Quote from Lois in Separation
Lois: Well, it was 41 years, so you can't say we didn't give it a shot. Now please, don't be upset, because I'm not, really. I feel wonderful and free. Debra: You're unbelievable. And what about Dad? Lois: Well, he's fine too, and we'll stay close. We'll probably be better friends than before. And you know Pat and Cyril went through this, and they're much happier now. They share custody of the dogs. Debra: This is just like you, you know? Your hip and trendy lifestyle. It's chic to get separated now, so that's what you do instead of putting any effort into- Lois: Oh, come on, Debra, now that's not fair. It's been nothing but effort, and I have tried. Debra: You have never tried anything for longer than it was on a magazine cover.
