The only part of the conversation i heard was #2 Son saying, "Calm down, babe!" to his wife, Daughter-in-Law Becky.

Danger, Will Robinson! i called out, laughing.  When he asked what that meant, i told him the reference, and that the sooner he realized you never say "Calm down" to an angry or upset wife, the better off he would be.  Her glare at him told him i knew of what i spoke for once.

Boudreaux, he be havin' trouble wit' Clothile some time, jes' like all marry people do.  One day, he be waxin' philosophy (as he say) at de Hubba Hubba Bar & Lounge.

"Mais, I done decide what marriage is!  It be de institution two people use to solve de problems dey din't have before dey get married!"
