If I died, would you marry again?
We'll talk about it when it happens.
We can't talk about it then!
Okay, no. The answer is no. I wouldn't.
Under no circumstances, if I die, would you marry again. You would be single forever?
Yes.
Would you date somebody?
No. I wouldn't.
Okay, Cliff I'm dead. I'm gone.
And you're still in the bed with me?
Suppose I die, and your mother came home with a 19 year old boy...
Yeah?
Well what do you mean, 'yeah?' I mean, I'm dead, and you can't even mourn for a tenth of a second?
Dad, you're not dead, you're sitting right here. This is a hypothetical death.
Okay, it's a hypothetical death, but you didn't even take the time out for a hypothetical mourning! I mean it's almost as if you wished I was dead.
No, dad, I don't want you to die!
Are you sure?
Yes.
Cliff, what's the point?
The point is I'm dead, and you all have me out on the sidewalk with the garbage.
Cliff, you are a wonderful husband and a loving father, but darling, you do have a problem. You never get to the point.
I am trying to get to the point.
All right, Cliff, go ahead. If you die...
Never mind.
