Jerry Quote #949

Quote from Jerry in The Wife

[stand-up:]
Jerry: To me, the thing about marriage is I can't believe how often it happens. I mean, I like the idea of it. But I can't believe that many people are meeting people that they want to see every single day, every day, every day, every day, every day. That should happen, like, three or four times in, you know, a whole century. Like any major investment, you have to sign a marriage contract. Here's your person. If you're a man, the bride's family pays for the wedding, that's like getting cashback. "Till death do us part", that's like the extended warranty program. Then you give her the ring, that's the keys. You slide it on, start him up, but you've got to try and make it work. Because remember, your value drops 20 percent the minute you drive each other off the lot.
