Jack Geller Quote #66

Quote from Jack Geller in The One Where Nana Dies Twice

Monica: Dad, let's just make a decision.
Jack Geller: You're right. This is crazy. It’s just going into the ground. We should just get the most basic thing.
Monica: Great! That would be the non-protective corrugate fiberboard with white laminate. And we can’t bury Nana in dresser drawer from Ikea.
Jack Geller: See, this is why your mother buys all my clothes. I hate to shop. I hate it!
Monica: Dad, don't you think this might be more about the fact that...once you make the decision, it's like acknowledging Nana's actually gone?
Jack Geller: No, I really hate to shop.

Jack Geller: I was just thinking when my time comes-
Monica: Dad.
Jack Geller: Listen to me. When my time comes, I wanna be buried at sea.
Monica: You what?
Jack Geller: I wanna be buried at sea. It looks like fun.

Quote from Monica

Judy Geller: No, I'd be hearing about why didn't I get the honey-glazed ham. Or I didn't spend enough on flowers. Or if I'd spent more, she'd say: "Why are you wasting your money? I don't need flowers, l'm dead. "
Monica: That sounds like Nana.
Judy Geller: Do you know what it's like to grow up with someone who is critical of every single thing you say?
Monica: I can imagine.
Judy Geller: I'm telling you. It's a wonder your mother turned out to be the positive, life-affirming person she is.
Monica: That is a wonder.
