Quote from Dick in A Dick on One Knee
Dick: I mean, do you get married when the relationship stops to be about sex and starts becoming deeper? Pitman: Deeper than sex? Dick: I just don't know if I'm ready. Bug: Dr. Albright is tightening the old matrimonial chokehold, isn't she? Dick: Oh, I wish. Unfortunately she wants to get married. I guess I'm just gonna have to ask her. Leon: Well, why don't you buy yourself some time by giving her an engagement ring? Dick: A ring? Pitman: Something big and showy, you know. It proves how much you care for her and that way you can drag it out for years. Dick: So I just tag her, put her on the shelf, so I can pick her up whenever I want like... like human layaway? I like it.
