Quotes
-
Darrin Stephens : I tell ya a man can take just so much then he has got to walk.
Stranger : You're so right.
Darrin Stephens : "It's just for a year," she says. "Okay," I say, "Call me in about a year. I'll be at Joe's Bar & Grill."
Stranger : I know how you feel. I've got a problem with my wife too - her mother.
Darrin Stephens : With all due respect, friend, your problem can't be as bad as mine. My wife is queen of the witches!
Stranger : She can't be! My mother-in-law's got that job!

Darrin Stephens : Well, I'm just not going to stand for it in my house. If I have to, I won't go home for a year!
Stranger : It's just about a year since I've been home.
Darrin Stephens : I mean it, I... It is?
Stranger : I never should've told my mother-in-law to get out of the house! She owns it.
Darrin Stephens : You hadn't seen your family in all that time?
[the bartender rolls his eyes. The stranger begins sobbing]
Stranger : I went back once about six months ago. My kid didn't recognize me; and the dog bit me and he's my dog!
[the stranger drops his head on the counter and sobs some more]
Bartender : Comes in every night and cries like that.
Darrin Stephens : Wow.
Bartender : You know, pal, this job gives me a chance to see some pretty good observations. Now he thinks his mother-in-law's a holy terror and you think your wife's queen of the witches. But if the truth be it known, they all got their good points. Right, pal?
Darrin Stephens : They sure do, pal. They sure do.
