Jason you should be more careful. Would you ever keep anything from your spouse? jason: What did I say?
maggie: You said yes. jason: Well that's what I meant. maggie: What?
maggie: What do you mean, you'd keep things from me. That's like saying that you lie to me. jason: No. Now you're twisting my answer. The question simply asks, would you ever keep anything from your spouse. Anything's a big word. It means...anything. maggie: Well thanks for clearing that up. Now will you tell me what liar means. jason: Ah, come on Maggie. What are you making such a big deal of this for. I've always been honest with you. maggie: Oh?

maggie: Be upset. Nonsense. Does she still strip for money? jason: Maggie, she's an artist's model. maggie: And what does she have to dry clean anyway? You'd have thought they'd just have to hose her down once a week. jason: See this is exactly why I didn't want to tell you.maggie: Oh no no no no no. I'm not upset that you saw her. I'm upset that hid it from me. So what did you and the nudist talk about? jason: See I knew that I should have kept this to myself. maggie: Right. That and all your other little squalid secrets. Well if you'll excuse me I'm off to do a little jogging Jason. jason: Well I guess that means, no number thirty seven tonight.
jason: Thought I heard her voice. mike: No, dad. jason: Hey now Mike. There's no use in you and I discussing this karate thing anymore unless you're gonna be straight with me. Now I still think there's a girl in this class. mike: No way dad. Alright, well maybe there is this one girl, but we're talking flea collars and milk bones. This girl is the elephant girl.linda: Hiiiiyaa. Nice to meet you Mr. Seaver. jason: You thought Debby Dezamba was an animal.
maggie: Hi. jason: Hi. maggie: Oh, don't let me disturb you.

In fact I have a free hour if there's anything you'd like to discuss...Mrs. Seaver. maggie: Well Doctor, there is something troubleing me. jason: I knew it, I'm a psychiatrist. I sense these things. Would you like to sit down and tell me about it. maggie: It's my husband. jason: What about him?
jason: Right. We'll start with a simple test question. What do you really think of your
husbands red plad blazer. maggie: His red plad blazer? jason: Mmm. maggie: Well I think that it really brings out the colour of his gums. jason: The whole truth Mrs. Seaver. maggie: I think it's the ugliest thing I've seen since carol's snake got caught in the dish washer. jason: Good, now we're getting somewhere. maggie: And that awful tie he wears with it...makes him look as if a thrift shop blew up in his face.
jason: I only asked about the blazer. maggie: I'm just being honest. jason: Well I'm glad you're enjoying it. I have one more question for you Mrs. Seaver. By any chance at last year's Christmas party, did Marty Brant make a pass at you? maggie: Well how did.... jason: Well it doesn't matter how I found it. Did he make a pass at you or not? maggie: Well...yes. But it was nothing. I wouldn't even call it a pass. jason: He asked you to go to Taihiti with him. maggie: Just for the weekend. jason: Well why didn't you tell me? I mean doesn't a husband have a right to know when his wife if propositioned?
maggie: Who's resisting?
carol: When those world record people get this letter, we'll be in their next edition for sure. maggie: So what record did you guys break? ben: Most failed attempts trying to get into the world record book in one day. jason: And they said it couldn't be done.
