Hal: How did this happen?
Lois: It's terrible. What's that look, Hal?
Hal: Come on, Lois. You've been trying to undercut this relationship from the start. And now all of a sudden, they're getting a divorce and you had nothing to do with it?
Lois: Please. You really think I have that much power to orchestrate people's lives... besides yours?
Hal: All I know is that our son is talking about ending his marriage - a marriage which you never supported.
Lois: Hal, that's ridiculous. Fine, fine. You want me to go talk to Francis?
Hal: Yes. No! No, no, no, no, no, no. This is some way for you to try to work out your agenda.
Lois: Fine. I will not say a word to either one of 'em.
Hal: Good. Wait. You won't say anything, which means you're just going to let this whole thing fall apart. Oh, I see your game, Lois.
Lois: Hal, what is it you want me to do?
Hal: No, no, you are not dragging me into your little Machiavellian schemes, thank you very much. No, you spun these tangled webs yourself, Lois. You get yourself out.
