Gloria: Merle, I know that after talking to Jay, You think that there are better things out there for you.
Merle Tucker: Who says there isn't?
Gloria: Okay. Take a trip with me to the future. It's a regular night at the local honky tonk. Look, who's that man sitting alone in the bar? It's Merle. A beautiful woman approaches. She asks, "Is this seat taken?" He says, "No," and then she grabs the chair and goes sits next to a much younger, much handsomer-looking man. Then Merle turns around to the bartender and say, "Happy Tuesday, huh?" The bartender replies, "Don't you mean 'Merry Christmas'?" You see, Merle? It was Christmas the whole time!
