The Weaker Sex? (1975)

Paul Eddington: Jerry Leadbetter

Quotes 

• Jerry : [to Barbara]  Marriage should be a fair division of labour.

  Margo : Like ours.

  Jerry : Not quite like ours, I was thinking more 50-50.

  Margo : Meaning Jerry?

  Jerry : Not 80-20.

  Margo : I hardly call keeping this house in immaculate condition a mere 20%.

  Jerry : You don't. Mrs Pearson comes in five times a week.

  Margo : There is the garden.

  Jerry : I know. Mr Pearson comes in three times a week.

  Margo : I pick and arrange all my own flowers.

  Jerry : But you wouldn't do that if the Pearsons had a daughter who does flower arranging.
