A great episode from Curb Your Enthusiasm season 3 episode 7. Unfortunately cant for life of me find the clip, but Larry David and his wife go out with friends who are a couple for dinner. Their friend stu buys them dinner and they say thanks, and the wife asks for thanks and larry responds like so;
Characters; Larry and Cheryl. Stu and Susan.
Cheryl: "Thank you, Stu." (Stu bought larry and cheryl dinner)
Larry: "Anyway, thanks Stu, that's very nice of you."
Stu: "My pleasure. You're welcome."
Quiet pause.
Susan: "What about me? You gonna thank me too? "
Cheryl: "And thank you, Susan."
Susan: "You're welcome."
Larry looks blankly at Susan
Larry: "Why why do I have to thank you?"
Susan: "For dinner that my husband and I treated you to."
Larry: "Oh, I thought he treated me to it."
Susan: "Stu pulled out the credit card and put it down, yes."
Larry: "Yeah. So I thanked him."
Susan "And he's using our money to pay for it. So you could thank us, we're taking you out to dinner."
Larry "Well, you can call it our money, but for the sake of discussion, he's the one who goes to work and earns the money. You don't work."
Susan: "All right, what about Cheryl, you don't work for yourself. Whose money is it in your household? "
Cheryl: "Honey, it's our money."
Larry: "No, it's not."
Cheryl: "Oh, brother."
Larry: "I've earned the money."
Susan: "So what do you do, pay her a salary? - How does she buy things? "
Larry: "She spends the money that I've earned. She didn't work, I earned the money."
Cheryl: "Loving you is my job."
Larry: "I earned the money. It's just a fact."
Susan: "Stu, is it our it's our money. Our money."
Stu: "Right you know, and - Right? - He works, he gets the money. And it's their money."
Larry: "It's not "their money," it's my money."
Susan: "It's not about where it's coming from, it's what it becomes."
Larry: "It's completely about where it's coming from. That's what it's about, "Where does it come from?"
Susan: "Well, I must say that I am just glad that in my marriage, that's not an issue that Stu considers it It's not an issue in our marriage either."
Larry: "It's just a fact of where the money came from."
Stu: "Having a great meal so glad to see you guys. I'm just so happy to see you."
