Quotes
-
Dr. Kathleen Benedict : Look, you two have already tried separation, so the next step is divorce. But since you're here, I'm assuming you want to save this marriage. So, I'll ask again, how have the last couple of nights been?
Judith Anderson : Fine.
Alan Anderson : A start.
Dr. Kathleen Benedict : This is never going to work unless you start expressing your feelings.
Alan Anderson : Right, right. The process.
Dr. Kathleen Benedict : Okay. For the next couple of days I'd like to increase your sessions. The focus should be about getting back to the basics of being a couple. I want your guys to be more spontaneous. Get out and enjoy a night on the town.
Judith Anderson : Last night we did something kind of spur of the moment.
Dr. Kathleen Benedict : And what was that?
Alan Anderson : We checked into a motel.
Maya Taylor : [in Mr. & Mrs. Andersons' recall] Where's Alan?
[Alan strangles her]
Dr. Kathleen Benedict : Sounds romantic.
Alan Anderson : There was a spark or two. It was like our first time all over again.
Judith Anderson : I get butterflies in my stomach just thinking about it.
Dr. Kathleen Benedict : Now we're finally getting somewhere. You gotta trust the process. Let's build on this. Any plans of doing it again?
Judith Anderson : Definitely.
Alan Anderson : Absolutely.

Alan Anderson : You married?
Dr. Kathleen Benedict : Actually divorced. Why?
Alan Anderson : I just find it amusing we're paying you for advice on something you failed.
Dr. Kathleen Benedict : Well, there's a lesson in everything. My marriage taught me patience and understanding, which I try to pass on to my clients.
Alan Anderson : Is that what you tell yourself when you go home to an empty bed at night?

Dr. Kathleen Benedict : Dancing. I'm impressed. How did all that romance make you feel?
Judith Anderson : Spoiled. The roses, the dancing. He gave up a lot to make last night very special.
Alan Anderson : Yeah, I guess I'm starting to realize that it can't always be about me.
Dr. Kathleen Benedict : Compromise is important. I'm glad you're starting to understand that. I gotta say, you both are making great progress.
Judith Anderson : I think I speak for both of us when I say we'd love to make this part of our regular routine again.

Alan Anderson : That's one thing I've learned in the 20 years I've been married, is to listen to how a woman speaks on the phone.
