Husband and Wife in Bed


Does anyone know the entire quote when the husband and wife are in bed talking about how he would react when she died? It's really funny but I can't find it anywhere on the internet or on this website. If you can find it, please tell me! Thanks!

Looks like you'll have to get the scene the old fashion way. Get the DVD or record the movie, then keep playing the scene over and over until you got all the words.

Life is never fair, and perhaps it is a good thing for most of us that it is not.

I registered for this and found this site looking for that same quote!!...I don't own the movie to get it though : (.

ermmm its something about, not eating and shrivelling up, the only bit i can really remember is "The stench would be great" and "my cone would become shrivveled"

*sigh*
"your breathing has become erratic. a tork(?) for your thoughts?"
"Beldar, are you content with me?"
"of course. why would i not be? now, i would like to enter my slar(?) phase."
"let us suppose for some reason my life functions ceased- what would you do?"
"i would incinerate your carcass in the tradition of <name> the obtuse and put it in a clean dry place."
"would you find a new geneto-mate to bring to <something> chamber and propogate?"
"ah. my most precious one. i would collapse. i would draw the shades and i would live in the dark. i would never get out of my slar(?) pad or clean myself. my fluids would coägulate, my cone would shrivel, and i would die, miserable and lonely. the stench would be great."
"oh Beldar you have made me very happy."
"yes. i know. goodnight."

aside from the words they made up, that's how it goes down. when i heard "the stench would be great" i had to pause it and laugh for quite some time.

I think the greatest thing in the scene is the last shot, revealing they are not actualy "lying" in bed but more or less standing. I thought the posting was about that...

That's pretty much how I remembered it. I think the name of the character was Omar The Obtuse (making you wonder what THIS guys problem was).

Love that scene. Very funny and well performed by both.

Its funny too because its obvious Beldar has to deal with the same problems human males have to when they're married, having to reassure their wives at times when they would rather be doing something else like getting some sleep.
Great story he made up, but I doubt he would follow it. (don't tell the wife!)

Brilliant - should replace 'till death do us part' in the standard wedding vows.
