I was watching the 50s tv show “Burns and Allen” today and the episode had this dialog.

> [@](#):
>
> Harry von Zell: George is really violent about not wanting to sponsor that ballet. But Gracie, listen, if you want to do it, do it. Did George ask you about buying a season ticket for the baseball games?
> 
> Gracie: Why, I didn’t even know he was selling them.
> 
> Blanche: Gracie, as Mr. Von Zell says, if you want to do it, do it. Who is George anyway, that miserable little -
> 
> H: One moment, Mrs. Morton! You may be quoting me right out of a job.
> 
> G: Blanche Morton, I’m surprised at you. George is my husband, just like Harry is your husband, and you know as well as I do that a husband is the boss.
> 
> B: Yeah.
> 
> G: And whatever our husbands want us to do, we do.
> 
> B: Well, that’s the way it’s always been and I guess that’s the way it’ll always be.
> 
> (Pause)
> 
> G&B: (laughing)
> 
> G: (laughing) Their word is law!
> 
> B: (laughing) They’re our masters!
> 
> G: (laughing) You getting a new dress for the ballet!
> 
> B: (laughing) Why sure!
> 
> (B&G exit)
> 
> H: (to camera) I don’t know why they’re laughing. I’m laughing because I’m single.

LOL!
