Quote from Hal in Hal Grieves
Lois: You okay? Hal: Yeah, I'm fine. Lois: Are you sure? It seems a little weird that the second you come home from your father's funeral, you turn on Sports Bloopers. [turns off TV] Hal: Hey. Lois: Hal, it is not healthy to keep all this bottled up. Hal: I agree. I just don't have anything to unbottle. I mean, I thought I'd cry when I saw him in the box. I thought I'd cry when they closed it. I thought I'd cry when they put it in the ground and I threw dirt on him, but... nothing. Actually, I did get a little misty listening to the funeral we passed on the way out. Do you know that man was the shoeshine guy on the same corner for 40 years? Lois: Hal, you don't have to be brave. Hal: I'm not. You know me. I cried at that movie about the boxing wallaby. Lois: I remember. Hal: I think I'm not feeling anything because I never really had a relationship with him. I mean, I suppose he knew my name, but he'd always just call me "buddy." Lois: Oh, Hal. Hal: So, now a relationship that was totally meaningless and trivial is over. It's hard to get too upset.
