'''Woman''': "Provable how? From gypsies?"

* [[Happily Married]]: Rain's parents are happy and content, in stark contrast to Jack, Sally, Gabe and Judy.
* [[High
* [[Ice Queen]]: Jack sees Sally as one, of the "bossy neurotic wife" variety; a major source of trouble throughout their marriage has been {{spoiler|Sally's apparent frigidity}}, combined with her upper-class tastes.
