'll have the same." " You get that, Dave?" " Please inform Marilyn" "I'd rather pluck my eyes out than serve her." "You're just jealous because Harold was a success." "He was a crook." "He stole his seed money from Roland." "Roland made that up 'cause he ran the business into the ground." "The Ravens have no right to that fish." "What the hell is going on here?" "Who's Roland and Harold, and what's this about a fish?" "It's all about the fish crest in the second tier." "It pays tribute to Marilyn's great uncle Harold, who owned a salmon cannery in Sitka." " So?" " Well, you got to understand" "Harold is a very controversial figure." "He opened an auto shop with Dave's great uncle, Roland Killdeer." "The Bears claim he embezzled the money to start the cannery from Roland." "Whereas the Ravens claim Harold found the money under the kitchen floor." "Harold Whirlwind and Roland Killdeer." "I can't place the names." "That's because they're dead." " Dead?" " Yes." "This all happened in 1934." "That's 60 years ago." "These people are still upset about that?" "Yeah, actually there's been a couple other incidents since then." "In 1961, Betty Killdeer got the first washing machine in Cicely." "And she wouldn't let any of the Whirlwind women use it." "Then in 1978, the Whirlwinds got a satellite dish, but they wouldn't let any of the Bears plug into it." "So the Bears retaliated by not inviting the Ravens to their New Year's Eve party." "I don't think anyone ever got over that one." "Couple of feud closures just in." "Raven Brothers flea market postponed indefinitely result of Bear boycott." "Inuit Knitting crafts fair canceled until further notice." "Family feuds are familiar territory to this DJ." "In 1912, my great-great grandpa Hank shot his 3rd cousin," "Deputy Lou Miller, for busting up his still and peeing in his corn mash." "80 years later in West Virginia, my cousins Jake and Kenny still like whip Millers in the school yard just for being Millers." "They say blood is thicker than water, maybe that's why we battle our own with more energy and gusto than we'd ever spend on strangers." " Hi, Shelly, what's going on?" " Lots." "We got to talk." "I need to be shrunk." " Shrunk like...?" " Yeah." "I was gonna cal KZAB, they used to have a headshrinker on, but they went country and yanked him, so, well you're the closest thing." "Cool." "I'm into that." "Shoot." "It's about these dancers." "I see them wherever I go." " Dancers?" "10-4." "In the bar, in the street, in Dr. Fleischman's office..." "But they're not really there." "I'll tell you right off the bat, it could be a couple possibilities." " Yeah?" " Yeah." "It could be your standard revelatory experience like a case of religious ecstasy." "A glimpse of the transcendent like Moses and the burning bush, or Joseph Smith and the Angel Moroni." "Some kind of thing like that." "Or it could just be some bad acid." "My friend Roach, in West Virginia, 1985, dropped some funky yellow and he's still seeing Gila monsters to this day." "The mind is this strange ball of goo." "My friend Tooley had his fair share of both religiously inspired and chemically induced visions." "He had the healthy take on it all." "He said, "Chris, as long as they're still on the wall and not crawling up your leg, let them ride, man."" "You know?" "Hey, Fleischman, I have your IV solutions." "Is it me or is 5% dextrose and water getting heavier?" "So this is how it is, huh?" " You weren't even gonna tell me?" " Tell you?" "You don't think I deserve the courtesy of an explanation?" "What are you talking about?" "Please, don't demean yourself by pretending you don't know." " I'm talking about you and him." " Him?" "Yeah, Mike." "You know, your public displays, your handholding, and little whispers, and the secret smiles." "Any moron could tell you are fornicating like jackrabbits." " So?" " So...?" "What are you?" "Are you made of granite, of ice?" "Fleischman, why should I tell you about my private life?" "Why?" "Because I am significant to you." "Because we are involved." "We have a relationship." " We have a relationship?" " That's right." " No, we don't have a relationship." " We certainly do." "No, excuse me." "Am I wearing your pin?" "Are we going steady?" "You'll not get out of it on a technicality." "We were an item and you knew it, I knew it, the whole world knew it." "There was nothing to know." "What would you call the last two and a half years?" "What would you call sexual relations?" "Sexual relations, one, singular." "What do you call taking me home to meet your grandmother?" "Now you're really out there." "You've strung together incidents and concocted some sort of romantic fantasy." "Wait, what?" "Fantasy?" "Did you say fantasy?" "Let me get this straight." "You're saying I dreamed this up." "That I just made this up?" "That there's nothing there?" "We're just... just..." "Yes, that we're "just just"..." "No, we're not "just just"..." "We are just... whatever!" "And whatever that is it implies a certain chemistry and intensity and passion." "Don't try to tell me we're "just just"." "Because we both know better than that." " Hey, Leonard." " Hey, Chris." " Got a sec?" " Yeah, you want to join me?" "Yeah, why not?" "I was looking at the fish crest that has everybody's quills up." "It's so small you could pop it out with a two point adze." " French fry?" " No, no." "Doesn't even touch the emergent line, running along the grain to the paw." "A little wood filler, some carpentry glue sand it down, nobody would even know it was there." "What are you saying?" "I should remove the fish?" "No, just, you know..." "It'd probably save everybody a lot of grief." "I can't do that." "The fish stays." "Leonard, do you really think Harold found that money in a can?" "I don't know." "That's a very iffy tale." "We're not talking about historical accuracy but about art." "I've set in motion a geometric inevitability." "If I start chiseling and chipping the whole form's compromised." "You're right." "I mean, what if Rodin had rolled over and put Balzac in a three piece suit?" "The piece would have lost its overpowering monolithic presence." "Yeah, and Seurat, you know." "You take one little dot out of "Picnic in the park "" "you lose an eye, a nose, a smile." "Would you pull a chapter out of "Sound and The Fury"" "or take the Andante out of Mozart's G Major Symphony?" " No, you wouldn't." " Right." "Leonard, I'm sorry." "Sometimes I lose myself." "That pole is perfect." "Don't touch it." "Yeah." "I'll get you a beer." "I love that pole." "Big Dave, give me a tall one pronto!" "Unbelievable." "I'm listening to Fleischman raving like a lunatic, he's going on and on." "And then, I start to think maybe I'm crazy," "I mean maybe we did have a..." "whatever." " Would you pass the basil seedlings?" " Yeah, sure." "Then I did a reality check and said, we didn't have a whatever." "It's obvious, we know each other." "I'll admit we were thrust into some intimate situations." "But I suppose in a way I can understand how his fevered twisted imagination could see how we had a whatever." "You know?" "Not that I would call it that." "I'd call it a... whatever." "Potting soil?" "Right there, hon'." "The point is, why did he feel the need to do that?" "When you think about it the answer is obvious." "He was hurt." "He's a very angry, very insecure individual." "And he wanted something." "He wanted me." "And he lost and you won." "You got me." "So he felt the need to compensate, and in a way I feel sorry for him." "He looks at us and sees us happy together." "And he's alone and he has no one." " I know what you're thinking." " You do?" "You think I should go talk to him and straighten it out." "You're right." "Yes, he's a screwed up individual, but he's not totally bad." "He has a few endearing qualities." "He's pretty smart, and has an ok sense of humor and is almost fun to be with." "Why can't we all be friends?" "Why does this have to be a win-lose situation?" "Why can't it be a win-win for everybody?" "Right." "You're incredible." "Most guys would have a problem if the woman they're seriously involved with tried to patch things up with their ex... whatever." "But that just goes to show what a strong confident man you are." " Hi, Shelly." " Hi, Leonard." "Oh man, not again..." "You ok?" " Shelly?" " I'm going psycho, Leonard." " Dancers." " You saw them too?" "No, but I recognize the signs." " What signs?" " Signs of someone seeing dancers." "Eyes glaze over, pupils dilated, slight involuntary rhythmic swing." " This happens to other people?" " Sure." "I see it a few times a year." "Really?" " What can I do to make it stop?" " Get married." "The dancers are an expression of a subconscious drive." "A dream symbol." "In Freudian theory, for instance, a snake symbolizes the penis, crumbling teeth indicates a fear of castration." "And to you as to a lot of people, life is a dance." "And for that you need a partner, a husband." "So if I get hitched to Holling the dancers take a hike?" "Absolutely..." "Or not." "Thanks, Leonard." "Dave, can you catch table 4?" "We're swamped." " Holling, those are Ravens." " Not in here, they're not." "In here they are customers, Dave." " Holling." " Shelly, where have you been?" " You got to marry me." " What?" "I know you get freaked about trucking down the aisle, but don't worry, this is not like some heavy duty romance thing." "It's more bengay for your back after work." "I need to get hitched to make the dancers go away." " You want me to marry you?" "10-4." "Don't take this wrong, nothing personal, but if you can't," "I'll have to find someone else." "If you need time to think, go ahead." " Alright." " You will?" "I'd be honored and proud to make you my wife, Shelly." "Dynamite!" "Thanks Holling." "Thanks heaps." "I'll find Chris, see if he can do the gig for tomorrow." " Tomorrow?" " It's too late for tonight." "I owe you one Big H." " Anybody home?" " Yeah." "Hold on." " Hi." " Yeah, what?" "I got this, just for you." "It's cheesecake." "Cheesecake?" "I was in Anchorage and there's this little deli." "They have great pastrami sandwiches, very New York." "At least that's what I'm told." "I saw that in the window and thought," ""Cheesecake, I bet Fleischman would like that. "" "That's very nice O'Connell, but what can I do for you?" "Truthfully I thought it'd be really good if we could talk." "Alright." "I was just thinking about what you said you and me and... us." "And actually, you were right in a way." "There is a history between us." "Not history as in "history"," " ...but there's certain..." " Whatever?" "Right." " Is there some point?" " Yes, actually." "Even though Mike and I have this very caring very understanding relationship, that doesn't mean you and I can't be friends." " Friends?" " Right." "You want to be friends?" "Yes." "I'd like that very much." " No." " No?" "No." "We are definitely not friends, because think about what friends do." "They have dinners, and conversations, they go to the movies, and help each other move." " So?" " So?" "Well, friends don't go into barns and tear each other's clothes off in an uncontrolled sexual frenzy," " then go at it in the dirt, do they?" " Fleischman, that was the cohos." "That was an animalistic wind induced bit of insanity." "That wasn't the wind." "What's with the wind up here?" "It was you and me." "It was sex, which had been there since day 1 lurking like this hormonal monster in the corner waiting to pounce." "I'm not saying there hasn't been a base animal attraction between us." "But so what?" "People have disgusting urges all the time." "They have urges to kill one another that doesn't mean they do it." "You can delude yourself all you want, but this thing between us isn't something you'll domesticate by putting it in a box labled friend." "I don't need to domesticate our relationship." "I can beat it to death with a stick, make hamburger out of it and eat it." "Fine, and top it off with some ersatz Alaskan cheesecake." "Thanks." "Goodbye." "Goodbye." "Chris in the morning on KBHR 5,000 watts in your ear." "Taking today's social temperature." "It's still pretty frosty outside, no end in sight." "The Ravens now plan to stonewall the annual fish head dinner over at Lake McClain." "For their part the Bowling Bears of Arrowhead country, have dropped out of Leo's autoshop showdown tourney." "Where's it all gonna end folks?" "Here's an item I think we can all get behind." "The honorable Holling Vincoeur and the foxy Shelly Tambo hereby announce their impending nuptials." "2:00 today at the church." "I know it's short notice, buy the bride to be is pushing for a quickie." "Medical Emergency." "No, it's not what you're thinking." "I know a couple of us have been down the aisle with them before." "Maybe this time they'll make it to the alter, right?" "Anyway, we'll keep our collective fingers crossed." " It's open." " Maurice, you have a minute?" "Holling, I guess congratulations are in order." "I know what you must be thinking right now." "I mean I've been so reluctant to make the plunge in the past." "Why now, right?" "I've been turning it over and over in my mind." "All these years I guess I just needed somebody to ask me." "I've always thought of marriage as a yoke around my neck, but saying yes to Shelly made me feel free." "I tell you, my heart feels like it's beating out of my skin." "I feel so full, so strong, so planted on these two feet." "Look here." "This belonged to my mother." "Can't you just see that gracing Shelly's delicate hand?" "Is there something I can do for you, Holling?" "Maurice, I know our wedding has got to pain you some, seeing that you loved Shelly so desperately and wanted her." "And without a question, Shelly is a glorious prize." "And you must feel diminished seeing her being betrothed to me." " You want to get to the point?" " The point is, Maurice," "I'd like for you to be best man at the wedding." "Best man?" "It would mean so much to me and Shelly both." "Alright, Holling, I'll ride shotgun for you." "Thank you, Maurice." "That is just the frosting on my cake." "I almost forgot." "I know it's customary for the groom to give the wedding party gift of appreciation." "And you are my wedding party." "So here." " A money clip." " That's genuine Yukon silver." "I better get on over to church and hang some streamers." "I got to see to the mulled wine and sandwiches." "I'm here for my allergy booster." "I'll have a seat until Dr. Fleischman is available." "Those allergy shots are very effective." "I very rarely ever have a sinus headache anymore." "It seems I've almost completely lost my sensitivity to pollen." "Harold didn't steal the money." "Marilyn, I know I put my Armani tie in the drawer by the yellow pages." " Hey, Ed." " Good morning, Dr. Fleischman." "Have you seen it?" "It was a geometric pattern, purply and green." " No." " I think it's in the splint drawer." "Are you sure you didn't see it?" "I got it." "I see you guys patched things up." "Good." "Very menschy." "Forgive and forget." "I'm impressed with both of you." "But we should be getting a move on, or we'll be late for the wedding." "It's for two, but I think we should get there early." "You never know with those two." "It could be over before it starts." "Hi, Claire, don't you look pretty." "Grab a seat." "Hi, Winnifred, nice to see you." "Hi, Mrs. Whirlwind, in you go." "You look lovely, dear." "The dress still fits like a glove." "Try not to shillie shall on the way to the pew." "I want to deal done." " Hi." " Congratulations, Shelly." " Thanks." "In you go." "Have a seat." " Yeah." "Ok." "Hi, Jake, take a seat." "Go back, back." "Let me grab your coat." "Look at Shelly in that pretty dress." "Isn't she a scrumptious angel?" "I don't know if I'd call her an angel." "I hope we have everybody, I'm closing the door." "Last call!" "Oh boy..." "Marilyn, hit it!" "I'm coming now!" "Marilyn, can it." "Ok, let's roll." "Ok..." "Marriage." "You've read in "Time" and "Newsweek" that it's a dying institution but try booking a reception hall in June." "Like the proverbial lemmings at the cliff everybody's still lining up to take the big plunge." "Chris can we just get to the nitty gritty?" "You know the "do you take" and "to death do us part" part." "Holling, is it ok with you if I cut to the chase?" " Whatever Shelly wants." " You take me as your lawful squeeze?" " Yes I do, most assuredly." " Me too." "Chris put a know on it." "By the power invested in me I now pronounce you legal." " May I kiss the bride?" " Yep." "We'll set face later babe." "Right now I got to check something." " Hey, Leonard, may I come in?" " Sure, Ed." "What's this?" "I'm starting a commission for the Green Trees." "Walrus Clan from Sletemute." " Sure is a big pole." " Big family." "Leonard, you probably know that for the last 6 years the Ravens and the Bears have been getting together for Sunday brunch over at the bingo." "Well, this Sunday that brunch has been cancelled." "And so has the 50km charity dog sled race." "The Whirlwind pole is just tearing the fabric of this town apart." "That's nothing new." "Throughout history people have always been passionate about art." "It's gone too far, Leonard." "Somebody has got to do something." "Somebody with a lot of clout, like Don Corleone in "The Godfather"." "Do you know the movie?" "Do I know the movie?" "I have the trilogy on tape." "Remember how they sent Luca Brazzi to sleep with the fishes." "Badly wounded Corleone himself, and lured his first born son" "Sonny out of the house and shot him at the toll booth." "Even still, Don Corleone was able to overcome his desire for revenge and called all the five families together for a big meeting." "And he said "Enough"." " Basta." " Basta." "Stand back, watch your eyes!" "It's open!" "Hi." "What do you want, Fleischman?" "I got to talk to you." "I've been thinking about us." "Here we go again." "It's been gnawing at me that I cannot come up with a word to describe what we are to one another." "We're not lovers, that implies more than one sexual peccadillo." "It would imply an ongoing romantic relationship which we are definitely not having?" "But we're not a one night stand." "We're not a chance anonymous coupling." "Right?" "You admit this?" " Do you admit that?" " Yeah." "So what are we?" "Because we are two people who don't like each other, we irritate and annoy each other but at the same time, we have this incredibly powerful abiding "whatever"." "What do you call that?" "I don't know." "All afternoon, I'm chewing on this and all I could come up with is some a stupid medical analogy." "Medical?" "Yeah, there are certain drugs well and good by themselves, but when you put 'em together, they produce a disastrous reaction." "Like warfarin and aspirin." "Excellent anticoagulants, but when you put them together, literally you can hemorrhage." " You can bleed to death so..." " Yeah?" "Maybe that's what we are." "In Medicine they're called "mutually repellant drugs"." "Mutually repellant drugs, incompatibles." "Incompatibles?" "Alright." "I can buy that." " But that doesn't do anything to..." " The craving." " Right." " That's my problem." "I guess we need an adjective." "Like a modifier?" "A qualifier of sorts?" "Right, something like..." " Affectionate." " Affectionate incompatibles." "No." "Inamored." " Inamored?" " Inamored incompatibles." " No." " You're right." "How about desirous?" " Desirous?" " Mutually desirous incompatibles." "I like that." "Mutually desirous incompatibles." "That's what we are." "I can live with that." "Good night, my mutually desirous incompatible." "Good night." "Shelly, I want you to know how sorry I am." " Sorry?" " Sling hash and bussing tables, that's no kind of honeymoon for anybody." "It was just such short notice." "No sweat, Holling." "I am so blissed out." "Who cares about a honeymoon?" " You're happy then?" " Are you kidding?" "I haven't seen a single dancer since we got hitched." "By the way, you forgot this on the sink." "You're probably just not used to wearing it." "Holling, don't get bummed, but to tell you the truth" "I have a problem with this ring." " Why?" "Does it need to be sized?" " No, it fits ok." "It just makes me feel like some sort of skanky old bag." "When a chick wears a wedding ring, it's like a keep off the grass sign or something." "Guys just don't look at her the same anymore." "They don't oggle her boobs or try to cop a feel." "They don't even slap her buns when she bends over for a spoon." "Maybe it's hard for a guy to understand but when a chick puts on a ring she might as well hang up her spandex and snake skin boots because strutting days are over." "I see." "Babe, that doesn't mean I don't have a steel belted radial around my heart." "Come here." "I'd like to thank you all for coming once again." "As we know, there've been a lot of bad feelings about the totem pole." "The whole thing just reminds me of Scorsese's" ""Last temptation of Christ"." "Lots of people got upset with Marty and his cinematic vision and boycotted Universal studios." "In any case thought, I asked Leonard if there was anything he could do about this situation without sacrificing his artistic principles." "Let me let him tell you about it." "It was tough." "I'm not gonna kid you." "It was a hard thing to do." "Inspiration came by way of the Federal Communications Commission." "As you might know, they've long advocated a policy of equal time."
