Francis: I was hiding from Dad. I wanted to talk to you first.
Lois: Francis, your father and I have a joint checking account. It doesn't matter who you talk to first.
Francis: No, it's just you know how emotional he gets. I don't want him overreacting when he hears what happened.
Lois: What happened?
Francis: I think my marriage is over. [Lois doesn't respond] That's bad news.
Lois: Of course it is. What's going on?
Francis: We've been fighting about everything lately. I mean, how do you answer when someone asks, "Does your face have to look like that?" I put up with her face. With that nose always pointing at me.
Lois: Oh, Francis.
Francis: I still love her; I don't want it to end, but I just I don't see how it's going to last.
