This Is The Day
Hilary introduces Edward T to a book called "Getting To Yes", about negotiating with others and coming to compromise. ETM seems to think it's about getting others to bend to his will. Of course, he is wrong.
Hilary gives an example of using this strategy in relationships, and suggests this is the day his life may change if he uses this. She then asks ETM about negotiations in his marriage. ETM tells Hilary there was no such thing as negotiating in his marriage, which is why he was driven to the sauce.
The resultant flood of bad memories puts ETM in such a foul mood that he winds up telling Hilary that many people, in his opinion, are not worth his time and he just wishes these same individuals would go away and leave him alone.
This of course (like any sane person), surprises Hilary, and they get into a disagreement...
