Amy Quote #33
Quote from Amy in Just a Formality
Robert: Listen, Amy, I went to your parents' house.
Amy: You did? Did you ask them? Oh, they must've been so thrilled.
Robert: Your mother couldn't stop crying. Listen, Amy. They said no.
Amy: What?
Robert: They don't approve of me, of my past. They said no to me.
Amy: What?! Really?!
Robert: Amy, they love you, and they want what's best for you, and I understand that. So I'm sorry.
Amy: Well, wait a minute. Wait a minute. I want to get married! And we can fix this! I know we can. My parents will learn to love you the way your parents love you.
Robert: Great.
Amy: I know. I'll talk to my brother, Peter. He'll help us.

Quote from Pat
Robert: Ahem. I'm sorry, but you know... I don't understand.
Hank: Well, Robert, you just don't seem to have the stability we'd prefer in a husband for our Amy.
Robert: Well, look, we've had our ups and downs, but- But...
Pat: It's just that over the years, Robert, there have been so many times when Amy was very unhappy.
Peter: You don't know the half of it, Mama. So often she would come into the store and curl up in the used comics section and cry like Little Lotta.
Pat: Oh my. So you could see, Robert, I think any parent would not want their daughter to have a life of... you.
Quote from Hank
Pat: Would you like some warm cider?
Robert: Oh, no. No, thank you. I don't want to take up too much of your time. Anyway... Um... The reason that I'm here... [takes deep breath] I've been thinking a lot about Amy, and she means the world to me. In fact, that's why I'm here. I wanna do things right. A- A- And out of respect for her and you, I would like to formally request your daughter's hand in marriage.
Hank: No.
Robert: What?
Hank: No.
Robert: No?!
Hank: We don't think it's a very good idea.
Pat: It's nice to see you again, though. You probably have a long drive back. I'll put some cider in a cup for you.
