"And I think everyone has room to grow... but Bob is perfectly satisfied... and says just being his wife should make me happy." "Midge, Iet me stop you right there." "I know we've had only one session, but from what I'm hearing... everything you say is completely right... and everything Bob says is completely wrong." "I think I'm gonna like therapy." "I think therapy's gonna like you." "Jackie, what are you doing here?" "You hate wrestling." "michael likes it, and anything that michael likes, I Iike." "'Cause I Iike michael."
