Amy Quote #45

Quote from Amy in Misery Loves Company

Amy: You introduced me to Robert. And then you helped me get over him, and get back together with him, get over him again, and then marry him. And so now I want to help you.
Debra: With what?
Amy: Your marriage. Here. I read this great book. I thought of you the whole time.
Debra: "Marriage is an Amusement Park."
Amy: Isn't that a good analogy?
Debra: Oh. Well, I think I get it. The ups and downs, like a roller coaster.
Amy: Yeah. But that's just one chapter. There's "Haunted House," "The Hall of Mirrors", "Ride Maintenance."
Debra: How about the rides that make you throw up?
Amy: That's great. But they're all in here, and the point is: You might not like all the attractions, but you have to accept the whole park. [Debra is silent] This is the couple that wrote it. They're both licensed clinical social workers, but they're funny too.
Debra: Yeah, they look funny.
Amy: Yeah, they're funny... but they can help.

Quote from Frank

Marie: Sit down. Now you listen to me. Maybe you could all use some advice from someone who's in a position to give it.
Debra: See what you did, Amy?
Marie: You think we have nothing to offer? We've been married 46 years. We've seen the lows, and we've seen the highs.
Frank: What day was the high?

Quote from Marie

Marie: You two, you're newlyweds, you're in love. God bless you, you know nothing. And you two, you're always fighting. And the reason you get so upset is because you think there's something wrong with that. Look at us. This is experience. This is wisdom.
Frank: [eating chicken] This is juicy.
Marie: You want some real marriage advice? I'm going to give you the secret now: There's going to be yelling.
There's going to be anger. Don't fight it. Accept it. You love him. You hate him. He disgusts you. Look how he eats. You keep your head down, and you plow through.
Frank: Amen.
Amy: But Marie, you said "hate". How can hate have any place in a marriage?
Marie: You make room. There's going to be hate. Hate is real. Marriage is real. We might fight, but we're okay with each other. And do you know why? We've endured. We have been through it all, and now...
Frank: We're waiting for death.
Marie: Not that we're in a rush.
Frank: Fair enough.
Marie: That's a marriage.

Quote from Frank

Marie: Oh, that was so sweet. You two celebrating your anniversary like this... We used to be happy, remember, Frank?
Frank: Then the meteor hit and killed all the dinosaurs. Except for one.
