Stanley Ford:

Harold Lampson:
I'm a lousy lawyer, huh?

Stanley Ford:
[scoffs] No, you're married.

Harold Lampson:
Yeah, but being married is the normal way to live. Isn't it?

Stanley Ford:
Who says so?

Harold Lampson:

Stanley Ford:

Harold Lampson:

Stanley Ford:

Harold Lampson:
[rubbing the side of his face] Love and laundry, ay?
