"My dear, what causes this sweeping assertion of my incompetence?" "I do! I do! Just what did you expect me to do when I grew up?" "Why, to be happy." "That's the profession you intended me for? Who's to pay the piper? It's expensive to be happy and also unlucrative." "I have always expected to support you until your husband claimed that privilege." "Suppose I want a husband who can't support me?" "Dear me, that would be unfortunate. It is the first duty of a husband to support his wife." "Old-fashioned husbands, yes-but not modern ones.
