The Simpsons • S08E06 • 1989

Mr Van Houten:
[sighs]
You know why all this happened, don't you? Because I took my marriage for granted. You know in twelve years, I never once helped out with the housework. Homer:
Oh yeah, you got to do that. Mr Van Houten:
I could have at least stayed in shape for her. Homer:
Oh, and for yourself. Mr Van Houten:
I could have taken just a little time to... to make her feel special. Homer:
It can't just be sex! It can't! Mr Van Houten:
God, I'm so self-centred! No wonder I didn't see it coming! That's how it is though - one day your wife is making you your favourite meal - the next day you're thawin' a hotdog in a gas station sink. Homer:
Oh, that's tough, pal. But it's never gonna' happen to me. Mr Van Houten:
Well, how do you know? What makes you guys so special? Homer:
Cause' Marge and I have one thing that can never be broken - a strong marriage built on a solid foundation of routine. [cuts to Homer returning to an empty house] Homer:
Marge, I'm home. Where are you? Are you OK? I don't smell dinner. [takes a note off the refrigerator door] Homer:
"Dear Homer"... aw. "Sorry you didn't want to join me tonight. I've left you hotdogs for dinner. They're thawing in the sink". [Homer sees them and screams]
