Quote from Jill in Al's Fair Lady
Jill: Trudy is a really sweet woman who has some very serious self-esteem problems. She obviously feels that she has to buy Al to keep him in the relationship, and I think that Al is uncomfortable with this. Tim: And he was masking his discomfort with all that giddy laughter? Jill: So? It's a case of classic overcompensation. Tim: Oh, stop it. Why are you picking apart something wonderful that happened in Al's life? Jill: What? The relationship or the car? Tim: Both! There wouldn't be a car without a relationship.
