Fritz Howard:
But you had a lot of nerve, Brenda, calling me a liar. A lot of nerve.

Brenda Leigh Johnson:
What's THAT supposed to mean?

Fritz Howard:
It means it's funny being accused of being dishonest by someone who lies all the time.

Brenda Leigh Johnson:
I do not lie all the time.

Fritz Howard:
You lie all the...

Brenda Leigh Johnson:
When?

Fritz Howard:
When? You lie to your parents. In fact, you lie to your parents so much we had to have an extra phone line installed for over a year so they wouldn't know I was living here. You lie to Pope CONSTANTLY about what you do at work. You lie to me now when you say you're gonna do something like "look for a house" when you know you're not! You lied when you said you'd put THIS place on the market. You promised you'd do that three months ago and you never did it.

Brenda Leigh Johnson:
That is not a lie! It's just... I get busy, that's all. It's not the same thing!

Fritz Howard:
You know, you're right. It's not the same thing. You and I, we have different flaws, Brenda, but I have been more... I have been MORE than patient with yours because I am pretty aware of how bad mine are; but, for you to say that you don't trust me, to suggest that our whole relationship is on the line because of mistakes I made before we started dating?... You throw the word "if" at me while you're wearing that ring?...
