Marcia: You know, Mike, this singularity ceremony may be the most positive step I've ever taken. The hard part was simply admitting to myself that I may well never have a permanent person in my life. After that, I discovered a different Marcia inside. She's strong, self-reliant, capable of standing on her own. This new Marcia respects herself. Mike: Have you introduced her to your parents yet? Marcia; Yes, and they're crazy about her. Except that she's not Jewish.
