Oct 21, 2002:Listening to an old show. And here's another Howard quote about marriage from 2002. My morbid fascination continues...
Robin: [Scott Einziger is] like Howard. He's a relationship guy. He was miserable the whole time he was single.
Scott: It's only a matter of time for you, Howie, buddy.
Howard: That's what you think. You're barking up the wrong tree. You think I'm gonna get married? I'm not.
Gary: I don't know that you're getting married. I think that there's some sort of bigger commitment down the road. I don't know what it is.
Howard: Friendship ring?
KC: That's gay.
Robin: Well, they're getting a dog together.
Howard: No we're not. I'm getting the dog. And Beth said she would help me with it.
Gary: But it gets to be one of those things where it gets to be like an unspoken thing where she spends like six nights a week at your apartment, yet she never gives up her apartment.
Howard: Right. I don't want to share an apartment. It's like Robin. She's in the same deal. Her and Mr. X don't share a house.
Gary: Yeah, I think that's his idea.
Robin: Oh my god no! What're you talking about?! I can't live with anybody!
...
Robin: I'm happy when I'm alone.
Howard: You should see how happy I am. We have breaks. Beth will go to her apartment and I'm doing work in my apartment. You look forward to seeing each other. It keeps it real. That's what keeps it lively. It's not natural to live on top of somebody every minute. It's not natural.
Robin: It might be a sign of great maturity to be able to do that. I don't have it.
Howard: I'm immature.
Scott: Matter of time, matter of time.
