More April 2003 marriage talk:
4/17/2003:
Caller: I've actually seen you and Beth out a lot in New York and I cannot believe that you don't think that this girl does not want to marry you.
Howard: I didn't say she didn't want to marry me. I'm not into marriage. We don't talk about it.
Caller: I know you aren't, but I kinda think you're a little naive that you don't think she doesn't want to get married and have kids.
Howard: Well, if she does she can tell me.
...
Caller: Don't most girls want to get married?
Howard: Yeah, they all do.
Robin: Not all.
...
Howard: You know I'm very happy in my relationship. I don't think marriage is gonna change it. Everyone thinks you have to move forward, there's got to be some big event that's gonna happen - marriage, children. How about just being happy? What's wrong with that? I've come to some revelation, I guess. It's like, well, I don't want to have kids - I've got three kids already, it's more than enough for me to handle - and I'm in a relationship and I'm happy. Why does everyone always have to look for something more?
Robin: I'm not looking for anything more.
Howard: I know. And you're fine and happy.
Robin: I've always liked it just this way.
Howard: Yeah it's fine. I'm very happy. I'm very honest about it and open. And I think Beth feels the same way. She told me, "I wouldn't be there if I didn't feel the same way." Why would she be there? What, is she gonna sit and wait for me to come around? That's insane. My niece is getting married. I told her she's nuts.
...
Artie: So that's your viewpoint even for women, not to get married?
Howard: Sure!
Artie: I thought it was just guys.
Robin: You don't want your daughters to get married?
Howard: I could care less. What would be so horrible if they met a guy they dug and, you know, whatever.
...
Caller2: You're stringing Beth along [inaudible]
Robin: *sigh*
Howard: But how am I doing that?
Robin: What a genius you are!
Caller2: Listen to my rationale, here. This girl is young.
Howard: She's not young! She's 30 years old! 30 years old is young?
Caller2: 30 years old is very young!
...
Caller2: She wants to be known as Mrs Howard Stern.
Howard: Get outta here. You don't even know her. Why is everyone commenting on my romantic life?
Robin: Why do they think they know, just because they feel that way, or they know someone who felt that way, doesn't mean she feels that way.
