Narrator:
[about a therapist's radio show]
I found the show silly and always imagined my parents on it airing their standard complaints.
Mother:
He's a business failure. He never finishes what he starts. We're forced to live with my relatives and thank God for them. And I should have married Sam Slotkin.
Father:
Sam Slotkin's dead.
Mother:
Yes, but while he was alive, he was working.
Father:
She'd be lost without her whole family around her all the time, and you should see 'em. They're like some kind of tribe. They're like the Huns. Maybe if I had married a more encouraging woman, who knows?
Mother:
So who do you think is right?
Mr. Abercrombie:
I think you both deserve each other.
Mother:
What does that mean?
Father:
Look, we didn't come here to be insulted.
Mother:
I love him, but what did I do to deserve him?
