"Will you manage me?"

"I said to him eventually, I said marriage is something you're just going to have to do on your own."

"She can walk the walk, but can she talk the talk?"

"The whole time we were dating, he kept saying, 'You can't catch me, I'm the Gingerbread Man!"

"What's this for poorer stuff?"

"I don't think you're taking this relationship seriously..."

"Do you, Amanda and John, promise to watch yourselves, mind your Ps and Qs, and generally step on eggshells in this marriage, in order to somehow keep it up and running for as long as possible?"

'What do you mean, you're having second thoughts...?'

'Wait a minute - This is getting too close for comfort.'

'Can we just do this pass-fail?'

"Monogamy? In this economy?"

'On second thought, dear, could you toss me the car keys?'

"Merely dating" "Lover's leap" "Undecided? Take a hike"

'And promise to love each other through constant drama, bad judgment, poor choices and self-delusion?'
