I can’t help but notice that you keep writing love poetry to my wife. Well, you see, I married her, which makes her my wife. You know what you might want to try? Writing some poems about the sunset. The sunset isn’t fucking married.

About This Quote

This quote is very funny since it shows us that she knows that he has written love poems to her. At the same time, she is saying that not only did he write poems about her but he also wrote poems about the sunset. She doesn't understand why he writes these things and at the same time she is encouraging him to write more poetry about her. Because she is so stupid, she doesn't get his sense of humor or his irony.
