Quotes 

• Denny Crane : You know, the best part of my marriages has always been the first day.

  Alan Shore : Just married. Grand thing. But for me there was nothing more devastatingly lonely than being married for a while.

  Denny Crane : You never talk about your wife. What was she like?

  Alan Shore : She had all the most delectable qualities one could hope for. Creativity, desire, zealotry, a gorgeous clavicle, healthy lack of inhibition.

  Denny Crane : Sounds spectacular. What happened?

  Alan Shore : She began to know me too well, and I began to hate her for it. Even when I was unpredictable, she'd predict it. For those of us who aspire to be original, that's the worst sort of banality. She died. I've missed that banality ever since.
